System Controller Alphabetical
Command Reference
This chapter describes system controller command line interface, command syntax, and command arguments. It provides, in tabular form, a summary of all of the system controller commands. It also provides complete descriptions and examples for each system controller command.
System Controller Syntax, Command
Names, Command Arguments, and
Comments
Command Syntax
The general syntax of system controller commands is: command_name [option flags] [ arguments ]
Note – The system controller commands can be partially typed if what is typed is enough to make the command unique.
17
Command Names
Most system controller commands are in the form of verbnoun. Command names are in the English language. System controller commands are case insensitive.
Command Arguments
■
■
■
■
Some system controller commands have arguments and some system controller commands do not have arguments. Depending on the command, some arguments are followed by flags and others are not. A few examples include: help help -v showboards sb0 showboards -v sb0
Device Names

Certain components on the board have failed or are disabled. A board is in degraded mode when there are still usable parts on the board.
The slot is empty or not applicable for this device.
Comments
You can separate system controller commands with a semicolon (;) on the same line.
For example: schostname : SC> addboard -d a sb2;deleteboard sb3
In the previous example, both the addboard and deleteboard commands are executed.
A pound sign ( # ) signifies the start of a comment on the current line. For example: schostname : SC> addboard -d a sb2 #this text is ignored
In the previous example, the addboard command is executed. Everything you type after the # and before pressing the Return key is ignored.
20 Sun Fire 6800/4810/4800/3800 System Controller Command Reference Manual • April 2001
If you type the following line, board sb2 is added to domain A and the deleteboard command is not executed.
schostname : SC> addboard -d a sb2 # deleteboard sb2
Another example of the pound sign (#) signifying the start of a comment at the beginning of a command line is: schostname : SC> # this text is ignored
Clearing an Entry
You use the dash ( - ) to clear the entry in a command.
System Controller Command Summary
lists and describes the system controller commands and how you can access them. Many commands are accessible from both the platform shell and the domain shell.

Alphabetical Listing of System
Controller Commands
The following sections describe the system controller commands.
addboard
Assigns a board or a slot to a domain.
Scope platform shell, domain shell
Syntax addboard -d domainID system_board_name [ system_board_name . . .
] addboard -h
Options/Parameters
-h displays help for this command.
system_board_name is the board to be added. Possible values for system_board_name are sb0 – sb5 (CPU/Memory board) or ib6 ib9 (I/O assembly).
-d domainID is the domain where the board will be added. The domainID is a, b, c, or d.
Chapter 2 System Controller Alphabetical Command Reference 25
Description
Assigns system_board_name to the specified domain within the platform shell or to the current domain. The board state must be Available. To display the board states, use the showboards
command. For more information on board states, see “Board
In order to assign a board to a domain, the board name must be listed in the Access
Control List (ACL) for domain shells. When a board is listed in the ACL, the system controller software is allowed to process addboard requests on that board.
The Access Control List (ACL) is ignored in the platform shell. The platform shell always has permission to add or delete boards. Even if a board is not in the domain’s ACL, when you type the addboard command from the platform shell, this overrides the ACL.
If a board is not present, the command assigns ownership of the slot to the specified domain.
See Also
deleteboard, setupplatform, showboards ,
and Sun Fire 6800/4810/4800/3800 Systems Platform Administration Manual (for a stepby-step procedure on assigning boards to a domain).
Example—Platform Shell
To add board name sb2 to domain A, type:
CODE EXAMPLE 2-1 addboard Example in the Platform Shell schostname : SC> addboard -d a sb2
Although a message is sent to the Solaris operating environment about a new board being added, there is not a client in the Solaris operating environment that reads these messages. Therefore, these messages will not be seem by the Solaris operating environment.
26 Sun Fire 6800/4810/4800/3800 System Controller Command Reference Manual • April 2001
Example—Domain Shell
To add board name sb2 to the current domain, type:
CODE EXAMPLE 2-2 addboard Example in the Domain Shell schostname : A> addboard sb2
If you cannot assign a board to a domain in the domain shell, this is most likely because the board is not listed in the ACL. See the “Description“ section for more information. Another possibility is that the domain is currently in use. An error message will tell you the reason why you can not perform the operation.
Chapter 2 System Controller Alphabetical Command Reference 27
break
Sends a break signal to the domain console.
Scope domain shell
Syntax break [-y|-n] break -h
Options/Parameters
-h displays help for this command.
-y answers yes to the warning message. Does not prompt for confirmation.
-n answers no to the warning message. Does not execute this command if confirmation is requested.
Description
Sends a Break signal to the domain console.
Note – This command pauses the Solaris operating environment.
When the Solaris operating environment is running in the domain, the usual effect of the break signal is to force entry into OpenBoot PROM or the debugger. The Solaris operating environment will ignore the break signal if the keyswitch is set to secure.

38 Sun Fire 6800/4810/4800/3800 System Controller Command Reference Manual • April 2001
Description
This command adds a component to the blacklist. Blacklisting provides a list of system board components that will not be tested and will not be configured into the domain when you change the domain’s keyswitch from an inactive state to an active state or when the domain is rebooted.
The blacklists are stored in non-volatile memory. Blacklist a component or device if you believe it may be failing intermittently.
■
■
■
■
■
Devices can be the following (see
and
CPU ports (CPU processors)
Physical and logical memory banks
I/O ports
I/O buses
I/O cards
The platform shell blacklists supersede the domain shell blacklists. For example, if a component is disabled in the platform shell, it will always be disabled in all domains.
Blacklisting from the platform shell applies to all domains. Blacklisting in a domain applies only to the current domain. If you disable a component in a domain and then move the component to another domain, the component is not disabled.

-f specifies the URL, which can only be ftp . For example: ftp:// userid : password @ host / path ftp:// host / path
Note – The hostname you enter must be a complete host name (not a partial one).
Note – The directory specified in the URL path must have write permission, including user access. Also, make sure that the data files are present in the URL.
Chapter 2 System Controller Alphabetical Command Reference 43
Description
Use this command after you complete the initial configuration of the platform and the domains. This command saves the system controller configuration to a server.
The data files include schostname .nvci
and schostname.
tod .
Caution – Run this command when you change platform or domain configurations.
For more information, see the following bulleted list of system controller commands that change the configuration. Also, run this command whenever you change the hardware configuration.
Invoking this command is very important because if the System Controller board fails and you did not use this command to save the platform and domain configurations, you will have to manually reconfigure the platform and the domains.
■
■
■
■
■
■
■
■
■
Run the dumpconfig command again after configuration changes are made to the system controller, for example with the following system controller commands: setupdomain setupplatform setdate addboard deleteboard enablecomponent disablecomponent password setkeyswitch or whenever you change the hardware configuration. By running again this command, the new platform and domain configurations are saved to a server.
This command is intended to be used as part of the procedure in replacing a failed
System Controller board. You should not use this command to revert to an old configuration. The showplatform , showdomain , and showboards system controller commands display all of the configuration and can be used as a reference.
If you need to replace the System Controller board, this configuration information can be used to restore the platform and domain configurations to the replacement
System Controller board.

Description
Updates the flash PROMs on the System Controller board, CPU/Memory board, I/O assembly, and the port of the system controller. There are no flash PROMs on
Repeater boards.
When you update the flash images, if you can do so, make sure the images are compatible. To verify the compatibility of the versions of scapp , CPU/Memory board, and I/O assembly PROMs, use the showboards -p proms command.
There is currently no method to determine that the scapp and rtos versions are compatible. Check all versions before you upgrade with the flashupdate command. If you fail to check all versions, the domains may crash or the system controller would fail to reboot normally.

The components that can be powered off in a domain shell are:
CPU/Memory board (sb0 - sb5 )
I/O assembly (ib6 - ib9)
For the domain shell, the specified board must be in the current domain.
All slots listed by showboards can be powered off except for system controllers
(SSC0 and SSC1) and the ID board. A powered-off component will not be monitored.
Use the showboards command to display the power status of each board.
You can power off any component except when the board is in the Active state (see the showboards command to display the board state). When a component is in the
Active state, you are asked to confirm with a warning of the consequences. If a board is active, a warning is displayed on the console advising you that the entire domain will go down.
If a board is active in a domain and you forcefully power off a device (board), the keyswitch for the domain will be set to standby. To change the keyswitch setting, use the setkeyswitch command.
Repeater boards do not have an Active state. You cannot power off a Repeater board because it is being used by the domain.
If the power supplies are needed to supply power to the boards and fans, you cannot power off the power supplies. If you power off a power supply, there might be insufficient power to support the current load.
If the fan trays are needed to cool the system, you cannot power them off because powering off fan trays result in insufficient cooling of the system.

-x resets via XIR (externally initiated reset). Uses XIR to try to obtain diagnostic data
(default).
-a reset is equivalent to the OpenBoot PROM reset-all command.
-y resets even if the domain is active.
-n does not reset if the domain is active.
Description—Platform Shell
To perform software reset on the other System Controller board, use ssc1 if you are using ssc0. If you are using ssc1, use ssc0. Clock failover will be automatically enabled after the reset is complete. Messages will be displayed on the platform console.
Description—Domain Shell
Resetting the domain is not allowed if the keyswitch is in the secure, off, or standby positions.
By default, reset uses XIR (externally initiated reset) to reset the CPU processors in the domain. The externally initiated reset forces control of the domain into the
OpenBoot PROM and begins the OpenBoot PROM error reset recovery actions. The error reset recovery actions preserve most domain states to allow collecting data needed for debugging the hardware and software, including a Solaris operating environment core file. The OpenBoot PROM error reset recovery actions are controlled by setting the OpenBoot PROM error-reset-recovery configuration variable. For the definition of this variable and the various settings, see
in
Section , “ setupdomain ” on page 2-85.
You cannot reset a domain that has been paused. The domain is paused automatically when hardware detects an error. Messages on the domain console indicate that the domain is paused. To rectify this situation, turn the keyswitch off with setkeyswitch off . Then, turn the keyswitch on with setkeyswitch on .

Sets the date and time for the platform and domains. This command, when invoked from the platform, will have no effect on the date and time in each domain and vice versa. You can set up to five different times and time zones; one time and time zone for the platform and different times and time zones for each of the four domains.
If your time zone area is using daylight or summer time, this is set automatically.
Note – You cannot set the date from the system controller in a domain while the
Solaris operating environment is running. To set the date while the Solaris operating environment is running, use the Solaris operating environment date command.

Powers on and initializes the domain. The system controller brings the domain into OpenBoot PROM through POST. If the OpenBoot PROM has auto-boot?
set to true , then the Solaris operating environment boots automatically.
Changes the board state of all the boards belonging to a domain to the
Assigned board state and turns on the boards. The domain will not be initialized at system power on, but the boards that comprise the domain will be powered on.
Similar to the setkeyswitch on command except the POST verbose mode is set to on and the POST diagnostic level is set to maximum.

New Keyswitch Setting Result on on on off break and reset are not ignored.
Similar to setting the virtual keyswitch from off to on except that you do not have to wait for the system controller to turn on the boards and prepare them.
Has no effect on a running domain. This operation only changes the keyswitch position and does not perform any other function since the domain is already running.
All boards will be powered off (set to low -power mode and all monitoring of the boards will stop.
Description
Each domain has a virtual keyswitch with five positions: off, standby, on, diag, and secure. The setkeyswitch command changes the position of the virtual keyswitch to the specified value. The virtual keyswitch replaces the need for a physical keyswitch for each domain.
This command is also available in the platform shell. This command is meant to be used in the platform shell in case of problems with a domain. From the platform shell, you can only turn the virtual keyswitch off. This action shuts down the domain. Turn the keyswitch off from the domain, if possible.
If the domain is running the Solaris operating environment, the setkeyswitch command parameters off and standby require confirmation.
If the domain is already powered on, the setkeyswitch on , setkeyswitch diag , and setkeyswitch secure commands will change only the position of the virtual keyswitch. If components making up a domain such as a I/O assembly or
CPU/Memory board need to be powered on, the system attempts to power on these boards or devices also.
If a failure occurred during keyswitch transition, it will be reset to off or to standby after recovering from the failure.
The system controller maintains the position of each keyswitch even during power failures or physical power cycles.

Value
OBP.error-reset-recovery true false (default value) true (default value) false sync (default value) none boot
Description
This parameter is the same as the OpenBoot PROM nvramrc?
parameter. This parameter uses aliases that are stored in nvramrc .
The OpenBoot PROM executes the script stored in nvramr c if this parameter is set to true.
The OpenBoot PROM does not evaluate the script stored in nvramr c if this parameter is set to false.
Controls booting of the Solaris operating environment.
If this value is true, the domain boots automatically after POST has run.
If this parameter value is set to false, you will obtain the OpenBoot PROM ok prompt after POST runs, from which you must type a boot command to boot the Solaris operating environment.
Controls the behavior of the domain after an externally initiated reset (XIR) as well as a red mode trap.
The OpenBoot PROM invokes sync . A core file is generated. If the invocation returns, the OpenBoot
PROM performs a reboot.
The OpenBoot PROM prints a message describing the reset trap that triggered the error reset and passes control to the OpenBoot PROM ok prompt. The message describing the reset trap type is platform specific.
The OpenBoot PROM firmware reboots the domain.
A core file is not generated. Rebooting a domain occurs using the OpenBoot PROM settings for diag-device or boot-device , depending on the value of the OpenBoot PROM configuration variable diag-switch?
Log Host
If diag-switch?
is set to true, the device names in diag-device will be the default for boot. If diag-switch?
is set to false, the device names in boot-device will be the default for boot.

testboard
Tests the CPU/Memory board name you specify at the command line.
Scope platform shell, domain shell
Syntax testboard board_name testboard -h
Options/Parameters
-h displays help for this command.
board_name for the CPU/Memory board is SB0 – SB5 .
Description
Tests the CPU/Memory board name you specify at the command line. The board status must be either Available or Assigned and the board must be powered on. To display the board status, use the showboards command. For more information on
board status, see “Board States” on page 19. In order for the
testboard command to run, the board in a domain must be assigned to the domain and/or be in the
Access Control List (ACL). Also, sufficient Repeater boards must be powered on.
The testboard command runs tests at the levels set in the domain. Testing a
CPU/Memory board is most accurately done when it is part of a domain. It is best if the board can be tested by POST. However, if that is not possible, testing a
CPU/Memory board in the domain is the next best test.
Testing a CPU/Memory board in a domain has a very slight possibility to cause problems in the domain. If that is the case, test the board in the platform shell in order to keep it isolated from the domain.
See Also showcomponent, showboards

To test CPU/Memory board, sb0 in the domain A shell, type:
