1.1.1 Multicore Processor Information
The UltraSPARC®T2 multicore processor is the basis of the Sun Blade T6320 server
module. The processor has four, six, or eight UltraSPARC cores. Each core equates to
a 64-bit execution pipeline capable of running eight threads. The result is that the
BL = blade (server module)
NEM0
NEM1
1-10 Sun Blade T6320 Server Module Service Manual • June 2009
8-core processor handles up to 64 active threads concurrently. For more information

http://www.sun.com/servers/wp.jsp?tab=1
1.2 Support for RAID Storage
Configurations
In addition to software RAID configurations, you can set up hardware RAID 1
(mirroring) and hardware RAID 0 (striping) configurations for any pair of internal
hard drives using the on-board controller, providing a high-performance solution for
hard drive mirroring.
By attaching one or more external storage devices (such as the Sun Blade 6000 Disk
Module) to the Sun Blade T6320 server module, you can use a RAID to configure
system drive storage in a variety of different RAID levels.
As shipped, the internal hard drives are not configured for RAID. To make a disk
part of a RAID array while preserving the data on the drive, add the drive to a
mirrored RAID set (also known as hardware RAID Level 1).
Before configuring RAID, you must configure a RAID expansion module (REM).The
Sun Blade T6340 Server Module supports two REMs, the Sun Blade RAID 5 and Sun
Blade RAID 0/1 G2 Expansion Modules.
Refer to the following for RAID configuration instructions:

2.1 Sun Blade T6320 Server Module
Diagnostics Overview
There are a variety of diagnostic tools, commands, and indicators you can use to
monitor and troubleshoot a Sun Blade T6320 server module.
■LEDs –Provide a quick visual notification of the status of the server module and
some of the FRUs.
■ILOM firmware –This system firmware runs on the service processor. In addition
to providing the interface between the hardware and the Solaris OS, ILOM tracks
and reports the health of key server module components. ILOM works closely
with POST and Solaris Predictive Self-Healing technology to keep the system up
and running even when there is a faulty component. For more information about
ILOM, see these documents:
■Sun Integrated Lights out Manager 2.0 User’s Guide, 820-1188
■Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager 2.0 Supplement for Sun Blade T6320 Server
Modules, 820-2546. This document describes ILOM information specific to the
UltraSPARC and the Sun Blade T6320 server module. It also provides
command comparisons of the ALOM CMT and ILOM CLI command sets.
■Appendix D of this service manual provides some information about using the
ALOM CMT CLI.
■Power-on self-test (POST) – POST performs diagnostics on system components
upon system reset to ensure the integrity of those components. POST is
configurable and works with ILOM to take faulty components offline if needed.
■Solaris OS Predictive Self-Healing (PSH) –This technology continuously
monitors the health of the CPU and memory, and other components. PSH works
with ILOM to take a faulty component offline if needed. The Predictive Self-
Healing technology enables Sun systems to accurately predict component failures
and mitigate many serious problems before they occur.
■Log files and console messages –Provide the standard Solaris OS log files and
investigative commands that can be accessed and displayed on the device of your
choice.
■SunVTS™–An application that exercises the system, provides hardware
validation, identifies possible faulty components, and provides recommendations
for repair.
The LEDs, ILOM, Solaris OS PSH, and many of the log files and console messages
are integrated. For example, when the Solaris software detects a fault, it will display
the fault, log it, pass information to ILOM where the fault is logged, and depending
on the fault, one or more LEDs may be illuminated.
Chapter 2 Sun Blade T6320 Server Module Diagnostics 2-3
The diagnostic flowchart in FIGURE 2-1 and TABLE 2-1 describes an approach for using
the server module diagnostics to identify a faulty field-replaceable unit (FRU). The
diagnostics you use, and the order in which you use them, depend on the nature of
the problem you are troubleshooting, so you might perform some actions and not
others.
Use this flowchart to understand what diagnostics are available to troubleshoot
faulty hardware, and use TABLE 2-1 to find more information about each diagnostic in
this chapter.

2.2 Memory Configuration and Fault
Handling
New dual rank fully-buffered (FB) DIMMs replace the single rank FB-DIMMs. The
Sun Blade T6320 server module has 16 connectors (slots) that hold Sun approved,
industry standard FB-DIMMs in the following capacities:
■1 Gbyte (maximum of 16 Gbytes)
■2 Gbyte (maximum of 32 Gbytes)
■4 Gbyte (maximum of 64 Gbytes)
■8 Gbyte (maximum of 128 Gbytes)
The Sun Blade T6320 server module performs best if all 16 connectors are populated
with 16 identical FB-DIMMs. This configuration also enables the system to continue
operating even when a FB-DIMM fails, or if an entire channel fails.
Note – Only dual rank type DIMMs are available as an assemble to order (ATO)
option.
2.2.1 FB-DIMM Configuration Guidelines
You must follow these guidelines when adding or replacing FB-DIMMs:
■Valid quantities of FB-DIMMs are 4, 8, or 16 (See FIGURE 2-3).
■All FB-DIMMs in the server must be the same capacity.
■All FB-DIMMs in a branch must have the same part number.
Note – FB-DIMMs that run on 1.5V are not supported in this server. An FB-DIMM
that runs on 1.5V is sometimes noted with an LV on the part number label. Do not
install these FB-DIMMs in this server.
When Upgrading Memory
When adding memory to the server, ensure that you follow all of the guidelines. You
might need to move some of the original FB-DIMMs to ensure that all FB-DIMMs in
a branch have the same part number.
2-8 Sun Blade T6320 Server Module Service Manual • June 2009
When Replacing Faulty FB-DIMMs
Within each branch, ensure that the replacement FB-DIMM has the same part
number as the FB-DIMM you are removing. If you are unable to obtain an FB-DIMM
with the same part number, you might need to replace all FB-DIMMs in the branch
to ensure that they all have the same part number.
The following table lists the supported FB-DIMMs and part numbers.
2.2.1.1 DIMM Installation Rules
Caution – The following FB-DIMM rules must be followed. The server module
might not operate correctly if the FB-DIMM rules are not followed. Always use
DIMMs that have been qualified by Sun.
FB-DIMMs must be installed in groups of four, each of the same capacity.
The following configurations are supported in the Sun Blade T6320 server module:
■Four FB-DIMMs (Group 1) Channel 0, FB-DIMM connector 0 in all branches must
be populated.
■Eight FB-DIMMs (Groups 1 and 2)
■Sixteen FB-DIMMs (Groups 1, 2 and 3)
See Section 4.3.1, “Removing the DIMMs” on page 4-10 for FB-DIMM installation
instructions. FIGURE 2-3 shows where to to install FB-DIMMs in groups of four.

2.2.1.2 Memory Fault Handling
The Sun Blade T6320 server module uses advanced ECC technology, also called chipkill,
that corrects up to 4-bits in error on nibble boundaries, as long as they are all in the same
DRAM. If a DRAM fails, the DIMM continues to function.
Note – The chipkill function is only supported on DIMMs that use “x4” DRAMs.
The following server module features manage memory faults independently.
■POST – Runs when the server module is powered on (based on configuration
variables) and thoroughly tests the memory subsystem.
If a memory fault is detected, POST displays the fault with the FRU name of the
faulty DIMMs, logs the fault, and disables the faulty DIMMs by placing them in
the Automatic System Recovery (ASR) blacklist. For a given memory fault, POST
disables half of the physical memory in the system. When this occurs, you must
replace the faulty DIMMs based on the fault message and enable the disabled
DIMMs with the ILOM command set /SYS/component component_state=
enabled .
■Solaris Predictive Self-healing (PSH) technology – A feature of the Solaris OS,
uses the fault manager daemon (fmd) to watch for various kinds of faults. When
a fault occurs, the fault is assigned a unique fault ID (UUID), and logged. PSH
reports the fault and provides a recommended proactive replacement for the
DIMMs associated with the fault.
2.2.1.3 Troubleshooting Memory Faults
If you suspect that the server module has a memory problem, follow the flowchart
(see FIGURE 2-1). Type the ILOM command: show /SP/faultmgmt . The
faultmgmt command lists memory faults and lists the specific DIMMs that are
/SYS/MB/CMP0/BR3/CH0/D1 J2501 3 H

instructions in that chapter to clear the faults and enable the replaced DIMMs.
2.3 Interpreting System LEDs
The Sun Blade T6320 server module has LEDs on the front panel and the hard
drives. The behavior of LEDs on your server module conforms to the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) Status Indicator Standard (SIS). These standard
LED behaviors are described in TABLE 2-3
2.3.1 Front Panel LEDs and Buttons
The front panel LEDs and buttons are located in the center of the server module
(FIGURE 2-5,TABLE 2-3, and TABLE 2-4, and TABLE 2-5).

2.4 Using ILOM for Diagnosis and Repair
Verification
The Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) is contained on firmware on the
service processor in the Sun Blade T6320 server module. ILOM enables you to
remotely manage and administer your server module.
Note – ILOM also contains an ALOM-CMT compatibility shell. For more
information about ALOM-CMT compatibility see the Sun Integrated Lights Out
Manager 2.0 Supplement for Sun Blade T6320 Server Modules, 820-2546. Appendix D of
this service manual also provides some information about the ALOM CMT CLI.
ILOM enables you to run remote diagnostics such as power-on self-test (POST), that
would otherwise require physical proximity to the server module serial port. You
can also configure ILOM to send email alerts of hardware failures, hardware
warnings, and other events related to the server module or to ILOM.
The ILOM circuitry runs independently of the server module, using the server
module standby power. Therefore, ILOM firmware and software continue to
function when the server module operating system goes offline or when the server
module is powered off.
Faults detected by ILOM, POST, and the Solaris Predictive Self-healing (PSH)
technology are forwarded to ILOM for fault handling (FIGURE 2-6).
In the event of a system fault, ILOM ensures that the Service Action Required LED is
lit, FRU ID PROMs are updated, the fault is logged, and alerts are displayed (faulty
FRUs are identified in fault messages using the FRU name. For a list of FRU names,
see TABLE 1-3).

In ILOM you can view the ILOM logs to see alerts. FIGURE 2-7 is a sample of the
ILOM web interface. Using the CLI you can type the show
/SP/logs/event/list/ command.
FIGURE 2-7 Sample Event Log in ILOM Web Interface
ILOM can detect when a fault is no longer present and clears the fault in several

2-18 Sun Blade T6320 Server Module Service Manual • June 2009
Many environmental faults can automatically recover. For example, a temperature
that is exceeding a threshold might return to normal limits, when you connect a
fan. The recovery of environmental faults is automatically detected. Recovery
events are reported using one of two forms:
■fru at location is OK.
■sensor at location is within normal range.
There are three thresholds for an environmental fault:
■Warning: ILOM issues a command to burst the fan speed.
■Soft shutdown: ILOM initiates a graceful shutdown.
■Hard shutdown: Immediate shutdown.
Environmental faults can be repaired through hot removal of the faulty FRU. The
FRU removal is automatically detected by the environmental monitoring and all
faults associated with the removed FRU are cleared. The message for that case,
and the alert sent for all FRU removals is:
fru at location has been removed.
■Fault repair – The fault has been repaired by human intervention. In most cases,
ILOM detects the repair and extinguishes the Service Required LED. In the event
that ILOM does not perform these actions, you must perform these tasks
manually with the following commands:
■set /SYS/clear_fault_action=true (The ALOM-CMT equivalent is
clearfault) Clears the PSH fault logs but does not enable the component.
See Section 2.7.2, “Clearing PSH Detected Faults” on page 2-45.
■set /SYS/component/component_state=enabled (The ALOM-CMT
equivalent is enablecomponent) Clears POST generated faults and enables
the component. See Section 2.6.4, “Clearing POST Detected Faults” on
page 2-39.
2.5 Using the ILOM Web Interface For
Diagnostics
These instructions use the ILOM web interface. To use the command line interface
(CLI), see Appendix D of this manual, theSun Integrated Lights Out Manager 2.0
Supplement for Sun Blade T6320 Server Modules, or the Sun Integrated Lights out
Manager 2.0 User’s Guide.

Use the web interface or type the show /SP/faultmgmt command for the
following reasons:
■To see if any faults have been passed to, or detected by the ILOM firmware.
■To obtain the fault message ID (SUNW-MSG-ID) for PSH detected faults.
■To verify that the replacement of a FRU has cleared the fault and not generated
any additional faults.
2.5.3.1 Viewing Fault Status Using the ILOM Web Interface
In the ILOM web interface, you can view the system components currently in a fault
state using the Fault Management page.
FIGURE 2-10 Fault Management Page Example
The Fault Management page lists faulted components by ID, FRU, and TimeStamp.
You can access additional information about the faulted component by clicking the
faulted component ID. For example, if you clicked the faulted component ID, 0

2-30 Sun Blade T6320 Server Module Service Manual • June 2009
2.6 Running POST
Use POST to test and verify server module hardware. Power-on self-test (POST) is a
group of PROM-based tests that run when the server module is powered on or reset.
POST checks the basic integrity of the critical hardware components in the server
module (CPU, memory, and I/O buses).
If POST detects a faulty component, it is disabled automatically, preventing faulty
hardware from potentially harming any software. If the system is capable of running
without the disabled component, the system will boot when POST is complete. For
example, if one of the processor cores is deemed faulty by POST, that core will be
disabled, and the system will boot and run using the remaining cores.
You can use POST as an initial diagnostic tool for the system hardware. In this case,
configure POST to run in diagnostic service mode for maximum test coverage and
verbose output.
Note – Devices can be manually enabled or disabled using ASR commands (see
Section 2.9, “Managing Components With Automatic System Recovery Commands”
on page 2-48).
2.6.1 Controlling How POST Runs
The server module can be configured for normal, extensive, or no POST execution.
You can also control the level of tests that run, the amount of POST output that is
displayed, and which reset events trigger POST by using diag variables.

3. Power cycle the server module to run POST.
There are several ways to initiate a reset. The following example uses the ILOM
reset command.
4. Read the POST output to determine if you need to perform service actions. See
Section 2.6.3, “Interpreting POST Messages” on page 2-38.
2.6.3 Interpreting POST Messages
When POST is finished running and no faults were detected, the system will boot.
If POST detects a faulty device, the fault is displayed and the fault information is
passed to ILOM or ALOM CMT for fault handling. Faulty FRUs are identified in
fault messages using the FRU name. For a list of FRU names, see Appendix A.
1. Interpret the POST messages:
POST error messages use the following syntax:
c:s> ERROR: TEST = failing-test
c:s> H/W under test = FRU
c:s> Repair Instructions: Replace items in order listed by H/W
under test above
c:s> MSG = test-error-message
c:s> END_ERROR
In this syntax, c= the core number, s= the strand number.
Warning and informational messages use the following syntax:
INFO or WARNING:message
The following example shows a POST error message report for a missing PCI device:
-> reset /SYS
Are you sure you want to reset /SYS (y/n)? y
Performing hard reset on /SYS
->
0:0:0>ERROR: TEST = PIU PCI id test
0:0:0>H/W under test = MB/PCI-SWITCH

above.
0:0:0>MSG = PCI ID test device missing Cont.
DEVICE NAME: MB/PCI-SWITCH
0:0:0>END_ERROR
2-38 Sun Blade T6320 Server Module Service Manual • June 2009
2. Type the show /SPfaultmgmt command to obtain additional fault
information.
The fault is captured by ILOM, where the fault is logged. The Service Action
Required LED is lit, and the faulty component is disabled.
For example:
In this example, /SYS/MB/CMP0/BR2/CH1/D1 is disabled. The system can
boot using memory that was not disabled until the faulty component is
replaced.
Note – You can use ASR commands to display and control disabled components.
See Section 2.9, “Managing Components With Automatic System Recovery
Commands” on page 2-48.
2.6.4 Clearing POST Detected Faults
In most cases, when POST detects a faulty component, POST logs the fault and
automatically takes the failed component out of operation by placing the component
in the ASR blacklist.
See Section 2.9, “Managing Components With Automatic System Recovery
Commands” on page 2-48).
After the faulty FRU is replaced, you must clear the fault by removing the
component from the ASR blacklist.

2.6.4.2 Clearing Faults With the ILOM CLI
1. At the ILOM prompt, type the show /SP/faultmgmt command to identify
POST detected faults.
POST detected faults are distinguished from other faults by the text:
deemed faulty and disabled, and no UUID number is reported.
For example:
-> show /SP/faultmgmt
■If no fault is reported, you do not need to do anything else. Do not perform the
subsequent steps.
■If a fault is detected, continue with Step 2.
2. Type the set component_state=enabled command to clear the fault and
remove the component from the ASR blacklist.
Type the FRU name that was reported in the fault in the previous step.
This example shows how to change directory to thread P32 on the CPU and
enable it.
The fault is cleared and should not show up when you type the show
/SP/faultmgmt command. Additionally, the Service Action Required LED is no
longer illuminated.
3. Reboot the server module.
You must reboot the server module for the enablecomponent command to take
effect.

4. At the ILOM prompt, type the show /SP/faultmgmt command to verify that
no faults are reported.
2.6.4.3 Clearing Faults Manually with ILOM
The ILOM set /SYS/clear_fault_action=enabled command allows you to
manually clear certain types of faults without replacing a FRU. It also allows you to
clear a fault if ILOM was unable to automatically detect the FRU replacement.
2.6.4.4 Clearing Hard Drive Faults
ILOM can detect hard drive replacement. However, to configure and unconfigure a
hard drive, you must type the Solaris cfgadm command. See Section 3.2, “Hot-
Plugging a Hard Drive” on page 3-1. ILOM does not handle hard drive faults. Use
the Solaris message files to view hard drive faults. See Section 2.8, “Collecting
Information From Solaris OS Files and Commands” on page 2-47.
2.7 Using the Solaris Predictive Self-Healing
Feature
The Solaris Predictive Self-Healing (PSH) technology enables the Sun Blade T6320
server module to diagnose problems while the Solaris OS is running. Many
problems can be resolved before they negatively affect operations.
The Solaris OS uses the fault manager daemon, fmd(1M), which starts at boot time
and runs in the background to monitor the system. If a component generates an
error, the daemon handles the error by correlating the error with data from previous
errors and other related information to diagnose the problem. Once diagnosed, the
fault manager daemon assigns the problem a Universal Unique Identifier (UUID)
that distinguishes the problem across any set of systems. When possible, the fault
manager daemon initiates steps to self-heal the system and take the component
offline. The daemon also logs the fault to the syslogd daemon and provides a fault
notification with a message ID (MSGID). You can use the message ID to get
additional information about the problem from Sun’s knowledge article database.

The Predictive Self-Healing technology covers the following Sun Blade T6320 server
module components:
■UltraSPARC®T2 multicore processor (CPU)
■Memory
■I/O bus
The PSH console message provides the following information:
■Type
■Severity
■Description
■Automated response
■Impact
■Suggested action for system administrator
If the Solaris PSH facility has detected a faulty component, type the fmdump
command to identify the fault. Faulty FRUs are identified in fault messages using
the FRU name. For a list of FRU names, see Appendix A.
Note – Additional Predictive Self-Healing information is available at:

2. Use the output of this command to clear the fault as shown in Section 2.7.2,
“Clearing PSH Detected Faults” on page 2-45.
If fmadm faulty does not identify a faulty component or if you need more
detailed information, type the fmdump command.
2.7.1.2 Using the fmdump Command
The fmdump command displays the list of faults detected by the Solaris PSH facility.
Use this command for the following reasons:
■To see if any faults have been detected by the Solaris PSH facility.
■To obtain the fault message ID (SUNW-MSG-ID) for detected faults.
■To verify that the replacement of a FRU has not generated any additional faults.
If you already have a fault message ID, go to Step 2 to obtain more information
about the fault from the Sun Predictive Self-Healing Knowledge Article web site.
Note – Faults detected by the Solaris PSH facility are also reported through ILOM
alerts. In addition to the PSH fmdump command, the ILOM show /SYS/ command
also provides information about faults and displays fault UUIDs. See Section 2.5.3,
“Displaying System Faults” on page 2-21.
1. Check the event log by typing the fmdump command with -v for verbose
output.
For example:
In this example, a fault is displayed, indicating the following details:
■Date and time of the fault (Apr 24 06:54:08.2005)
■Universal Unique Identifier (UUID) that is unique for every fault (lce22523-
lc80-6062-e61d-f3b39290ae2c)
■Sun message identifier (SUNW4V-8000-6H) that can be used to obtain additional
fault information
■Faulted FRU (FRU:hc:///component=MB). In this example it is identified as MB,
indicating that the motherboard requires replacement.
2. Use the Sun message ID to obtain more information about this type of fault.
#fmdump -v

In this example, the message ID SUN4U-8000-6H returns the following
information for corrective action:
c. Follow the suggested actions to repair the fault.
2.7.2 Clearing PSH Detected Faults
When the Solaris PSH facility detects faults, the faults are logged and displayed on
the console. After the fault condition is corrected, for example by replacing a faulty
FRU, you might have to clear the fault.
Note – If you are diagnosing or replacing faulty DIMMs, do not follow this
procedure. Instead, perform the procedure in Section 4.3.2, “Replacing the DIMMs”
on page 4-14.

service.
Impact
System performance may be affected.
Suggested Action for System Administrator
Schedule a repair procedure to replace the affected CPU, the
identity of which can be determined using fmdump -v -u <EVENT_ID>.
Details
The Message ID: SUN4U-8000-6H indicates diagnosis has
determined that a CPU is faulty. The Solaris fault manager arranged
an automated attempt to disable this CPU. The recommended action
for the system administrator is to contact Sun support so a Sun
service technician can replace the affected component.
Chapter 2 Sun Blade T6320 Server Module Diagnostics 2-45
1. After replacing a faulty FRU, boot the system.
2. Type fmadm faulty:
3. Clear the fault from all persistent fault records.
In some cases, even though the fault is cleared, some persistent fault information
remains and results in erroneous fault messages at boot time. To ensure that these
messages are not displayed, perform the following command:
fmadm repair UUID
For example:
Note – You can also use the FRU fault UUID instead of the Fault Management
Resource Identifier (FMRI).
Typing fmadm faulty after the repair command verifies that there are no more
faults.
2.7.3 Clearing the PSH Fault From the ILOM Logs
When the Solaris PSH facility detects faults, the faults are also logged by the ILOM
software.
Note – If you clear the faults using Solaris PSH, you do not have to clear the faults
in ILOM. If you clear the faults in ILOM, you do not also have to clear them with
Solaris PSH.
Note – If you are diagnosing or replacing faulty DIMMs, do not follow this
procedure. Instead, perform the procedure in Section 4.3.2, “Replacing the DIMMs”
on page 4-14.

2.8 Collecting Information From Solaris OS
Files and Commands
With the Solaris OS running on the Sun Blade T6320 server module, you have all the
Solaris OS files and commands available for collecting information and for
troubleshooting.
In the event that POST, ILOM, or the Solaris PSH features did not indicate the source
of a fault, check the message buffer and log files for fault notifications. Hard drive
faults are usually captured by the Solaris message files.
Type the syslogd command to view the most recent system message.
Use the /var/adm/messages file to view the system messages log file.
2.8.1 Checking the Message Buffer

2. Type the syslogd command.
The syslogd command displays the most recent messages generated by the
system.
2.8.2 Viewing the System Message Log Files
The error logging daemon, syslogd, automatically records various system
warnings, errors, and faults in message files. These messages can alert you to system
problems such as a device that is about to fail.
The /var/adm directory contains several message files. The most recent messages
are in the /var/adm/messages file. After a period of time (usually every ten days),
a new messages file is automatically created. The original contents of the
messages file are rotated to a file named messages.1. Over a period of time, the
messages are further rotated to messages.2 and messages.3, and then deleted.
1. Log in as superuser.
2. Type the following command.
3. If you want to view all logged messages, type this command.
2.9 Managing Components With Automatic
System Recovery Commands
The Automatic System Recovery (ASR) feature enables the server module to
automatically unconfigure failed components to remove them from operation until
they can be replaced. In the Sun Blade T6320 server module, the following
components are managed by the ASR feature:
■UltraSPARC T2 processor strands
■Memory DIMMs
■I/O bus
#syslogd
#more /var/adm/messages
#more /var/adm/messages*
2-48 Sun Blade T6320 Server Module Service Manual • June 2009
The database that contains the list of disabled components is called the ASR blacklist
(asr-db).
In most cases, POST automatically disables a component when it is faulty. After the
cause of the fault is repaired (FRU replacement, loose connector reseated, and so on),
you must remove the component from the ASR blacklist.
The ASR commands (TABLE 2-8) enable you to view and manually add or remove
components from the ASR blacklist. These commands are run from the ILOM ->
prompt. For information about ALOM CMT commands, see the Sun Integrated Lights
Out Manager 2.0 Supplement for Sun Blade T6320 Server Modules, 820-2546.
Note – The components (asrkeys) vary from system to system, depending on how
many cores and memory are present. Type the showcomponent command to see the
asrkeys on a given system.
Note – Areset or powercycle is required after disabling or enabling a
component. If the status of a component is changed with power on there is no effect
to the system until the next reset or powercycle.

This chapter describes how to remove and replace the hot-swappable and hot-
pluggable field-replaceable units (FRUs) in the Sun Blade T6320 server module.
The following topics are covered:
■Section 3.1, “Hot-Pluggable Hard Drives” on page 3-1
■Section 3.2, “Hot-Plugging a Hard Drive” on page 3-1
■Section 3.3, “Adding PCI ExpressModules” on page 3-5
3.1 Hot-Pluggable Hard Drives
Hot-pluggable devices are those devices that can be removed and installed while the
system is running, but you must perform administrative tasks first. The Sun Blade
T6320 server module hard drives can be hot-swappable (depending on how they are
configured).
For information about a hot-swappable or hot-pluggable PCI ExpressModule (PCI
EM) or network express module (NEM), see the service manual for your modular
system chassis.
3.2 Hot-Plugging a Hard Drive
The hard drives in the Sun Blade T6320 server module are hot-pluggable, but this
capability depends on how the hard drives are configured.
3-2 Sun Blade T6320 Server Module Service Manual • June 2009
3.2.1 Rules for Hot-Plugging
To safely remove a hard drive, you must:
■Prevent any applications from accessing the hard drive.
■Remove the logical software links.
Hard drives cannot be hot-plugged if:
■The hard drive provides the operating system, and the operating system is not
mirrored on another drive.
■The hard drive cannot be logically isolated from the online operations of the
server module.
If your drive falls into these conditions, you must shut the system down before you
replace the hard drive. See Section 4.2.2, “Shutting Down the System” on page 4-3.
3.2.2 Removing a Hard Drive
1. Identify the physical location of the hard drive that you want to replace
(FIGURE 3-2).
2. Type the Solaris OS commands required to stop using the hard drive.
The exact commands required depend on the configuration of your hard drives.
You might need to unmount file systems or perform RAID commands.
One command that you may use to take the drive offline is cfgadm. For more
information see the Solaris cfgadm man page.
3. Verify that the blue Drive Ready to Remove LED is illuminated on the front of
the hard drive.

Creating a Bootable Array With the
Sun Blade RAID 5 Expansion
Module
As an installation option, you can choose to create a bootable array (bootable logical
drive) and then install the Solaris operating system and the HBA driver onto that
array (logical drive). This chapter describes how to set the Sun Blade T6320 to be the
boot controller, and how to create a bootable array on a SPARC system.
Note – This appendix assumes that you are experienced with Solaris network
installs.
Topics include:
■“About Creating a Bootable Array on a SPARC System” on page 2
■“Creating a Bootable Array Task Map” on page 2
■“Modifying the Miniroot Directory On the Install Server” on page 3
■“Modifying the Product Installation Directory on the Install Server” on page 5
■“Building a Logical Drive On Which to Install the Solaris OS” on page 6
B-2 Sun Blade T6320 Server Module Service Manual • June 2009
B.1 About Creating a Bootable Array on a
SPARC System
These instructions describe how to use the Sun Blade RAID 5 Expansion Module to
create boot disks for a SPARC system that will run the Solaris 10 OS with a network
install server. Instructions for creating a bootable array with just the Live CD and no
install server are also included. Creating a bootable array using an install server is
suggested for larger sites.
The SUNWaac driver, which is required by Solaris to communicate with logical
drives created on the Sun Blade RAID 5 Expansion Module, is not present on the
install image. Because of this, you must manually add the driver. Manually adding
the SUNWaac driver is necessary only if you want to boot directly off logical drives
that are presented by the Sun Blade RAID 5 Expansion Module. Disks attached
through a REM must be presented as logical volumes. They cannot be accessed
directly.
B.2 Creating a Bootable Array Task Map
To create a bootable array for a SPARC system that will be running the Solaris 10 OS,
do the following:
1. Install and connect the HBA and disk drives.
See “Replacing or Installing the Sun Blade RAID 5 Expansion Module” on
page 20.
2. Obtain the Live CD from the HBA ship kit or go to:
http://support.intel.com/support/go/sunraid.htm
.
3. To create a bootable array using just the REM and Live CD (no install server),
go to “To Create a Logical Drive Without a Network Install Server” on page 8.
To create a bootable array using the REM, Live CD, and install server (suggested
for larger sites), continue with Step 4.
4. Install and configure a network install server, as described in Solaris 10
Installation Guide: Network Based Installations.
You can obtain this document by performing a search at:
http://docs.sun.com
Appendix B Creating a Bootable Array With the Sun Blade RAID 5 Expansion Module B-3
5. Obtain the following packages from the Live CD or from
http://support.intel.com/support/go/sunraid.htm,
and copy them into a
working directory on the install server:
■SUNWaac
■StorMan
■SUNWgccruntime
Note – When you copy these packages to a working directory, ensure that you use
the recursive copy command (cp -r). The packages are structured in a
directory/file system format, so you need to copy the entire contents.
6. Modify two locations on the network install server:
■The miniroot - The directory on the install server that is mounted as the root
directory on client machines during the client machines’ installation process.
See “Modifying the Miniroot Directory On the Install Server” on page 3.
■The product installation directory - The directory on the network install
server in which all other Solaris products will be installed during the network
install. See “Modifying the Product Installation Directory on the Install Server”
on page 5.
7. Build a logical drive on which to install the Solaris 10 5/08 OS.
See “Building a Logical Drive On Which to Install the Solaris OS” on page 6.
B.3 Modifying the Miniroot Directory On the
Install Server
The miniroot is the Solaris image mounted on / during a network installation, and is
used to provide a Solaris environment to run installation programs within.
To enable configuration of logical drives on the Sun StorageTek SAS RAID Internal
HBA card and to enable booting via the logical drives, you must add three packages
to the miniroot directory:
■SUNWaac - The SUNWaac driver, which is required by the Solaris 10 5/08 OS to
access logical drives.
■SUNWgccruntime - The gcc runtime libraries, which are required by the
command-line interface and the Sun StorageTek RAID Manager graphical user
interface (GUI).
B-4 Sun Blade T6320 Server Module Service Manual • June 2009
■StorMan - The Sun StorageTek SAS RAID Internal HBA utilities package, which
contains the command-line interface and Sun StorageTek RAID Manager GUI.
For information about obtaining these packages, see “Creating a Bootable Array
Task Map” on page 2.
▼To Modify the Miniroot Directory
The examples in this procedure use install_dir_path to refer to the location where
the network install image is located. This is the same directory path that you use
with the setup_install_server command, as described in the Solaris 10
Installation Guide: Network Based Installations.
1. If the install server is running a version of the Solaris OS prior to Solaris 10
5/08, update the server with the appropriate Solaris patch:
■Solaris 10 - patch 137321 (SPARC) or 137322 (x64)
■Solaris 9 - patch 137477 (SPARC) or 137478 (x64)
You can download the patches from http://www.sunsolve.com.You must
install the patch because the SUNWgccruntime package,which is one of the
required packages on the miniroot directory, requires the presence of the p7zip
compression program on the install server. This compression program is included
in the Solaris 10 5/08 OS and in the patches described in this step.
2. Obtain the required packages, as described in “Creating a Bootable Array Task
Map” on page 2.
3. As a root user, log into a SPARC architecture host (install server) from which
you can run the pkgadd commands.
Note – Make sure that the host on which you run the pkgadd commands is a
SPARC architecture host (as opposed to x64). The packages are designed for the
SPARC architecture and might not install correctly from an x64 system.
4. If you are installing the packages directly from the Live CD from the HBA ship
kit, mount the Live CD and use the cd command to change to the Live CD
directory.
5. Use the pkgadd -R command to install the SUNWaac,SUNWgccruntime, and
StorMan packages in the install_dir_path/Solaris_10/Tools/Boot directory.
#cd /cdrom/raid_live/s0/Raid_card
Appendix B Creating a Bootable Array With the Sun Blade RAID 5 Expansion Module B-5
Note – In the following example, the -R flag is directing the pkgadd command to
use an alternate root so that the packages will be installed correctly onto the
miniroot image. When you substitute your own directory path for install_dir_path,be
sure to begin with a /to provide an absolute path name. Also note that -d. (dash d
dot) syntax before the package names.
B.4 Modifying the Product Installation
Directory on the Install Server
The product installation directory is the directory into which all other Solaris products
will be installed during the network install. On the network install server, the
directory is install_dir_path/Solaris_10/Product.
You must place a copy of the SUNWaac package in this product installation directory.
Doing so enables you to add the SUNWaac driver to the client machine after other
Solaris packages have been installed. Without the SUNWaac driver, logical drives,
including boot drives, will not be accessible to the operating system, and booting the
newly installed machine will fail.
▼To Modify the Product Installation Directory
1. Obtain the SUNWaac package, as described in “Creating a Bootable Array Task
Map” on page 2.
2. Use the cp -r command to copy the SUNWaac package from the working
directory to the install_dir_path/Solaris_10/Product directory on the install
server.
#pkgadd -R install_dir_path/Solaris_10/Tools/Boot -d. SUNWaac
#pkgadd -R install_dir_path/Solaris_10/Tools/Boot -d. SUNWgccruntime
#pkgadd -R install_dir_path/Solaris_10/Tools/Boot -d. StorMan
#cp -r SUNWaac install_dir_path/Solaris_10/Product
B-6 Sun Blade T6320 Server Module Service Manual • June 2009
The cp command places the package on a network-mounted directory that will be
available to the install client. However, the command does not install the package.
Installing the package is a manual step that you will perform after the installation of
other Solaris software.
B.5 Building a Logical Drive On Which to
Install the Solaris OS
Before you can install the Solaris OS, you need to build the logical drive (array) on
which to install it. This section contains the following subsections:
■“To Create a Logical Drive Using a Network Install Server” on page 6
■“To Create a Logical Drive Without a Network Install Server” on page 8
■“To Delete a Logical Drive on the REM” on page 9
■“To Label the Newly Created Logical Drive” on page 10
Note – The following procedures provide basic examples of the command-line
interface (CLI). For detailed information about using the CLI, see the Uniform
Command-Line Interface User’s Guide, located at:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/prod/stortek.raid.hba
▼To Create a Logical Drive Using a Network
Install Server
1. Ensure that the physical drives are cabled to the internal Sun StorageTek SAS
RAID HBA.
2. From the system console, boot over the network into single user mode.
ok boot net -s
Appendix B Creating a Bootable Array With the Sun Blade RAID 5 Expansion Module B-7
3. At the system prompt, access the command-line interface (CLI), and use the
./arcconf GETCONFIG command to print a list of the complete configuration
of card 1 on the system.
In the following example, note that the CLI is located in the /opt/StorMan
directory, and the name of the CLI is aarconf. All commands must start with ./
unless you have altered the path to include /opt/StorMan in it.
Note – Ignore any “failing to write to log files” messages that might be displayed
after running the command. The command will run successfully and will provide a
list of physical disks, card status, and logical disks. The list might be long if you
have many physical disks.
4. Create a logical drive on the REM, using RAID 5 and all space on disks 0,2 0,3
and 0,4, run the CREATE command as shown in the following example.
Note – After using the CREATE command, you will see error messages like the one
shown in the next example. This is because you are working on a read-only file
system and certain links cannot be created. However, if the last message says
“Command completed successfully”, the logical drive is created.
5. Perform the necessary tasks to configure the drive. Such tasks might include
the following:
■Labeling the drive
■Partitioning the drive
■Preparing a file system
■Installing data from backups or recovering data from RAID capabilities
#cd /opt/StorMan
#./arcconf GETCONFIG 1
#./arcconf CREATE 1 LOGICALDRIVE MAX 5 0 2 0 3 0 4

■Bringing the drive online
These tasks are covered in the Solaris OS administration documentation. For
additional drive verification, use SunVTS. Refer to the SunVTS and Solaris
documentation at http://docs.sun.com for details.
▼To Create a Logical Drive Without a Network
Install Server
Note – This procedure is supported on Sun Blade T6320 Server Modules released
after July 2009. For Sun Blade T6320 Server Modules released before July 2009, an
external CDROM device with a USB connection is required.
1. Using ILOM, obtain the IP address of the system console from the blade server:
2. Type the IP address in the browser interface and select the Remote Control tab
and the Launch Redirection option.
3. Insert the Live CD in the blade server you are working on, then select
Devices/CDROM.
4. Insert the path to your CDROM drive.
5. On the host system, type the following from the OpenBoot PROM prompt and
follow the directions:
6. At the system prompt, access the command-line interface (CLI), and use the
./arcconf GETCONFIG command to print a list of the complete configuration
of card 1 on the system.
In the following example, note that the CLI is located in the /opt/StorMan
directory, and the name of the CLI is aarconf. All commands must start with ./
unless you have altered the path to include /opt/StorMan in it.

Appendix B Creating a Bootable Array With the Sun Blade RAID 5 Expansion Module B-9
Note – Ignore any “failing to write to log files” messages that might be displayed
after running the command. The command will run successfully and will provide a
list of physical disks, card status, and logical disks. The list might be long if you
have many physical disks.
7. Create a logical drive on the REM, using RAID 5 and all space on disks 0,2 0,3
and 0,4.
Run the CREATE command as shown in the following example.
Note – After using the CREATE command, you will see error messages like the one
shown in the next example. This is because you are working on a read-only file
system and certain links cannot be created. However, if the last message says
“Command completed successfully”, the logical drive is created.
8. To label the logical drive, see “To Label the Newly Created Logical Drive” on
page 10.
▼To Delete a Logical Drive on the REM
You might need to free up some space in order to create the logical drive on which
the Solaris OS will be installed. You can do so by deleting existing logical drives.
Caution – Using the command in this procedure will destroy all data on the
specified logical drive. Be very careful when using this command to prevent
unintentional data loss.

B-10 Sun Blade T6320 Server Module Service Manual • June 2009
●To delete a logical drive on the REM, use the DELETE card-number
LOGICALDRIVE drive-number command.
In this example, xis the number of the logical drive that you want to delete.
▼To Label the Newly Created Logical Drive
Before the Solaris OS can install software onto the newly created logical drive, you
must label the drive.
1. Use the ./arcconf GETCONFIG card-number LD command to display the logical
drives on the REM.
2. Use the devfsadm command to find the newly created drive and load its
drivers.
3. To label the newly created drive, use the format command and select the
logical drive.
You can distinguish the logical REM drives in the output by looking at the
vendor/product ID string. The Sun StorageTek SAS RAID HBA card is displayed
as “Sun-STKRAID.” The last part of the string will display “EXT” (for external) or
“INT” (for internal), depending on the type of card you have.
#./arcconf DELETE 1 LOGICALDRIVE x
#./arcconf GETCONFIG 1 LD
#devfsadm
Appendix B Creating a Bootable Array With the Sun Blade RAID 5 Expansion Module B-11
4. When the format process displays the Disk not labeled. Label it now?
prompt, type yand press Enter.
5. Exit the format process by typing quit and pressing Enter.
You now have a labeled logical drive.
6. Use the init 0 command, switch to the ok prompt, and use the boot net
command to reboot the system for normal network-based installation.
B.6 Next Steps
Install the Solaris OS and the HBA driver onto the bootable array, as described in
Appendix C.

APPENDIX C
Installing the Solaris OS and the
RAID 5 Expansion Module Driver
If you chose to create a bootable array as part of your installation (see Appendix B),
you can install the Solaris operating system (OS) and the REM driver on that
bootable array.
This appendix explains how to install the Solaris OS onto a bootable array (logical
drive) and then install the REM driver on the array (logical drive).
Note – This appendix assumes you are experienced with Solaris network installs.
Topics include:
■“Preparing to Install the Solaris OS” on page 1
■“Installing the RAID 5 Expansion Module Driver With the Solaris OS” on page 2
■“Next Steps” on page 4
C.1 Preparing to Install the Solaris OS
Before you begin, prepare to install the Solaris operating system.
▼To Prepare to Install the Solaris OS
●Complete the procedures in Appendix B.
C-2 Sun Blade T6320 Server Module Service Manual • June 2009
Note – For up-to-date Sun StorageTek SAS RAID HBA support, go to
http://support.intel.com/support/go/sunraid.htm
.
C.2 Installing the RAID 5 Expansion Module
Driver With the Solaris OS
This section contains the following subsection:
■“To Install the RAID 5 Expansion Module Driver With the Solaris OS” on page 2
▼To Install the RAID 5 Expansion Module Driver
With the Solaris OS
1. Obtain the Solaris 10 5/08 OS and perform a normal network installation, as
described in the Solaris 10 Installation Guide: Network-Based Installations, until you
encounter the prompt, Reboot After Installation?.
Note – Do NOT select Auto Reboot at this point in the network installation
process.
2. Specify that you want to perform a Manual Reboot.
Specifying a manual reboot provides you with the opportunity to install the HBA
driver after all other Solaris software is in place. Without this driver, subsequent
reboots will fail.
Note – If you accidentally choose Auto Reboot, you can still install the HBA
driver prior to reboot. From an ok prompt, you can use the boot net -s
command to boot from the network into single-user mode and then install the
driver.
3. Use the df command to verify the following:
■The product install directory is mounted on /cdrom from the network install
server.
Appendix C Installing the Solaris OS and the RAID 5 Expansion Module Driver C-3
■The logical drive onto which you need to place the driver package is mounted
on /a.
/a is the standard Solaris mount point for the disk on which the OS is being
installed.
4. If the product install directory and the logical drive are not mounted, manually
mount them.
Note – With this example, you must substitute the correct host names, directory
paths, and device paths in your environment.
5. Apply the HBA driver package, SUNWaac.
6. Apply any patches that are specifically required for the system.
7. Reboot the system.
The system will now be able to see, and boot from, the logical drive on which you
installed the Solaris OS.
Note – You might want to keep the network install server intact for re-installing or
for emergency recovery, because as of Solaris 10 5/08, the SUNWaac driver is not
included on standard Solaris install media. Using the boot net -s command from
the ok prompt enables you to perform maintenance on the system, while a Solaris
CD will not let you do so. You might also want to install the StorMan package on a
running system. This enables you to have access to the GUI and command-line
interface for the Sun StorageTek SAS RAID Internal HBA card, to configure or
monitor disks.
#mount /dev/dsk/c2t0d0s0 /a (for the logical drive)
#mount install_host:install_dir_path /cdrom (for the install server products)
#cd /cdrom/Solaris_10/Product
#pkgadd -R /a -d. SUNWaac
#reboot
