• Powering on the entire E10K

Powering off individual domains

1. Connect to the correct domain

   1. Login to ssp as ssp and enter ${domain_name} at the Please enter SUNW_HOSTNAME: prompt.

   2. If already logged into the ssp, enter domain_switch ${domain_name} in a command window.

2. ID proper domain boards by executing domain_status and noting the board numbers under the heading SYSBDS:

   ${SSP}:${Domain}% domain_status
   DOMAIN          TYPE                     PLATFORM       OS     SYSBDS
   domain1         Ultra-Enterprise-10000   Plat_name      2.6    4 5
   domain2         Ultra-Enterprise-10000   Plat_name      2.6    0 1
   domain3         Ultra-Enterprise-10000   Plat_name      2.6    3
   domain4         Ultra-Enterprise-10000   Plat_name      2.6    6 8
   domain5         Ultra-Enterprise-10000   Plat_name      2.6    9 10
   

3. Bring the domain down.

   1. Open another command window, issue domain_switch if necessary.

   2. Execute netcon to start up the domain console.

   3. Log in as root.

   4. Execute sync;sync;sync;init 0

   5. Once the system is at the OK prompt, continue.

4. In the first command window, enter power -off -sb ${brd_numbers[*]}. Board numbers are listed together with space separators.

Powering off the entire E10K

1. Bring down all E10K domains:

   1. Open a command window.

   2. Issue domain_switch ${domain_name} to connect to the correct domain.

   3. Issue netcon to open the domain console.

   4. Log in as root.

   5. Execute sync;sync;sync;init 0

   6. Once the domain is at the OK prompt, exit the netconsole by issuing ~. (Press/hold tilde while pressing period).

   7. Iterate through the above until all domains are down.

2. Open a command window on shamash and enter power -B -off -all. When the command completes, you will hear the power switches changing position in the E10K cabinet.

3. Power off the SSP:

   su - root
   sync;sync;sync;init 0
   

   When the OK prompt appears, turn off the power to the ssp.

Powering on individual domains

1. Open two command windows; issue domain_switch ${domain_name} as necessary.

2. In one of the windows, ID the system boards by issuing domain_status and noting the board numbers under the heading SYSBDS:

   ${SSP}:${Domain}% domain_status
   DOMAIN          TYPE                     PLATFORM       OS     SYSBDS
   domain1         Ultra-Enterprise-10000   Plat_name      2.6    4 5
   domain2         Ultra-Enterprise-10000   Plat_name      2.6    0 1
   domain3         Ultra-Enterprise-10000   Plat_name      2.6    3
   domain4         Ultra-Enterprise-10000   Plat_name      2.6    6 8
   domain5         Ultra-Enterprise-10000   Plat_name      2.6    9 10
   

3. Issue power -on -sb ${board_numbers[*]}. Board numbers are listed together with space separators.

4. Issue bringup -A off -l7. NOTE: Space between the ‘-A’ and ‘off’ and lower case L in the ‘-l7’.

5. In the other window, issue netcon. Wait for the OK prompt to appear, then execute boot.

6. Wait for the system to come up completely, then exit the netconsole by issuing ~. (Press/hold tilde while pressing period).

Powering on the entire E10K

1. Power on the SSP; at the OK prompt, type boot

2. Flip the power switches on the E10K.

3. Log in as ssp

   1. Enter ${Plat_name} at the Please enter SUNW_HOSTNAME: prompt.

   2. Open a command window; execute power -on -all

   3. Open another command windows. foreach domain do:

      1. In one window, execute domain_switch ${domain_name}

      2. Execute bringup -A off -l7 NOTE: Space between the ‘-A’ and ‘off’ and lower case L in the ‘-l7’.

      3. In the other command window, execute domain_switch ${domain_name} followed by netcon

      4. When the OK prompt appears, execute boot

NOTES: ONLY BRING UP ONE SYSTEM AT A TIME Otherwise, the boot process will take longer than it already does!
