Mechanical Considerations when Mounting in the Equipment Frame Caution – Mechanical assistance is required if installing a loaded chassis. If you intend not to use a lifting device for installation, all modules other than the motherboards must be removed from the system prior to lifting. The empty chassis weighs approximately 49 kg (108 lb), or 68 kg (150 lb) with the motherboards, plus the adaptors. The weight of any removable module depends on its configuration.
Adjustable rear flanges can be fitted. They provide a mounting face anywhere between 400 mm and 500 mm (15.75 inches and 19.7 inches) from the front of the system (see “Mounting Flanges” on page 13). The vertical mounting hole pattern should conform to the standard dimensions given in TABLE 1-1.
Depth The front door (if fitted) must provide a minimum of 75 mm (3 inches) of clearance across the entire front surface of the Netra ft 1800 to allow for routing of I/O cables. As all I/O cables must be routed from the front of the Netra ft 1800 system, due consideration should be made of the space required within the rack for these cables, as well as the power cables at the rear of the system. There must be a minimum of 545 mm (21.5 inches) usable internal depth in the rack/ cabinet.
CHAPTER 2 Hardware Installation This chapter provides information on the initial hardware installation procedure, including installing modules and external I/O connections. Unshipping and Mounting the System Once you have removed the packaging from the system, you must then unship the system from the delivery pallet and brackets before attempting to mount the chassis in a rack. Caution – Do not attempt to remove the red plinth before the chassis has been mounted in the rack.
Note – Do not discard the tools after unshipping and mounting the system. They can be stored in the cloth bag supplied and attached to the rack adjacent to the system for easy access when required.

The CPUset LEDs will perform their own test sequence towards the end of the POST procedure, then the Target LED on one of the CPUsets will flash as the OBP ok prompt appears.
CHAPTER 5 Software and Operating Environment Installation This chapter describes all the steps necessary to install a software and operating environment release for the Netra ft 1800. To perform the steps described here, you should be familiar with the Solaris operating environment. Netra ft 1800 Install Media The release software consists of the following: ■ ■ ■ Netra ft 1800 Full Installation containing Solaris and Netra ft 1800 install software. Sun StorEdge Volume Manager 2.
Installation Methods The Netra ft 1800 supports two types of installation: local, from a local CD-ROM drive; or network, from a machine set up as a Solaris installation server. The requirements for these two types of installation are described in the following subsections. You must install the Sun StorEdge Volume Manager package when the Netra ft 1800 installation is complete in order to implement fault tolerant operation.
Network Installation To perform a network installation of the Netra ft 1800 software, you must ensure the following: ■ ■ Access to a SPARC server on which the Netra ft 1800 software can be installed. (A CD-ROM drive is needed for the initial server installation but need not be present for the network installation.) In the following instructions, this will simply be referred to as the server. That the Netra ft 1800 system to be installed is on the same subnet as the server.
Before You Start Caution – Before inserting a CD-ROM disk into your system read “Handling and ! Taking Care of your CD-ROM Disks” in the Netra ft 1800 Compliance and Safety Manual. In some circumstances if your CD-ROM disk does not have a clean data surface your system may fail to boot. 1. Establish the following: ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ The system Ethernet address (displayed in the BOOT PROM messages at system startup, which you can display with the banner utility, invoked from the ok prompt).
b. Insert the Netra ft 1800 CD-ROM in the drive on side A, at the top of the system, or the drive on side B at the bottom of the system. Check that the Power LED is lit on the RMM that contains the CD-ROM drive. 4. Boot the system. a. For local installation, type: ok boot a-cdrom0 if you inserted the CD in the CD-ROM drive on side A, or ok boot b-cdrom0 if you inserted the CD in the CD-ROM drive on side B. b.
You must leave two free slices for Sun StorEdge Volume Manager. The disk layout should have a maximum of five slices, plus the overlap slice, similar to the following: TABLE 5-1 Suggested Disk Layout Slice Size / 3000 swap 512 (rounds up to 513) overlap no change /export 2000 /opt 2000 /var 1050 There will be some rounding differences. You must also leave 1024 sectors, or 512K, free for Sun StorEdge Volume Manager within the total space available.
10. Install the appropriate patches. Refer to the Release Notes accompanying the CD. 11. Install the required PCI drivers and, if desired, SunVTS. Refer to the Release Notes accompanying the CD. 5.1 Finishing Installation Finishing installation includes: 5.1.1 ■ Appending the path to the Netra ft 1800 CMS utilities to the PATH variable; ■ Setting the MANPATH environment variable to include path to the man pages shipped with the Netra ft 1800 software.
For a C-shell, in your $HOME/.cshrc file type: setenv MANPATH ${MANPATH}:/opt/SUNWftm For a Bourne or Korn shell, in your $HOME/.
CHAPTER 6 Installing and Configuring Sun StorEdge Volume Manager This section contains guidelines for installing Sun StorEdge Volume Manager to provide fault tolerant mass storage on the Netra ft 1800 system. The main steps involved are: 1. Using pkgadd to load the Volume Manager packages, and install any required patches. 2. Configuring the Volume Manager software as described in “Setting up the Volume Manager Environment” on page 68. 3.
In the following procedure, you use cmsconfig to obtain the Disk attribute of the HDD module and the Funct_0 attribute of the CD-ROM drive (plus Funct_1 if you have an additional drive). To identify the device name of the root disk: 1. Start cmsconfig: # /usr/platform/SUNW,Ultra-4FT/SUNWcms/sbin/cmsconfig 2. Locate the HDD modules in the list. You can press p to page down to see second and subsequent pages. 3. For each HDD module in the list: a. Enter the number next to the module.
! ! Caution – Failures during the Sun StorEdge Volume Manager boot disk encapsulation process could result in loss of data on the root file system. Caution – Encapsulation of the boot disk will require that the installed system is shutdown and rebooted several times. Installing the Volume Manager Software This section describes the special requirements when you install the Volume Manager on the Netra ft 1800. You must install Sun StorEdge Volume Manager and patches specified in the Release Notes.
Setting up the Volume Manager Environment When you have loaded the Volume Manager software, and before you run vxinstall to initialize it, you must configure the software to run as required on the Netra ft 1800.
These commands create a startup script that enables the Volume Manager to exit back to the OBP upon encountering a stale boot plex, allowing the Volume Manager to try alternative boot disks. Enabling Recovery Behavior and Boot Disk Detection To enable correct recovery behavior and boot disk detection, make the following changes to the startup file /etc/rc2.
Setting up Boot Disks You must encapsulate the boot disk for Sun StorEdge Volume Manager to be able to mirror it. You are strongly recommended to do the following to ensure that the boot disk is configured for the Netra ft 1800: ■ Assuming that A-DSK0 is the Solaris install disk, you should have entered the command shown below at the end of the Solaris installation. See eeprom (1) for details on using eeprom command to change the boot device.
Setting up Other Disks Use vxdiskadm to add disks other than the boot disks to the system as new Volume Manager disks after the vxinstall process is complete. Select option 1, Add or initialize disks. See the Sun StorEdge Volume Manager System Administrator’s Guide for full details of using vxdiskadm. See the Netra ft 1800 User’s Guide for details of adding disks that are not already in the system. Note – You should plan to store all non-boot data on disks in groups other than rootdg.
Boot Disk Aliases Sun StorEdge Volume Manager boot disk aliases are not automatically updated when a disk is physically relocated. You must update boot aliases manually using the eeprom command when you relocate an HDD module. You might prefer to use the aliases defined by the PROM, for example, a-dsk1. These aliases, however, reflect the location of disks, rather than the specific virtual disk. See the OpenBoot 3.x Command Reference Manual (Part Number 802-5837-10) for details.
