About this book
This book describes the installation and initial configuration processes specific to the Sun
StorageTek VTL Value appliance. In VTL Value deployments, it supersedes the Sun Fire™
X4500 Server Installation Guide (819-4358-11) that ships with the X4500 platform. While the VTL Value appliance hardware is almost identical to the X4500, it has been specially preconfigured to host Virtual Tape Library software on the Solaris operating system.
Using this book
This book leads you through the process of setting up the VTL Value equipment from beginning to end, with all the needed information immediately to hand and the alternatives clearly indicated. Each chapter and section begins with a list of the tasks it contains. Tasks are presented in order, and the steps in each process are numbered, in the sequence in which they are to be performed. Conditional steps (steps that you perform only in specified circumstances) begin with the condition (“If A ...”) and end with the corresponding action
(“... do B”); if the condition does not apply, you simply skip the step. Each task ends with a reference to the next task in the sequence:
Next task: “Installing slide-rail assemblies” on page 3.
When the setup process branches, the tasks ends with conditional alternatives:
Next task:
• If the customer does not plan to run the management console from a host on the local area network (LAN), press Skip, and go to the next task.
• Otherwise, carry out the procedure “Configuring the Ethernet management interface” on page 57.
To minimize the time you spend switching between publications or major sections of the document, we have made an effort to avoid cross references to external information wherever possible. If you need to have a figure, a table, or a procedure, it should always be, at worst, on a neighboring page.
ix
The chapters are organized to reflect top-level tasks. The first chapter details the physical installation of the appliance hardware, including rack mounting, cabling, and power up procedures. The second chapter explains the initial configuration of the operating system software and network and some basic checks that should be run on a newly installed system.
Appendices provide additional information that, while not essential to a normal installation, may prove useful in special circumstances. These list the private network addresses used when installing the VTL Value appliance, provide instructions for serially connecting to the
VTL Value Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) service processor, and summarize commands that can be entered at the ILOM commandline interface (CLI).

INSTALLING THE VTL VALUE APPLIANCE IN AN EQUIPMENT RACK
▼
Obtaining required tools, personnel, and materials
1. Make sure that the selected rack meets the following specifications:
■
■
The rack has four posts, with a mounting at both front and rear (two-post racks are not compatible with the VTL Value slide-rails).
The horizontal opening and unit vertical pitch of the rack conform to ANSI/EIA
310-D-1992 or IEC 60927 standards.
■
■
■
■
The rack’s front and rear rack-mounting planes are 23-34 inches (58-87 cm) apart.
The minimum depth from the rack’s front cabinet door to the front rack-mounting plane is
1.85 inches (4.7 cm).
The minimum depth from the rear cabinet door to the front rack-mounting plane is
38 inches (96.5 cm) with the cable-management arm installed (recommended) or
31.5 inches (80.0 cm) without the cable management arm.
The minimum width between obstructions (such as structural supports and cable troughs) is 18 inches (45.6 mm) at all points between the front and rear mounting planes.
2. Make sure that the available power meets the requirements listed in the table below:

Label the hard disk drives in slots 2 to 46 and then remove them (you will reinstall the drives in their original slots using the labels as a guide).
Do not uninstall the fan trays or the bootable drives in slots 0 and 1.
6. If a mechanical lift is available, make sure that at least three people are on hand to install the server in the rack.
It takes two people to operate the lift and install the server and one additional person to insure that the rails are engaged correctly.
Next task:
“Installing slide‐rail assemblies” on page 3.
Installing slide-rail assemblies
■
■
The VTL Value slide-rail system use three-part rails. Each rail assembly consists of an outer rail that is fixed to the equipment rack, an inner rail that is fixed to the chassis of the VTL
Value appliance, and a middle rail that slides on the inner and outer rails. To install the rail assemblies, carry out the following tasks:
■
■

▼
Positioning the outer/middle rail assembly in the rack
The VTL Value appliance is four rack-units (4U) high and quite heavy, due to the number of internal storage disks installed. You must therefore position the appliance in the rack carefully. The chosen location must allow enough space for a 4U appliance while presenting the smallest possible tipping hazard. Proceed as follows.
Chapter 1 Installing VTL Value hardware
5
INSTALLING THE VTL VALUE APPLIANCE IN AN EQUIPMENT RACK
1. Before you start, select the lowest possible position in the rack, and deploy the rack’s anti-tilt bar.
A top-heavy system tips over easily. So always load equipment into a rack from the bottom up and always place the heaviest equipment as low as possible. Always use the anti-tilt bar to keep the rack from tipping during installation. See the service label on the VTL Value appliance cover and/or the label on the rack.
2. Place the paper, rack-mount template ( E below) in the selected position.
The rack-mount template ships with the slide-rail assemblies. It is the same height as the appliance (four rack-units—4U) and is marked with four arrows that show the location of the rail mounting screws. In a rack with 3 mounting holes per rack unit (as in the illustration), the template covers 12 holes.

Starting the VTL appliance
Powering up a VTL appliance is a two-step process. First, you apply standby power to bring up the Integrated Lights Out Manger (ILOM) service processor. Then you apply main power to start the VTL server and boot the Solaris operating system.
Caution – The VTL Value appliance requires 200 to 240 VAC.
▼
Powering up
Caution – Do not operate the server for longer than 60m seconds unless all fans, component heat sinks, air baffles, and covers are installed. Severe damage to server components can occur if the server is operated without adequate cooling mechanisms.

Powering down
If you need to power off the appliance, you can proceed in any of three ways, depending on the circumstances.
1. Under normal circumstances, power off the server gracefully by using a stylus to press and release the power button on the front panel.
This is the normal way you shut down the VTL server. Pressing and releasing the power button causes the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) to stop the operating system in an orderly fashion before shutting main power off. It places the system in standby power mode. The OK LED on the front panel starts blinking.
2. In an emergency, power off the server immediately by using a stylus to press and hold the power button for four seconds.
This shuts the main power off and places the system in standby power mode. The OK LED on the front panel starts blinking.
3. Then, if you need to power off the appliance completely, so that neither the server nor the service processor draws power, unplug the AC power cords from the power supplies at the rear of the server.
The OK LED on the front panel is not lighted.

Setting up the VTL Value ILOM service processor
■
■
■
The Sun StorageTek VTL Value appliance is implemented on a Sun Fire X4500 server platform that has been specially configured for tape virtualization. Much of the configuration of the base X4500 server has already been done at the factory. You merely need to set the IP address of the VTL Value Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) service processor. This chapter covers the following tasks:
“Understanding the ILOM” on page 25
“Changing the IP address of the ILOM SP” on page 26
“Changing the ILOM password” on page 29
■
“Checking the health of the internal storage systems” on page 30.
316196101 • A
Understanding the ILOM
The Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) is a service processor that supports operating-system independent management interfaces and applications for the Sun
StorageTek VTL Value appliance.
The core of the system is the Graphics Redirect and Service Processor (GRASP) hardware.
The GRASP monitors the status and configuration of field-replaceable VTL Value components, including fans, disk drives, and power supplies. It also provides the physical, serial and Ethernet management interfaces to the VTL Value system.
GRASP firmware provides a suite of management applications that run independent of the operating system and CPU:
■
A server-side Secure Shell (ssh) implementation supports encrypted remote login.
■
A commandline interface (CLI) supports serial access to the system.
25
CHANGING THE IP ADDRESS OF THE ILOM SP
■
■
A Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) interface supports network management using SNMP versions 1, 2c, or 3.
A web server supports Remote Console operations. The server provides a browseraccessible ILOM graphical user interface (GUI) and supports VTL Value console redirection. By downloading a Java application from the ILOM web interface, users can access the Solaris desktop on a remote VTL Value appliance using a local keyboard, monitor, and mouse.
Changing the IP address of the ILOM SP
The ILOM Ethernet management interface of the VTL appliance ships preconfigured with a private IP address. To complete the VTL hardware-installation process, you must change this private IP address to a customer specified address on the customer’s local area network
(LAN). This section explains:

Changing the IP address of the ILOM
▼
Attaching a laptop to the ILOM via the VTL private network
The VTL Value server incorporates a service processor running the Sun Integrated Lights
Out Management (ILOM) interface. ILOM is a Java-based remote management tool that can export the Solaris desktop from a VTL Value server to a browser running on another computer. VTL Value servers come preconfigured with a temporary IP address that is located on a private subnet. To connect a laptop to the server, you simply join the private subnet by setting your laptop’s IP address, attach a network cable, and open a web browser to the VTL
Value server’s ILOM address. This section describes the procedure in detail.
1. On your laptop, configure your local area network (LAN) connection using the IP
address 10.0.0.77.
The recommended address is on the private, 10.0.0.0 subnet used internally by the VTL
2. Connect the LAN port of the laptop to the Ethernet management (NETMGT) port on the
VTL server (
A below) using either of the following:
■
an Ethernet crossover cable

Connecting to ILOM via a serial port
Normally, you access the Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) service processor of a VTL
Value appliance via the preconfigured Ethernet management port (NETMGT) and the ILOM graphical user interface (GUI). However, if network services are not available, you can still access the ILOM commandline interface (CLI) by connecting a terminal or a computer running terminal emulation software to the RJ-45 serial port on the back panel of the VTL
Value appliance.
1. Configure the terminal device or the terminal emulation software for
■
■
■
■ eight data bits, no parity, one stop bit
9600 baud no hardware flow control (CTS/RTS) no software flow control (XON/XOFF)
2. Connect an RJ-45 serial cable from the terminal device to the SER MGT port on the
back panel of the VTL appliance ( A below).
316196101 • A
A
3. Press Enter on the terminal device.
This establishes the connection between the terminal device and the ILOM.
43
Note – If you connect a terminal or emulator to the serial port before it has been powered up or during its power-up sequence, you will see bootup messages.
When the system has booted, the ILOM displays its login prompt:
SUNSP nnnnnnnnnn login:
The first string in the prompt is the default host name. It consists of the prefix SUNSP and the ILOM’s MAC address.
4. Log in to the CLI as root and enter the root password.
When you have successfully logged in, the SP displays the ILOM default command prompt:
->
The ILOM is now accessing the CLI. You can now run CLI commands.
For example, to display status information about the motherboard in your server, type the following command:
-> show /SYS/MB
Use the ILOM commands to configure the server’s user accounts, network settings, access lists, alerts, and so on. For detailed instructions on CLI commands, see the Integrated Lights
Out Manager (ILOM) Administration Guide, 819-1160.
5. To go to the host serial console (host COM0), type the following commands:
cd /SP/console
-> start
Note – After you have returned to the serial console, to switch back to the CLI, enter the
Escape
and left parenthesis [ ( ] key in rapid succession.

If you need to power off the appliance, you can proceed in any of three ways, depending on the circumstances.
1. Under normal circumstances, power off the server gracefully by using a stylus to press and release the power button on the front panel.
This is the normal way you shut down the VTL server. Pressing and releasing the power button causes the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) to stop the operating system in an orderly fashion before shutting main power off. It places the system in standby power mode. The OK LED on the front panel starts blinking.
2. In an emergency, power off the server immediately by using a stylus to press and hold the power button for four seconds.
This shuts the main power off and places the system in standby power mode. The OK LED on the front panel starts blinking.
3. Then, if you need to power off the appliance completely, so that neither the server nor the service processor draws power, unplug the AC power cords from the power supplies at the rear of the server.
The OK LED on the front panel is not lighted.

Preparing to remove the appliance
1. If you have not already done so, shutdown main (server) and standby (service
processor) power, as described in “Shutting off system power” on page 49.
2. If you have not already done so, remove the cable management arm (CMA), as
described in “Removing the cable management arm” on page 50.
3. Have a mechanical lift on hand, if at all possible.
Caution – The VTL Value appliance weighs 160 pounds (72.7 kg) when fully loaded with components. To prevent injury to personnel or damage to the equipment, Sun strongly recommends using a mechanical lift when installing the server in a rack.
4. If a mechanical lift is not available, make sure that at least four trained people are available to remove the server and/or reduce the weight of the server by removing components:

Remove both power supplies.
Remove the system controller.
Label the hard disk drives in slots 2 to 46 and then remove them (you will reinstall the drives in their original slots using the labels as a guide).
Do not uninstall the fan trays or the bootable drives in slots 0 and 1.
5. If a mechanical lift is available, make sure that at least three trained people are available to install the server in the rack.
It takes two people to operate the lift and install the server and one additional person to insure that the rails are engaged correctly.

Frequently asked questions
The installation guide provides detailed steps for installing the appliance in a rack, including preparing the slide-rail assemblies, attaching the inner rails to the server chassis, positioning the outer/middle rail assembly in the rack, attaching the outer/middle rail assembly to the rack, and adjusting and securing middle/outer slide rails.
You need to connect power cords, Ethernet LAN cables, and Fibre Channel SAN cables. The guide provides instructions for routing and connecting these cables.
To power up the appliance, you need to apply standby power to bring up the Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) service processor and then apply main power to start the VTL server and boot the Solaris operating system. The guide provides step-by-step instructions for powering up and down the appliance.
The guide explains how to change the IP address of the ILOM SP, change the ILOM password, and check the health of the internal storage systems.
