Alphabetical Listing of System Controller Commands

The following sections describe the System Controller commands.

addcodlicense

Adds a Capacity on Demand (COD) right-to-use (RTU) license key to the COD license database.

Syntax

addcodlicense license-signature

addcodlicense -h

Options/Parameters

The following table lists all options or parameters and describes their use:

license-signature

The COD RTU license key to be added to the COD license database.

-h

Displays help for this command.


Description

Adds the specified COD RTU license key to the COD license database on the system controller.


Note - Before you run this command, you must obtain a COD RTU license key from the Sun License Center. For details on COD RTU license keys, refer to the Sun Fire Entry-Level Midrange System Administration Guide.


See Also

deletecodlicense, showcodlicense, showcodusage

bootmode

Configures the way Solaris software uses the OpenBoottrademark PROM to boot at the next reboot.

Syntax

bootmode normal

bootmode [diag|skipdiag] [forth] [reset_nvram]

bootmode -h

Options/Parameters

The following table lists all options or parameters and describes their use:

-h

Displays help for this command

normal

Instructs the OpenBoottrademarktrademarktrademarktrademark PROM on the next reboot to boot the system using the values held in the OpenBoot PROM variables verbosity-level and diag-level. This value also clears any previously requested bootmode command that had not timed out.

diag

Instructs the OpenBoot PROM on the next reboot to boot the system as if the CPU POST verbosity-level had been set to max and the diag-level to max. This ensures that the highest level of POST tests are run prior to Solaris booting.

skipdiag

Instructs the OpenBoot PROM on the next reboot to boot the system as if the CPU POST verbosity-level had been set to min and the diag-level to init. This causes the fastest POST pass prior to booting Solaris.

forth

Instructs the OpenBoot PROM on the next reboot to stop at the ok prompt even if the OpenBoot PROM variable auto-boot? is set to true. This prevents automatic booting to Solaris for that boot attempt.

reset_nvram

Instructs the OpenBoot PROM to reset its OpenBoot PROM NVRAM variables on the next reboot.


Description

Configures the way Solaris software boots at the next reboot.

When a bootmode command is issued it sets a flag that is read by the OpenBoot PROM at the next Solaris reboot. If the system is not rebooted with 10 minutes the bootmode value is restored to normal. Once the system has been rebooted the bootmode value is also set to normal. When bootmode is set to normal the OpenBoot PROM values verbosity-level and diag-level are used directly by OpenBoot PROM to control the POST behavior at boot time.

See Also

reset, break, OBP setenv (verbosity-level, diag-level)

Example

break

Sends a break signal to the Solaris console.

Syntax

break [-y|-n]

break -h

Options/Parameters

The following table lists all options or parameters and describes their use:

-y

Does not prompt for confirmation.

-n

Does not execute the command if confirmation is requested.

-h

Displays help for this command.


Description

Sends a 30 ms break signal to the Solaris console.

The Solaris console is resumed after sending the break signal. When the Solaris Operating System is running, and providing the system is not in secure mode, then the usual effect of this command is to force entry into the PROM or the debugger.

See Also

console, setupsc

Example

  • To use the break command to drop the system from running Solaris to the OpenBoot PROM: 
   lom>   break  

     

   This will suspend Solaris. 

   Do you want to continue? [no] y 

   Type 'go' to resume 

   {0} ok  

    

console

Connect to the Solaris or OpenBoot PROM console.

Syntax

console

console -h

Options/Parameters

The following table lists all options or parameters and describes their use:

-h

Displays help for this command.


Description

If the Solaris OS or OpenBoot PROM is booted, leave the lom> prompt and connect to the Solaris or OpenBoot PROM console. The system remains in console mode until the LOM escape sequence is typed.


Note - After issuing the console command and pressing Return, note that no prompt is displayed until you press Return again. If there is output being sent to the Solaris console at the time then the command will continue immediately.

showescape, showescape

Example

lom> console

 

console login:

deletecodlicense

Removes a Capacity on Demand (COD) right-to-use (RTU) license key from the COD license database.

Syntax

deletecodlicense [-f] license-signature

deletecodlicense -h

Options/Parameters

The following table lists all options or parameters and describes their use:

-f

Forces the specified COD RTU license key to be deleted from the COD license database, even if the license removal will result in a license violation.

license-signature

The COD RTU license key to be removed from the COD license database.

-h

Displays help for this command.


Description

Removes a COD RTU license key from the COD license database on the system controller. For further information on COD RTU license keys, refer to the Sun Fire Entry-Level Midrange System Administration Guide.

The system checks the number of licenses against the number of COD CPUs in use. If the license removal will result in an insufficient number of COD RTU licenses for the COD CPUs in use, the system will not delete the license key from the COD license database. If you want to delete the COD RTU license key, you must reduce the number of COD CPUs in use. You can either power down the domain and disable the appropriate number of boards, then power it on again or use dynamic reconfiguration (DR) to disconnect the appropriate number of boards.

reset -h

Options/Parameters

The following table lists all options or parameters and describes their use:

-y

Does not prompt for confirmation.

-n

Does not execute the command if confirmation is requested.

-h

Displays help for this command.



Note - Typing reset, without options, is the same as reset -x.


Description

Resets the Solaris system. The operation is not allowed if the system is in secure mode or powered down to standby mode. The Solaris system console will be resumed after completing the reset.

By default, reset uses XIR (eXternally Initiated Reset) to reset the CPU processors in the Solaris system. The XIR forces control of the Solaris system into the OpenBoot PROM and begins the OpenBoot PROM's error reset recovery actions. The error reset recovery actions preserve most Solaris system states to allow the collection of the data needed for debugging the hardware and software, including a Solaris Operating System core file. The OpenBoot PROM's error reset recovery actions are controlled by setting the OpenBoot PROM error-reset-recovery configuration variable.

If you cannot log into the Solaris Operating System and typing the break command did not force control of the Solaris system back to the OpenBoot PROM ok prompt), after you type the reset command for the first time, you must next type reset -a in order to reset everything.

The reset -a command is equivalent to the OpenBoot PROM reset-all word.

See Also

Examples


Note - You need to type reset -a if you cannot log into the Solaris Operating System and typing the break command did not force control of the Solaris system back to the OpenBoot PROM ok prompt after typing reset (without any options) failed.

setescape

Sets the sequence of characters used to switch from the Solaris or OpenBoot PROM console to the LOM prompt.

Syntax

setescape escapechars

setescape -h

Options/Parameters

The following table lists all options or parameters and describes their use:

escapechars

Up to five alphanumeric characters can be specified as the escape sequence. The default sequence when the LOM is first started is a pound (#) followed by a period (.), that is, #.

-h

Displays help for this command.


Description

Sets the sequence of characters used to switch from the Solaris or OpenBoot PROM console to the LOM prompt.

If you are typing at the console and type the first character of the escape sequence (by default this is #), there is a one second delay before the character appears on the screen. This is because the system waits for one second to see if the next character in the escape sequence is about to be typed. If the next character is typed then the system waits up to one second for the next character and so on. If you type all the characters in the escape sequence then the lom> prompt appears. If you do not, then the characters belonging to the escape sequence that were typed are output to the screen.

Choose an escape sequence that does not start with a sequence of characters that is frequently typed at the console, otherwise the delay between your striking the keys and the character appearing on the screen may be confusing and affect your typing.

See Also

showescape

Examples


Note - As # is the comment character for the LOM command shell the sequence must be enclosed in quotes.

-h

Displays help for this command.


Description

Controls whether components in a particular location are configured into a system. The location status of a component can be set to one of the following states:

In some cases a disabled component cannot be re-enabled by using the setls command. If a disabled component has a POST status of chs, as indicated in the showcomponent command output, the component cannot be configured into the system. Contact your service provider for further service action.


Note - The location status is updated at the next reboot, board power cycle, or POST execution. For example, POST runs automatically whenever you perform a setkeyswitch on or off operation.


When you disable the location of a component, its subcomponent locations are also disabled. For example, if you disable the location of a CPU slot, the memory locations that are controlled by that CPU are also automatically disabled.

Similarly, when you enable the location of a component, its subcomponent locations are also enabled, except when the subcomponent locations were previously disabled on an individual basis by using the setls command. The subcomponent locations cannot be enabled automatically through the parent component location. Each subcomponent location must be enabled individually by using the setls command.

Component locations can be the following (see TABLE 4 and TABLE 5):

TABLE 5 location Descriptions for an I/O Assembly

Board or Device

Component Location

I/O assemblies (slots)

IB6, IB7, IB8, IB9

Ports on the I/O assembly

P0, P1

Buses on the I/O assembly

B0, B1

I/O cards in the I/O assembly

C0, C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, C7--the number of cards varies with the I/O assembly



Note - If you are disabling the port locations of an I/O assembly, leave at least one I/O controller 0 enabled in a domain, so that the domain can communicate with the system controller.

showerrorbuffer

Shows the contents of the error buffer.

Syntax

showerrorbuffer [-p [-n nnn]]

showerrorbuffer -h

Options/Parameters

The following table lists all options or parameters and describes their use:

-p

Displays the error messages contained in the persistent system error buffer. This option is available only in systems configured with enhanced-memory system controllers (SC V2s).

-n nnn

Displays a specified number (where nnn is an integer) of error messages in chronological order.

For example,-p -n 5 displays the last five error messages in the persistent system error buffer.

-h

Displays help for the command.


Description

Captures error message information detected by the system hardware error registers and stores them in an error buffer.

All entry-level midrange systems have a dynamic error buffer that provides short-term storage of system error records. Once the system errors are recorded in the message log buffer, system error records are cleared automatically from the dynamic error buffer whenever more space in the buffer is required.

Entry-level midrange systems with SC V2s have both dynamic and persistent error buffers. The persistent error buffer captures the system errors that occur and stores the system error records until the error buffer is full. Once the persistent error buffer is full, any new system error records will overwrite the existing error records in the persistent buffer, starting with the records at the beginning of the buffer.

However, if your domains are set to reboot automatically upon error, the output from the showerrorbuffer command shows error messages that otherwise might be lost when your domains are rebooted.

You and your service provider can use this command to obtain information for troubleshooting purposes.

-l

Shows the host key fingerprint. Default is RSA.

-t

Specifies the type of host key. Default is RSA.

-r

Regenerates host key.

-h

Displays help for this command.


Description

Generates SSH host keys or displays the host key fingerprint on the SC.

When the SSH server has been enabled on the SC, the firmware checks whether an SSH host key exists. If not, the firmware generates (automatically) a pair of RSA private/public host keys. If you want DSA host keys on the SC, you must invoke ssh-keygen manually with the -t switch.

Once generated, new host keys take effect (are loaded into memory) after:

It is good security practice for well-managed machines to get new host keys periodically. If you suspect that the key has been compromised, you can run the ssh-keygen command to regenerate system host keys. Host keys, once generated, can only be replaced and not deleted. For newly generated host keys to take effect, the SSH server must be restarted, either by running the restartssh command or with a reboot.

Since host keys are large, 1 Kbyte in size, it is difficult to verify an entire host key. ssh-keygen can be used to display a host key fingerprint, which is the output of the md5 message-digest algorithm presented as a sequence of 16 octets printed as hexadecimal with lowercase letters and separated by colons. See CODE EXAMPLE 34.

Since host keys are stored on the SC, they get backed up with dumpconfig and can be restored by restoreconfig (By default, the dumpconfig command saves keys in encrypted format). When an SC failover occurs, the keys get copied to the redundant SC. In other words, the main SC and the redundant SC share the same set of SSH keys.

You can regenerate the host keys at any time by running ssh-keygen. If the host key already exists, you must specify the -r switch.
