Introduction to Server Software and
Configuration
This chapter provides an overview of the SPARC
®
Enterprise
M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 server software and configuration. It has these sections:
■
■
■
■
■
Preparing for System Configuration
Note –
This manual documents both the midrange (M4000 and M5000) and the high-end (M8000 and M9000) servers. This manual covers initial system configuration only. (See
“Initial Configuration Tasks” on page 5 .) When you have
completed the initial configuration, refer to the SPARC Enterprise
M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 Servers XSCF User’s Guide for day-to-day system administration and management tasks.
XSCF Firmware
Your server provides system management capabilities through eXtended System
Controller Facility (XSCF) firmware, pre-installed at the factory on the Service
Processor
1 boards.
1. The Service Processor is sometimes referred to as the XSCF Unit, or XSCFU.
1
The XSCF firmware consists of system management applications and two user interfaces to configure and control them:
■
■
XSCF Web, a browser-based graphical user interface
XSCF Shell, a terminal-based command-line interface
You can access the XSCF firmware by logging in to the XSCF command shell. This document includes instructions for using the XSCF interface as part of the initial system configuration. For more information about the XSCF firmware, refer to
Chapter 2 and to the SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 Servers XSCF
User’s Guide.
XSCF firmware, OpenBoot™ PROM firmware, and power-on self-test (POST) firmware are known collectively as the XSCF Control Package (XCP).
XSCF firmware has two networks for internal communication. The Domain to
Service Processor Communications Protocol (DSCP) network provides an internal communication link between the Service Processor and the Solaris domains. The
Inter-SCF Network (ISN) provides an internal communication link between the two
Service Processors in a high-end server.
On a high-end server with two Service Processors, one Service Processor is configured as active and the other is configured as standby. This redundancy of two
Service Processors allows them to exchange system management information and, in case of failover, to change roles. All configuration information on the active Service
Processor is available to the standby Service Processor.
Solaris OS Software
The Solaris OS is pre-installed at the factory on one domain by default. Within its domain, the Solaris OS includes features to manage Solaris OS system capabilities.
Note –
The XSCF firmware requires that all domains have the SUNWsckmr and
SUNWsckmu.u packages. Since the Core System, Reduced Network, and Minimal
System versions of the Solaris OS do not automatically install these packages, you must do so on any domains that do not already have them.
You can install applications on the domains. That process is managed through the
Solaris OS tools. Likewise, any other software management applications that you prefer to use on the domains must be installed through the Solaris OS tools.
The DSCP network provides an internal communication link between the Service
Processor and the Solaris domains.

Description
Access control includes logging in to the system, user accounts, passwords, privileges, and XSCF firmware control.
Refer to Chapter 2 .
Initial configuration of the services for the Service Processor and the domains, including DSCP network, XSCF network, DNS name service, LDAP service, NTP service, HTTPS service, Telnet service, SSH service, SNMP service, and SMTP service.
Refer to Chapter 3 .
Each domain runs its own copy of the Solaris OS. Domains are managed by the
Service Processor XSCF firmware, and communicate with the Service Processor over the DSCP network. You can access a domain console from the Service Processor or, if your system is networked, log in to a domain directly.
Refer to Chapter 4
.
The auditing function logs all security-related events.
Refer to Chapter 5 .
The log archiving function allows you to set up a remote host to automatically receive and store log data from your server.
Refer to Chapter 6 .
Capacity on Demand is an option that allows you to purchase spare processing capacity for your server. The spare capacity is provided in the form of one or more
CPUs on COD boards that are installed on your server. To use the CPU processing capacity, you must purchase a license. The XSCF firmware allows you to set up and manage COD.
Refer to Chapter 7 .
Security is provided through access control (user names, passwords, privileges), audit logs of security-related events, and various security protocols. Your server is secure by default. That is, other than setting up user accounts and privileges, no initial configuration has to be done related to security. For example, no insecure protocols, such as Telnet, are initially enabled.
Refer to Chapter 2 , Chapter 5 .

Description
No initial configuration is needed.
• Domain fault management includes CPU, memory, and I/O (PCI/PCIe) nonfatal errors. All nonfatal errors are reported to the Solaris OS, which will attempt to take faulty CPUs offline or to retire faulty memory pages. Fatal errors are generally handled by the Service Processor.
• Service Processor fault management includes fatal CPU, memory, and I/O errors
(the Service Processor will exclude the faulty components upon reboot), as well as environmental monitoring (power supplies, fan speeds, temperatures, currents) and the External I/O Expansion Unit.
Refer to the Solaris OS documentation collection.
No initial configuration is needed.
PCI cards can be removed and inserted while your server continues to operate. The
Solaris OS cfgadm command is used to unconfigure and disconnect a PCI card.
Refer to the Service Manual; Solaris OS documentation collection.
No initial configuration is needed.
The External I/O Expansion Unit is a rack mountable PCI card chassis.
Refer to the External I/O Expansion Unit Installation and Service Manual.
Preparing for System Configuration
This section lists the information needed for initial system configuration and the initial configuration tasks.
Information Needed
Before you configure the software, have the following available:
■
Access to the Service Processor with the appropriate privileges for your tasks.
More information about access is contained in Chapter 2 .
■
■
An unused range of IP addresses for the internal DSCP network between the
Service Processor and the domains.
Network configuration information for the Service Processor, including IP addresses, netmask, DNS server, default route, NFS server.

SPARC Enterprise Mx000 Servers Administration Guide • November 2007
■
■
■
The number of domains in your system. By default, there is one domain and its domain number is 0 (zero). The number of domains could be different from the default if you specified another number of domains when you ordered your system.
Firmware version information if you are upgrading the XSCF firmware.
Information for optional services that you are going to use, such as Lightweight
Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) information for authentication.
Initial Configuration Tasks
Initial configuration requires these tasks:
1. Logging in to the Service Processor with the default log-in name over a serial connection. You must have physical access to the system.
2. Adding at least one user account with a minimum of one privilege, useradm.
This user with useradm privileges can then create the rest of the user accounts.
3. Configuring the DSCP network.
4. Configuring the XSCF network.
5. Setting the Service Processor time. The Service Processor can be an NTP client, or an NTP client and NTP server for the domains.
6. Configuring or enabling any optional services you want to use immediately.
These services include Telnet, SNMP, SMTP, LDAP, NTP, HTTPS, DNS, SSH, domains, log archiving, and COD.

Access Control
Access control is a way of granting access to the system functions or components only to those users who have been authenticated by the system and who have appropriate privileges. Access control depends on the proper configuration of the general security services provided by the server.
This chapter contains these sections:
■
■
■
XSCF Shell Procedures for Access Control
About Access Control
The Service Processor is an appliance. In an appliance model, users or management agents can access the Service Processor and its components only through authorized user interfaces. Users and agents cannot access any of the underlying operating system interfaces, and users cannot install individual software components on the
Service Processor.
These sections provide details on access control:
■
■
■
■
■
7
Logging in to the System
There are two entities that can be logged in to on the system, a Service Processor and a Solaris domain.
You initially log in to the Service Processor using a serial connection from a terminal device. A terminal device can be an ASCII terminal, a workstation, or a PC. For details on serial port connections, see the Installation Guide for your server or the
SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 Servers XSCF User’s Guide.
A unique login account with the user name of default exists on the Service
Processor. This account is unique in the following ways:
■
■
It can never be logged in to using the standard UNIX user name and password authentication or SSH public key authentication.
It can only be logged in to using a procedure that requires physical access to the system.
■
■
Its privileges are fixed to be useradm and platadm; you cannot change these privileges.
It cannot be deleted, it has no password, and no password can be set for it.
After initial configuration, you can log in to the Service Processor using a serial connection or an Ethernet connection. You can redirect the XSCF console to a domain and get a Solaris console. You can also log in to a domain directly using an Ethernet connection to access the Solaris OS.
When a user logs in, the user establishes a session. Authentication and user privileges are valid only for that session. When the user logs out, that session ends.
To log back in, the user must be authenticated once again, and will have the privileges in effect during the new session. See
for information on privileges.
XSCF User Accounts
A user account is a record of an individual user that can be verified through a user name and password.
When you initially log in to the system, add at least one user account with a minimum of one privilege, useradm. This user with useradm privileges can then create the rest of the user accounts. For a secure log in method, enable SSH service.
Refer to “To Enable or Disable the Service Processor SSH Service” on page 43 and to
“To Generate a Host Public Key for SSH Service” on page 44 for more information.
8
SPARC Enterprise Mx000 Servers Administration Guide • November 2007
Note –
You cannot use the following user account names, as they are reserved for system use: root, bin, daemon, adm, operator, nobody, sshd, rpc, rpcuser, ldap, apache, ntp, admin, and default.
XSCF supports multiple user accounts for log in to the Service Processor. The user accounts are assigned privileges; each privilege allows the user to execute certain
XSCF commands. By specifying privileges for each user, you can control which operations each XSCF user is allowed to perform. On its own, a user account has no privileges. To obtain permission to run XSCF commands and access system components, a user must have privileges.
You can set up the Service Processor to use an LDAP server for authentication instead. To use LDAP, the Service Processor must be set up as an LDAP client. For information about setting up the Service Processor to use the LDAP service, refer to
“LDAP Service” on page 21 . If you are using an LDAP server for authentication, the user name must not be in use, either locally or in LDAP.
XSCF Passwords
User passwords are authenticated locally by default unless you are using an LDAP server for authentication.
Site-wide policies, such as password nomenclature or expiration dates, make passwords more difficult to guess. You can configure a password policy for the system using the setpasswordpolicy command. The setpasswordpolicy command describes the default values for a password policy.
If you have lost password access to your system, use the procedure
Initially to the XSCF Console” on page 12
.
Privileges
Privileges allow a user to perform a specific set of actions on a specific set of components. Those components can be physical components, domains, or physical components within a domain.
Chapter 2 Access Control

The system provides the predefined privileges shown in
. These are the only privileges allowed in the server. You cannot define additional privileges.

SPARC Enterprise Mx000 Servers Administration Guide • November 2007
The domainadm, domainmgr, and domainop privileges must include the domain number, numbers, or range of numbers to associate with a particular user account.
A user can have multiple privileges, and a user can have privileges on multiple domains.
User privileges are authenticated locally by default. You can set up the Service
Processor to use an LDAP server for authentication instead. For information about setting up the Service Processor to use the LDAP service, refer to “LDAP Service” on page 21 .
If no privileges are specified for a user, no local privilege data will exist for that user; however, the user’s privileges can be looked up in LDAP, if LDAP is being used. If a user’s privileges are set to none, that user does not have any privileges, regardless of privilege data in LDAP.
XSCF Firmware Update
The Service Processor firmware can only be updated as an entire image, known as an
XCP image. The image includes the XSCF firmware, OpenBoot PROM firmware,
POST firmware, and miscellaneous files. Only valid images authorized by Sun
Microsystems or Fujitsu can be installed.
The XCP image is installed in the Service Processor flash memory. You need platadm or fieldeng privilege to update an XCP image. More information on updating an XCP image is contained in the SPARC Enterprise
M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 Servers XSCF User’s Guide.

System Configuration
This chapter describes how to initially configure system services and internal networks that enable communication between the components of your server.
This chapter contains these sections:
■
■
■
XSCF Shell Procedures for System Configuration
About System Services
Your server uses various services to enable communication between its components.
Refer to “Preparing for System Configuration” on page 4 for an overview of initial service configuration.
These sections provide details on system services:

DSCP Network Between a Service Processor and a
Domain
.
The Domain to Service Processor Communications Protocol (DSCP) service provides a secure TCP/IP- and PPP-based communication link between the Service Processor and each domain. Without this link, the Service Processor cannot communicate with the domains.
The Service Processor requires one IP address dedicated to the DSCP service on its side of the link, and one IP address on each domain’s side of the link. The DSCP service is a point-to-point link between the Service Processor and each domain.
illustrates this relationship.

DSCP service is not configured by default. You configure and use the service by specifying IP addresses for the Service Processor and the domains. The IP addresses should be nonroutable addresses on the network.
The setdscp command provides an interactive mode that displays a prompt for each DSCP setting you can configure:
■
■
■
■
The network address to be used by the DSCP network for IP addresses
The netmask for the DSCP network
The Service Processor IP address
An IP address for each domain
18
SPARC Enterprise Mx000 Servers Administration Guide • November 2007
In a system with redundant Service Processors, the standby Service Processor does not communicate with the domains. In the event of a failover, the newly active
Service Processor assumes the IP address of the failed-over Service Processor.
DSCP includes its own security measures that prohibit a compromised domain from compromising other domains or the Service Processor.
The DSCP should only be configured when there are no domains running. If you change the DSCP configuration while a domain is active, you have to power off the domain before the Service Processor can communicate with it. Refer to Chapter 4 for more information on domains.
In a typical DSCP configuration, you enter a network address and netmask using the setdscp command. The system then configures the Service Processor IP address and any domain IP addresses according to this formula: the Service Processor gets an IP address that is the network address +1; and each domain gets an IP address that is the Service Processor IP address, + the domain ID, +1. For example, if you enter 10.1.1.0 for the network address, and 255.255.255.0 for the netmask, the showdscp command displays output similar to the following:
XSCF> showdscp
DSCP Configuration:
Network: 10.1.1.0
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Location Address
XSCF 10.1.1.1
Domain #00 10.1.1.2
Domain #01 10.1.1.3
Domain #02 10.1.1.4
Domain #03 10.1.1.5
...
This scenario minimizes the range of IP addresses needed for DSCP.
XSCF Network Interfaces
The XSCF network configurable settings include the IP address for the active Service
Processor, IP address for the standby Service Processor, gateway address, netmask, and network route.
Chapter 3 System Configuration

On a high-end server, one Service Processor is configured as active and the other is configured as standby. The XSCF network between the two Service Processors allows them to exchange system management information and, in case of failover, to change roles.
Optionally, a takeover IP address can be set up, which is hosted on the currently active Service Processor. External clients can use this takeover IP address to connect to whichever Service Processor is active. Selection of a takeover IP address does not affect failover.
When you set or change the information related to the XSCF network, including the
Service Processor host name, DNS domain name, DNS server, IP address, netmask, or routing information, you must make the changes effective in XSCF and reset the
Service Processor. This is done with the applynetwork and rebootxscf commands.

You configure the XSCF network with these commands: setnetwork setroute sethostname
(if using DNS) setnameserver
(if using DNS) applynetwork

SPARC Enterprise Mx000 Servers Administration Guide • November 2007
Once you have configured the XSCF network, it requires no day-to-day management.
Domain Name Service
The Domain Name Service (DNS) allows computers on a network to communicate with each other by using centrally maintained DNS names instead of locally stored
IP addresses. If you configure the Service Processor to use the DNS service, it “joins” the DNS community and can communicate with any other computer on the network through its DNS server.
There are no defaults for this service. To configure the Service Processor to use DNS, you must specify the Service Processor host name, and the DNS server name and IP address.
You can configure the Service Processor DNS service with these commands:
■ sethostname
■ setnameserver
On a server with dual Service Processors, the domain name is common for both
Service Processors. A host name can be specified for each Service Processor. Setting a different host name for each Service Processor does not disable failover.
Once you have configured the Service Processor to use the DNS service, it does not require day-to-day management.
LDAP Service
The LDAP service stores user authentication and privilege settings on a server so that individual computers on the network do not have to store the settings.
By default, the Service Processor stores user passwords and privileges locally.
Account information for users who have access to the Service Processor are stored on the Service Processor itself. (Authentication and privilege lookups for the server’s domains are provided by the Solaris OS.)
However, if you want to have authentication and privilege lookups performed by an
LDAP server, you can set up the Service Processor to be an LDAP client.
The general process for setting up the Service Processor as an LDAP client is:
1. Enable the LDAP service.
2. Provide the LDAP server configuration information:
■
The IP address or hostname, and port, of the primary LDAP directory
Chapter 3 System Configuration
21
■
■
■
Optional: The IP address or hostname, and port, of up to two alternative LDAP directories
The distinguished name (DN) of the search base to use for lookup
Whether Transport Layer Security (TLS) is to be used
3. Verify that the LDAP service is working.
On the LDAP server, you create an LDAP schema with privilege properties. The schema contains the following:
CODE EXAMPLE 3-1
LDAP Schema attributetype ( 1.3.6.1.1.1.1.40 NAME ’spPrivileges’
DESC ’Service Processor privileges’
SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26
SINGLE-VALUE ) objectclass ( 1.3.6.1.1.1.2.13 NAME ’serviceProcessorUser’ SUP top
AUXILIARY
DESC ’Service Processor user’
MAY spPrivileges )
You also add the following required attributes for each user on the LDAP server, as shown in
TABLE 3-2
Field Name
spPrivileges homeDirectory loginShell uidNumber
LDAP LDIF File Attributes
Description
A valid privilege on the Service Processor
The location of the home directory on the Service Processor:
/scf/home
The login shell on the Service Processor: /scf/bin/rbash
The user ID number on the Service Processor. The uidnumber must be greater than 100. Use the showuser command to display UIDs.
A sample file entry is:
CODE EXAMPLE 3-2
Sample LDAP LDIF File Attributes spPrivileges: platadm homeDirectory: /scf/home loginShell: /scf/bin/rbash uidNumber: 150
22
SPARC Enterprise Mx000 Servers Administration Guide • November 2007
Refer to the Solaris OS documentation collection for more information on LDAP servers.
If the LDAP client is configured and enabled on the Service Processor, lookups are first performed locally, and then through the LDAP server. If you execute the setprivileges command for a user without specifying privileges, the command deletes any local privilege data for that user. Subsequently, the user’s privileges will be looked up in LDAP, if LDAP privilege lookup is enabled. If you specify privilege as none, that user will have no privileges, regardless of privilege data in LDAP.
■
■
These commands manage the Service Processor LDAP service: setlookup setldap
Note that passwords stored in the LDAP repository must use either UNIX crypt or
MD5 encryption schemes.
Once you have configured the Service Processor to use the LDAP service, it does not require day-to-day management.
Time Synchronization and NTP Service
The Network Time Protocol (NTP) provides the correct timestamp for all systems on a network by synchronizing the clocks of all the systems. NTP service is provided by an
NTP daemon.
To use the NTP service, the Service Processor can be set up as an NTP client, using the services of a remote NTP server. The Service Processor also can be set up as an
NTP server, as can an external resource.
Note –
Check the Product Notes for your server, which may contain important information about using the XSCF as NTP server.
Chapter 3 System Configuration

shows how the time is synchronized.

Time Synchronization Method
The XSCF time is the time in the initial system setting or the time set with the setdate command.
XSCF operates as an NTP client. The XSCF time is adjusted to the time of the external NTP server.
XSCF operates as the NTP server. The domain time is adjusted to the time of the XSCF.
The domain time is adjusted to the time of the external NTP server.
When domains are powered on, they synchronize their clocks to the NTP server.
If the domain and the Service Processor are using the same time source, one benefit is that events logged in the Solaris OS and on the Service Processor can be correlated based on their timestamp; if the domain and Service Processor use different NTP servers, their times may drift, and correlating log files could become difficult. If you connect a domain to an NTP server other than the one used by the Service Processor, be sure both are high-rank NTP servers that provide the same degree of accuracy.
Every NTP server and every NTP client must have an ntp.conf file, in
/etc/inet/ntp.conf
. The Service Processor has a default ntp.conf file. If you are using NTP, you must create an ntp.conf file on each domain.
If you are using the Service Processor as the NTP server for the domains, create an ntp.conf
file on each domain similar to the following:
CODE EXAMPLE 3-3
Sample ntp.conf File for a Domain using XSCF as NTP Server server
ip_address
slewalways yes disable pll enable auth monitor driftfile /var/ntp/ntp.drift
statsdir /var/ntp/ntpstats/ filegen peerstats file peerstats type day enable filegen loopstats file loopstats type day enable filegen clockstats file clockstats type day enable where ip_address is the IP address you configured for the Service Processor on the
DSCP network. To display the Service Processor’s IP address, use the showdscp -s command.
24
SPARC Enterprise Mx000 Servers Administration Guide • November 2007
If you are using an external NTP server for the domains, refer to the xntpd(1M) man page or to the Solaris OS documentation collection for information on creating the ntp.conf
file for each domain.
SNMP Service
A Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent can be configured and enabled on the Service Processor. The Service Processor SNMP agent monitors the state of the system hardware and domains, and exports the following information to an SNMP manager:
■
■
System information such as chassis ID, platform type, total number of CPUs, and total memory
Configuration of the hardware
■
■
■
■
Dynamic reconfiguration information, including which domain-configurable units are assigned to which domains
Domain status
Power status
Environmental status
The Service Processor SNMP agent can supply system information and fault event information using public MIBs. SNMP managers, for example, a third-party manager application, use any Service Processor network interface with the SNMP agent port to communicate with the agent. The SNMP agent supports concurrent access from multiple users through SNMP managers.
By default, the SNMP agent uses version 3 (v3) of the SNMP protocol. SNMP v3 is secure, requiring an authentication protocol, authentication password, and encryption password. The valid authentication protocols are MD5 and SHA (secure hash algorithm). You can also configure your server to accept earlier SNMP versions
1 and 2.
The SNMP agent includes the v3 utilities for user management, the User Security
Model (USM), and for view access control, the View Access Control Model (VACM).
You can change the configuration of SNMP agent traps, USM user accounts, and
VACM information.
Initial SNMP v3 configuration includes:
1. Creating USM user information
2. Creating VACM access control information (group, view, and access)
Using VACM requires a basic knowledge of SNMP and MIBs. Refer to the Solaris
System Management Agent Administration Guide and to the SPARC Enterprise
M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 Servers XSCF User’s Guide for information.
Chapter 3 System Configuration
25
3. Configuring the SNMP agent
4. Enabling the SNMP agent
5. Setting up your SNMP manager application to communicate with the Service
Processor SNMP agent based on the configuration you used for the agent, namely, user, port, and trap information.
The SNMP agent is active only on the active Service Processor. In the event of failover, the SNMP agent is restarted on the newly active Service Processor.
Additional Services
This section describes HTTPS, Telnet, SMTP, and SSH services, and altitude settings.
This section does not cover all the optional services and settings for the Service
Processor that you might want to set up and use at a later date. For example, you can set up mirrored memory mode on the Service Processor using the setupfru command. Refer to the SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 Servers XSCF
User’s Guide for information on day-to-day administration and management tasks.
HTTPS Service
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) over an authenticated/encrypted connection allows you to use the XSCF web browser securely. This is called the HTTPS service.
Authentication is provided with a certificate authority and private keys. To use the
HTTPS service, you must enable it, and provide an optional port number. The default port is 443. To enable HTTPS service, use the sethttps command.
Telnet Service
Telnet service is disabled by default on the Service Processor. To enable it, use the settelnet command. Telnet provides an alternative for those sites that do not have ssh
.
SMTP Service
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) service is controlled by these commands:
■ showsmtp
■ setsmtp
26
SPARC Enterprise Mx000 Servers Administration Guide • November 2007
The authentication mechanisms allowed by the mail server are pop, smtp-auth, or none
(the default). The SMTP authentications supported are plain and login.
SSH Service
SSH service is disabled by default. To enable it, use the setssh command. A host public key is required for SSH service.
Altitude Setting
The altitude for your server is 0 meters by default. You can set the altitude using the setaltitude command. If the altitude is set, any abnormality in the intake air temperature can be detected quickly. However, even if no altitude is set, any abnormality in the air temperature, such as the CPU temperature, can still be detected. The server temperature limits are set to protect the domain hardware, so this command is logically used before powering on any domain.

Domains and System Boards
A domain is an independent system resource that runs its own copy of the Solaris
OS. Domains divide a system’s total resources into separate units that are not affected by each other’s operations. Domains can be used for different types of processing; for example, one domain can be used to test new applications, while another domain can be used for production purposes.
The number of physical system boards in your server varies from 1 to 16, depending on whether you have a midrange or a high-end server. One physical system board
(PSB) consists of 4 CPUs, 32 dual inline memory modules (DIMMs), and I/O. The
I/O varies with the server, and can include PCIe slots, PCI-X slots, and built-in I/O.
To use a PSB in your system, the hardware resources on the board must be logically divided and reconfigured as eXtended System Boards (XSBs). There are two modes of XSBs:
■
Uni-XSB
■
A PSB logically undivided and configured into one XSB
■
Contains all the resources on the board: 4 CPUs, 32 DIMMs, and I/O
shows a PSB in Uni-XSB mode on a midrange server, and
shows a PSB in Uni-XSB mode on a high-end server. The CPU modules and memory modules are known as the CPU/memory board unit (CMU) and the I/O devices are contained in the I/O unit (IOU).

A domain consists of one or more XSBs. Each domain runs its own copy of the
Solaris OS. A domain must have, at a minimum, 1 CPU, 8 DIMMs, and I/O.
In
, one domain (for example, domain 0) must contain XSB 00-0, and the
second domain (for example, domain 1) must contain XSB 00-1, because of the I/O requirement for a domain. The remaining XSB 00-2 and XSB 00-3 can be assigned to either domain, or to none.
Chapter 4 Domain Configuration

The number of domains allowed depends on which midrange or high-end server model you have. The default is one domain and the maximum number of domains is
24. Each domain is identified with a domain ID number, with the default domain as
#0.

Domain Component List and Logical System
Boards
The domain component list (DCL) identifies the potential resources for a domain. A single XSB can potentially belong to multiple domains. However, a single XSB can be
assigned only to one specific domain.
XSB numbers are not used in domain configuration, however. The software requires that each XSB number “map” to a logical system board (LSB) number. Processor numbers and I/O bridges are based on LSB numbers.
Appendix A contains additional information on LSB and device path names.
Overview of Steps for Domain Configuration
This section applies to domain configuration after installing a new board in the system.
Chapter 4 Domain Configuration
55
Note –
If you create a new domain, you have to install the Solaris OS on the domain. Refer to the Solaris OS documentation collection for instructions.
Domain configuration typically includes these steps:
1. Log in to the XSCF console with appropriate privileges.
2. Specify the XSB mode, either Uni-XSB or Quad-XSB, using the setupfru command.
3. Set up information for a domain (the DCL), using the setdcl command. The
DCL identifies the potential resources for a domain.
4. Assign the hardware resources (XSBs) to the domain, using the addboard command. The DCL must be set up before assigning XSBs to a domain.
5. Power on the domain, using the poweron command.
(
and
may be done in reverse order.)
6. Open a console to the domain, using the console command.
7. If this is a new domain, at the OpenBoot PROM prompt, install the Solaris OS.
Refer to the Solaris OS documentation collection for instructions.
8. Set up any services you want to use on the domain, such as NTP. Refer to
Chapter 3 for information on services, including NTP.
Domain Configuration Example
This domain configuration example assumes one PSB in Uni-XSB mode will be set up in Quad-XSB mode and configured into two domains. The domain configuration will be: domain0 = XSB#00-0 + XSB#00-2 domain1 = XSB#00-1 + XSB#00-3

Domain Communication
Domain communication includes:
■
Domain and Service Processor internal communication over the DSCP network
■
■
Accessing a domain console from the Service Processor
Logging in to a domain using an Ethernet connection
58
SPARC Enterprise Mx000 Servers Administration Guide • November 2007
DSCP Network
The DSCP network establishes a link, using IP addresses, between the Service
Processor and each domain. This link enables communication between the Service
Processor and domains, and the secure transfer of information. Each domain must have its own IP address, and the Service Processor must have its own IP address.
DSCP is optimized to securely exchange control data such as error reports, fault events, and time synchronization, between each domain and the Service Processor.
Accessing a Domain Console from the Service Processor
You can log in to the Service Processor and use the console command to access a particular domain.
Once you have access to the domain console, you will get the standard Solaris console with associated prompts, based on the configured shell. You will be able to run all of the normal Solaris command-line interface commands. To run Solaris GUIbased commands, however, you must log in to the domain from a remote environment, not through the domain console.
Logging in Directly to a Domain
If your server is networked, you can log into a domain directly using standard
Solaris applications, such as telnet, rsh, and rlogin. To ensure a secure connection, use ssh.
DVD Drive or Tape Drive Assignment
On a midrange server, the optional DVD drive or DAT drive can automatically be used by the domain on PSB/XSB 00-0.
On a high-end server, the DVD or DAT drives can be used by assigning them to a specific card port on an I/O unit. The devices are assigned to a specific port on an
I/O unit using the cfgdevice command on the Service Processor, then connected using the cfgadm command on the Solaris OS. The DVD drives are read-only.
See
“To Attach a DVD or Tape Drive While the Solaris OS Is Running
(M8000/M9000 Servers)” on page 62
for instructions. You can also refer to the
SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 Servers XSCF User’s Guide or to the cfgadm
(1M) and cfgdevice(8) man pages for additional information.
Chapter 4 Domain Configuration
59
Backup and Restore Operations
For domain backup and restore operations, refer to your backup software documentation for instructions. The Solaris OS documentation collection also contains information on backup and restore operations.
Dynamic Reconfiguration
Dynamic reconfiguration allows you to add or remove PSBs from system domains without stopping the Solaris OS. You can use dynamic reconfiguration to redistribute your system resources by adding or removing system boards as needed or to replace failed system boards with new ones. For more information, refer to the
Dynamic Reconfiguration User’s Guide and to the Service Manual.

About Auditing
The server logs all Service Processor events that could be relevant to security, such as system startup and shutdown, user login and logout, and privilege changes.
An audit record contains information about a single event, what caused it, the time it occurred, and other relevant information. A collection of audit records that are linked is called an audit trail. An audit trail can reveal suspicious or abnormal patterns of system behavior, in addition to identifying which user was responsible for a particular event.
Auditing is implemented through:
■
■
■
■
■
65
Audit Records
Audit records are stored in audit files on a 4-megabyte file system on the Service
Processor. You cannot change the size reserved for the audit files, but you can transfer the files manually to remote storage at any time. You can also configure auditing for automatic transfers.
Audit files are stored in binary format, although you can export them to XML.
The audit file system switches storage between two partitions. Audit records are stored in one partition until it becomes full, then new records are stored in the other partition. Records in a full partition can be moved to a remote location, according to the audit policy.
If audit policy or network problems impede remote storage, the system generates an alarm. You can clear space by manually transferring the files to remote storage or by deleting them. Until you clear space, new records are dropped.
Because local space is limited to 4 megabytes, the partitions fill up quickly. If you do not configure audit policy to automatically transfer files to remote storage, you will have to intervene frequently or begin to drop records. If you are unable to maintain consistent audit trails, the utility of the audit system is limited. Typically, you either set up sufficient remote space and automatic transfers or disable the audit capability.
Audit Events
Audit events are:
■
Changes to the Service Processor configuration, for example, an IP address change
■
■
■
■
■
Any request to perform an operation on an object protected by the access control policy
All use of authentication
Tests of password strength, for example, tests done by the password command to check whether a password contains enough non alphabetical characters
Modifications to the access control attributes associated with an object, for example, changes to controls on which domains a board might be in
Changes made to user security attributes, for example, password or privileges
■
■
■
■
■
Reading information from the audit records (including unsuccessful attempts)
Modifications to the audit policy
Actions taken due to the exceeding of a audit trail size threshold
Actions taken due to audit storage failure
Modifications made by administrators to the audit trail
66
SPARC Enterprise Mx000 Servers Administration Guide • November 2007
■
Changes to the time
The minimum data recorded for each event includes:
■
■
■
■
Date and time of the event
Type of event
Who caused the event
Outcome of the event (success or failure)
Audit Classes
Audit classes are categories for grouping and sorting audit events. The server provides a predefined set of audit classes, for example, log-in events and servicerelated events. You cannot define additional audit classes or change the events in a class. Refer to the setaudit(8) man page for a list of audit classes.
Audit Policy
Audit policy determines how the auditing feature is implemented at your site. You can configure the following aspects of auditing:
■
■
Whether it is enabled or disabled
Types of event that are audited
■
■
■
■
Which users have their events audited
Remote directories for storing audit records
Threshold of local capacity at which a warning is issued
Action when both audit partitions are full
The default audit policy is as follows:
■
Auditing is enabled
■
■
Records are dropped and counted when the audit trail is full
All events are enabled for auditing
■
■
■
■
Global user audit policy is set to enabled
Per-user audit policy for all users is set to default (that is, enabled)
Audit warning thresholds are set at 80 percent and 100 percent full
Email warnings are disabled

About Log Archiving
The persistent storage space on a Service Processor is limited. A portion of this space is set aside for logs, such as audit logs and error logs. Due to the limited space, some logs can grow to the point where old log entries must be overwritten or deleted.
These sections provide details on log archiving:
■
Using the Log Archiving Facility

■
■
Using the Log Archiving Facility
Log archiving increases the storage space available for logs on the Service Processor by transferring and storing log data on a server known as the archive host.
71
All connections established through log archiving are encrypted. The log archiving feature provides the ability to use an RSA public key to authenticate the archive host. You manage this public key on the Service Processor.
By default, log archiving is disabled. To use log archiving, you set up an archive host, and then enable log archiving on the Service Processor.
When enabled, log archiving periodically uses the secure copy program (scp) to transfer new log data to the archive host. Log archiving uses ssh to monitor the disk space consumed by archives. It deletes old archives when necessary, so that the space consumed by the archives will never exceed user-configurable archive space limits. However, for security reasons, log archiving does not automatically delete audit log archives. You can manually delete audit log archives that are no longer needed.

As shown in
(1) Before enabling log archiving, create an archive directory on the archive host.
There should be a separate archive directory for each system that uses the archive host. The directory permissions should be set so that only authorized users can access its contents.
(2) You configure the log archiving feature.
(3) As new data accumulates in logs, log archiving polls log files at fixed intervals to determine when new data needs to be archived.
(4) Log archiving uses scp to transfer log data to the archive host. It uses ssh to manage the logs which it previously copied.
Chapter 6 Log Archiving Facility
73
Archive Host Requirements
As the Service Processor keeps track of archive space on the archive host, you should not store other files in these archive directories.
It is possible to set up the Service Processor so that it uses one of the domains in the same system as an archive host. However, this configuration does not provide optimal reliability and serviceability. Typically, a separate, remote server functions as the archive host.
Log Archiving Errors
The log archiving system handles typical errors by retrying and recording errors in the Event Log. Possible error causes include archive host downtime, network outages, and misconfiguration of the Service Processor and/or the archive host. You can use the showarchiving command to view the details of the last ten archiving failures, including the first 1000 characters of output from any command that failed.
Using the snapshot Tool
Log data can also be collected and transferred from the Service Processor with the snapshot command. The snapshot tool does not extend or replace any other functionality, such as log archiving or logging of information using syslog. Refer to the snapshot(8) man page for details on this tool.
Solaris OS Procedures for Log Archiving
▼ To Configure the Log Archive Host
1. Select a user account on the server that will be used as the archive host that the
Service Processor will use to log in.
2. Log in to the archive host and create an archive directory.
3. Set the permissions of the archive directory as desired. The Service Processor
log-in account must have read, write, and execute (rwx) permissions.

Capacity on Demand
This chapter describes how to manage system resources with the Capacity on
Demand (COD) feature of your server.
Note –
The COD feature is available only on high-end servers and those midrange servers designated as COD models. If you have a midrange server that is not a COD model, the information in this section does not apply.
This chapter contains these sections:
■
■
■
XSCF Shell Procedures for Using COD
For information on ordering and purchasing COD licenses, refer to the COD User’s
Guide for your server.
About Capacity on Demand
Capacity on Demand is an option that allows you to purchase spare processing resources (CPUs) for your server. The spare resources are provided in the form of one or more CPUs on COD boards that are installed on your server.
However, to access these COD CPUs, you must first purchase the COD right-to-use
(RTU) licenses for them. Under certain conditions, you can use COD boards before entering the license information.
Note –
The term COD board refers to a COD system board in a high-end server, and to a single-board COD model midrange server.
77
These sections provide details:

COD Boards
A COD board is a system board that has been configured at the factory for COD capability. COD boards come in the same configurations as standard system boards.
The number of CPUs per COD board depends on the configuration of your server.
COD boards are subject to the same limitations for mixed architectures and CPU speeds as system boards. Likewise, COD board software requirements, such as the
Solaris OS or OpenBoot PROM version, are the same as those of system boards. Your server can have any combination of COD and system boards. It can even be configured entirely with COD boards.
Once a COD board has been licensed, you can configure it into domains in the same way as a system board. Until it has been activated (using licenses or headroom), however, you cannot configure it into a domain.
COD boards are identified by a special field-replaceable unit (FRU) ID and by a
COD label. Except for their FRU ID, label, and COD capability, once COD boards are licensed, they are handled by the rest of the hardware and software in exactly the same way as system boards. COD boards fully support dynamic reconfiguration operations.
You can order COD boards either when you order your server, in which case they arrive already installed, or as an option. The SPARC Enterprise M4000 and M5000 servers cannot add option COD boards after shipment from the factory; COD capability for these two servers must be ordered with the server.
For more information about COD boards and replacing COD boards (fieldreplaceable units, or FRUs) in your server, see the COD User’s Guide and the Service
Manual.
78
SPARC Enterprise Mx000 Servers Administration Guide • November 2007
COD License Purchase
The purchase of a COD RTU license entitles you to receive a license key, which enables the appropriate number of COD processors. A license key can grant access to multiple RTUs.
A COD license is assigned to a specific server, one license per processor (CPU). All the licenses assigned to a server are handled as a floating pool of licenses for all the
COD processors installed on that server. For example, if you have a server with two
COD boards with four processors each, but you will only use six of those processors, all you need is six licenses. Those six licenses can be used by all eight processors, but only six at a time.
At least 50 license keys can be installed on a your server. A COD license has no expiration date.
A COD license can be used by any COD processor on the server. However, the license cannot be moved from one server to another. If COD processors are moved to another server, the license becomes invalid.
License Installation
A license key is comprised of text lines, which can be added to the COD license database. A single license key can grant access to multiple RTUs, as specified when the key is generated.
After you purchase a license, you must install the license keys in the COD license database. The license database is stored in nonvolatile memory on the Service
Processor. In a system with more than one Service Processor, failover of the COD license database is supported. COD locks its license keys to the individual Chassis
HostID of the system.
Note –
In case the license database is lost or corrupted, make sure you keep copies of your licenses and license keys.
Chapter 7 Capacity on Demand
79
One way to preserve copies of your licenses and license keys is to save the output of the showcodlicense -v command. You can cut-and-paste the this output to restore any lost license keys. For example:
XSCF> showcodlicense -v

To restore lost licenses, enter a command similar to the following for each lost license:
XSCF> addcodlicense
01:803a9241:000000002:0301010100:3:00000000:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
License Allocation
The XSCF firmware allocates COD licenses automatically on a first-come, firstserved basis. However, you can reserve licenses if you want to make sure a specific number of COD licenses are allocated to a particular domain.
Licenses are allocated to COD resources either when a domain with a COD board is powered on or when a new COD board is installed and powered on.
At board power on, the Service Processor determines which processing resources are in working order and requests licenses for them. The XSCF firmware checks its license database and current usage, determines which boards are COD boards, and allocates licenses to their resources. It then tells the Service Processor which resources to configure into the domain.
The Service Processor configures only the COD resources approved by the XSCF firmware. Any COD resource that remains unlicensed is not configured into the domain and is assigned a COD-disabled status.
When you remove a COD board from a domain through a reconfiguration operation, when a domain containing a COD board is shut down normally, or when the Service
Processor detects a fault and unconfigures a board from the domain, the COD licenses for the resources on those boards are released and added to the pool of available licenses.
License allocation does not change during a Service Processor reboot or failover. All licenses remain allocated to their resources.
80
SPARC Enterprise Mx000 Servers Administration Guide • November 2007
You can reserve COD licenses for specific domains by using the setcod command.
After power on, reserved licenses are first allocated to their domains, and then remaining licenses are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis to the remaining resources. When a domain is powered off, the reverse happens: first the unreserved licenses are released to the pool, then the reserved licenses are released.
For example, assume your server had 10 COD licenses and you reserved them for these domains:
PROC RTUs reserved for domain 0: 4
PROC RTUs reserved for domain 1: 2
PROC RTUs reserved for domain 2: 0
PROC RTUs reserved for domain 3: 0
When the domains were first powered on, four licenses would be assigned to domain 0 and two licenses to domain 1. The remaining four licenses would be available on a first-come, first-served basis to all four domains (0, 1, 2, and 3).
Headroom Management
Caution –
Before using headroom, be sure to read and understand the relevant topics in the SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 Capacity on Demand
(COD) User’s Guide.
Headroom is the capability to use up to four COD processors per server before entering the license information.
By default, COD resources arrive with headroom disabled. You can use the setcod command to establish it. However, if all your COD resources are already licensed, configuring headroom will have no effect. In that case, you need to install additional
COD boards to retain your headroom capacity. You can also reduce or disable headroom at any time.
While headroom is in use, warning messages appear on the console every four hours. Once you either deactivate the COD board or obtain a license for the resources and enter the license keys, the warning messages stop. When a license key is added, the headroom is automatically reduced by the quantity provided by the license key.
Chapter 7 Capacity on Demand
81
License Violations
A license violation occurs if more resources are in use than are currently licensed on the server. These events can cause a license violation:
■
The license database is lost or corrupted while the system is running. This state is detected on the subsequent reboot.
■
This situation can be remedied by reentering the missing license keys, using the addcodlicense command.
You delete COD licenses with the force option (deletecodlicense -f) while the server is still using those licenses.
This could be a valid action in certain cases. For example, you might want to delete unwanted COD licenses, but want to delay shutting down the domain.
■
You disable headroom while the server is still using those resources.
Once the system detects a license violation, the Service Processor will post a notice on the server console and ensure that no additional COD resources are brought online until the violation is corrected. In the meantime, it will not shut down domains or COD resources.

SPARC Enterprise Mx000 Servers Administration Guide • November 2007
▼ To Install a COD License
This procedure installs a COD license and, if headroom is enabled, decreases headroom to compensate for each new license. This automatic reduction in headroom is designed to avoid accidental abuse of headroom. You can increase headroom again manually after installing the COD license. See
Decrease Headroom” on page 85 .
1. Log in to the XSCF console with platadm privileges.
2. Type the addcodlicense command:
XSCF> addcodlicense
license-signature
where license-signature is the complete COD license key. For example:
XSCF> addcodlicense \
01:84000000:104:0301010100:3:00000000:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
3. Verify that the license key was added to the license database by typing the
showcodlicense -r
command.
The COD RTU license key that you added should be listed in the showcodlicense output. See
“To Display COD License Status” on page 87
.
▼ To Delete a COD License
Before deleting a license, the XSCF firmware determines whether sufficient licenses are available from the pool of installed licenses plus headroom. If all licenses are in use and no headroom is available, the operation will fail. You can force the operation by using the -f option in
Step 3 , but doing so will overcommit any license
reservations that might be in effect.
1. Log in to the XSCF console with platadm privileges.
2. Verify that you have enough licenses or headroom to cover COD resources currently in use.
Use the showcodlicense command, as described in
If you do not have sufficient licenses or headroom to compensate, power off one or more domains or disconnect the appropriate number of boards.
3. Type the deletecodlicense command:
XSCF> deletecodlicense
license-signature
Chapter 7 Capacity on Demand
83
where license-signature is the complete COD license key.
4. Verify that the license key was removed from the license database by typing
the showcodlicense -r command.
The COD RTU license key that you deleted should not be listed in the showcodlicense output. See
“To Display COD License Status” on page 87
.
▼ To Reserve Licenses for Allocation
You need to reserve licenses only if you want to make sure a specific number of
COD licenses are allocated to a particular domain.
1. Log in to the XSCF console with platadm privileges.
2. Type the setcod command.
You can use one of two methods, as follows.
■
Use setcod command with the -d domain_id and the license_quantity options:
XSCF> setcod -d
domain_id license_quantity
For example:
XSCF> setcod -d 1 4
■
Use the setcod command with no options.
This option allows you to reserve licenses for all domains at once. First, the number of available licenses (8 in the example below) and the headroom quantity prompt are displayed:
XSCF> setcod
COD

PROC RTUs installed: 8
PROC Headroom Quantity (0 to disable, 4 MAX) [0]:
a. Enter a headroom number or press Return to leave the headroom unchanged.
The following prompts are displayed, in order:
PROC RTUs reserved for domain 0 (6 MAX) [0]:
PROC RTUs reserved for domain 1 (6 MAX) [2]:
PROC RTUs reserved for domain 2 (4 MAX) [0]:
PROC RTUs reserved for domain 3 (4 MAX) [0]:
84
SPARC Enterprise Mx000 Servers Administration Guide • November 2007
b. Enter the number of licenses reserved for each domain.
The currently reserved number appear in parentheses. Do not exceed the number of available licenses. To leave a reservation unchanged, press Return.
3. Verify the allocation with the showcod command.
▼ To Increase or Decrease Headroom
1. Log in to the XSCF console with platadm privileges.
2. Type the setcod command.
■
You can use one of two methods, as follows.
Use setcod command with the headroom option:
XSCF> setcod
headroom
where headroom can be a number from 1 to 4. For example:
XSCF> setcod 4
■
Use the setcod command with no options.
If you are not sure of the headroom that is available, enter the setcod command with no options; the output displays the number of available licenses and the current headroom quantity (a number from 0 to 4).
XSCF> setcod

PROC RTUs installed: 8
PROC Headroom Quantity (0 to disable, 4 MAX) [0]:4
WARNING: Using headroom requires you to install license key(s) within 30 days. Do you agree? [y|n]: y
You are prompted to enter the headroom number. Press Return when finished.
Chapter 7 Capacity on Demand
85
3. Verify the headroom quantity is correct by typing the showcod command.
For example, if you entered 4 as the headroom number, the output would be similar to:
XSCF> showcod
Chassis HostID: 80d88800
PROC RTUs installed: 8
PROC Headroom Quantity: 4
...
▼ To Disable Headroom
1. Log in to the XSCF console with platadm privileges.
2. Type the setcod command and a headroom number of zero:
XSCF> setcod 0
3. Verify that the headroom is disabled by typing the showcod command.
For example:
XSCF> setcod 0
XSCF> showcod
Chassis HostID: 80d88800
PROC RTUs installed: 8
PROC Headroom Quantity: 0
...
▼ To Display COD Information
1. Log in to the XSCF console with platadm, platop, domainadm, or domainop
privileges, or domainmgr privileges for a specific domain.
86

1. Log in to the XSCF console with platadm or platop privileges, or domainadm, domainop
, or domainmgr privileges for a specific domain.
2. Type the showcodusage command.
The output displays a summary of license usage by resource type and for each domain. For example:
XSCF> showcodusage
Resource In Use Installed Licensed Status
-------- ------ --------- -------- ------
PROC 0 4 0 OK: 0 available
Domain/Resource In Use Installed Reserved
--------------- ------ --------- --------
0 - PROC 0 4 0
1 - PROC 0 0 0
2 - PROC 0 0 0
3 - PROC 0 0 0
Unused - PROC 0 0 0
To display usage statistics only for domains or resources, use the showcodusage -p domain command or the showcodusage -p resource command. All COD usage information can be displayed with the showcodusage -p all command.
You can also use the showboards command to identify which board is a COD board. The output from this command has a column titled “COD”. This column contains an “n” for a non-COD board or a “y” for a COD board. For example:
XSCF> showboards -v -a

Mapping Device Path Names
This appendix describes how to map device path names to physical system devices.
It contains these sections:

Device Mapping and Logical System Board Numbers
Device Mapping and Logical System
Board Numbers
The physical address represents a physical characteristic that is unique to the device.
Examples of physical addresses include the bus address and the slot number. The slot number indicates where the device is installed.
The logical system board (LSB) number affects both the processor numbering and the I/O device paths in the server. Physical resources are assigned to LSBs in the specified domain using the setdcl command. It is the LSB numbers that the Solaris
OS uses.
CPU Mapping
Each LSB has a bank of 32 processor numbers assigned to it. Each processor has two cores, and each core has two strands.
91
An LSB has four processors as a maximum (when a Uni-XSB is assigned to the LSB); therefore, an LSB needs 16 processor IDs. Note that 32 IDs are assigned for future expansion.
shows the relationship between LSB numbers and starting processor (proc) numbers, in hexidecimal/decimal format. The Solaris prtdiag command provides the LSB numbers and CPU chip numbers in decimal format for components that are part of the domain.

I/O Device Mapping
I/O device paths are dictated by which LSB the I/O unit is assigned to.
The M4000 and M5000 servers have only one I/O controller on the I/O unit (IOU).
For an XSB in Uni-XSB mode, all I/O is on XSB#xx-0. For an XSB in Quad-XSB mode, internal resources, the PCI-X slot, and two PCIe slots are on XSB#xx-0, and two PCIe slots are on XSB#xx-1.
The M8000 and M9000 servers have two I/O controllers; therefore, each XSB can have two PCIe slots assigned to it.

Glossary
audit
The collection of data about the use of system resources. Auditing provides a record of security-related system events.
audit class
A grouping of audit events. Audit classes provide a way to select a group of events to audit.
audit event
A security-related system action that is audited. Events are grouped into classes.
audit file
An audit log where audit records are stored.
audit policy
A set of auditing options that an administrator can enable or disable. These options include which events will be recorded and whether to record certain kinds of audit data. The options also include whether to suspend audible actions when the audit trail is full.
audit record
Audit data that is stored in an audit file. An audit record describes a single audit event. Each audit record is composed of audit tokens.
audit trail
A set of audit logs that have been recorded by the server. The audit trail can be analyzed with the use of audit tools.
authentication
A method by which a server validates and authorizes a user or function to access or use the server.
authorization
The ability to perform an operation, act, or function with a computer resource
(for example, run, modify, or show).
The means by which the ability is explicitly enabled or restricted in some way.
Capacity on Demand
(COD)
An option that provides additional CPU processing resources when needed.
These additional CPUs are provided on COD CPU boards that are installed in the server. To access the COD CPUs, you must purchase the COD right-to use
(RTU) licenses for them.
COD
See Capacity on Demand (COD).
103
domain
A set of one or more system boards that acts as a separate system capable of booting the operating system and running an operating system independently of any other domains. Domains that share a system are characteristically independent of each other.
Each domain is based on the logical system board that is assigned to it.
Further, each domain is electrically isolated into hardware partitions, which ensures that any failure in one domain does not affect the other domains in the server.
Domain - SP
Communication
Protocol (DSCP)
Protocol which provides a user-level to user-level TCP/IP sockets type communication between the Service Processor and a domain. This communication occurs over a mailbox type of communication provided by other software components.
DSCP
See Domain - SP Communication Protocol (DSCP).
dynamic reconfiguration (DR)
Enables logical attachment and detachment of system boards to and from the system without causing system downtime. This is the process of physically installing or removing a system board while the Solaris OS is running.
Enables boards to be electrically isolated (deleteboard) from a domain so they can be physically removed from the system or added to a different domain; or to be electrically reattached (addboard) so they can be inserted into a running server or assigned to a different domain.
environmental monitoring
The monitoring done through a large number of sensors that monitor temperature, voltage, and current. The Service Processor software polls devices in a timely manner and makes the environmental data available. The Service
Processor shuts down various components to prevent damage.
eXtended system board
(XSB)
eXtended System Board combines the hardware resources of a physical system board. The SPARC Enterprise servers can generate one or four XSB(s) from one physical system board: Uni-XSB and Quad-XSB.
eXtended System
Control Facility
(XSCF)
The software that runs on the Service Processor and provides control and monitoring functions for the system platform.
failover
Process by which the active Service Processor transfers control to the standby
Service Processor or the standby Service Processor takes control over from the active Service Processor. In either case, the previously standby Service
Processor becomes the active and the active Service Processor becomes the standby.
104
SPARC Enterprise Mx000 Servers Administration Guide • November 2007
field-replaceable unit
(FRU)
A part that can be replaced by field engineers when servicing the server.
FRU
See field-replaceable unit (FRU).
hostid
Unique system identifier.
I/O unit
(IOU)
The I/O unit, which is common to midrange and high-end servers, monitors
I/O events and supports PCIe. Further, the midrange server supports PCI-X cards. The PCI cards must first be inserted in a PCI cassette. The I/O unit for the midrange servers supports up to five PCI cassettes: four PCIe cassettes
(upper four slots) and one PCI-X cassette (lowest slot).
Lightweight Directory
Access Protocol
(LDAP)
Protocol for accessing information directories. LDAP is based on the standards contained within the X.500 standard, but is significantly simpler.
log
File containing a record of system activity.
log archive
Repository for log files.
logical system board
(LSB)
The unit of grouping for memory, CPU and I/O, which is visible to software.
The physical system board (PSB) or eXtended system board (XSB) assigned with the system board number on the domain is recognized as the logical system board. One domain consists of a maximum of 16 logical system boards.
These can be a combination of XSBs and PSBs.
LSB
See logical system board (LSB).
privileges
Specific permissions granted to users who belong to assigned groups.
