Server Questions

[Mag0007]

A sun newbie questions:

How can I check what model my Sun is? I am thinking its an Enterprise something....

Also, how do I check how many domains it has?

I don't have physical access to the server, and I can't reboot, just wanted to know these settings...TIA!

as far as figuring out what model, If you are booted to operating environment use the prtdiag -v command. It is located under /usr/platform/sun4u/sbin.

As far as getting domain settup you need to get to the SC> prompt and run commands such as showdomain, showplatform etc.. run help to get the list of the commands. Not sure if you can check the domains from OS level.

If you are unfamiliar with th diferent Platform Shell, the Domain Shell, and Domain Console I found something for you that may help.

okay, if I have only 1 domain....I won't see this right?

System Controller `schostname'?

A couple things:

The prompt for the main SC is hostname:SC> . Note that the upper case letters, SC, identify the main SC.
The prompt for the spare SC is hostname:sc> . Note that the lower case letters, sc, identify the spare SC.

There are showsc commands:

The showplatform and showsc commands also display failover information.

Also if you are trying to do a firmware update the I believe the readme for the patch explains what to do about updateing controllers. You have to failover to the other SC, update that then fail backover to main and update that.


You may note have a second sc controller.
