2.4 Resetting SP and BIOS Passwords Using Jumper P4 This procedure describes how to reset the Administration password (the root password) for the ILOM Service Processor back to the default after it has been set once during initial setup. Note – This procedure simultaneously removes any BIOS password that was set. 1. Shut down the server to standby power mode by using a ballpoint pen or other stylus to press and release the recessed Power button on the front panel. See Section 2.
8. Return the server to main power mode by using a ballpoint pen or other stylus to press and release the recessed Power button on the front panel. Note – You must allow the entire server, not just the SP, to reboot to main power mode to complete the password reset. This is because the state of the P4 jumper cannot be determined without the host CPU running. Wait until the end of POST, when you see the CMOS password cleared by jumper message, after which both the BIOS and SP passwords are reset.
P4, Password Clear P5, Force Recovery TP51/TP52, CMOS Clear FIGURE 2-4 2-30 Location of Jumpers on the Motherboard (Sun Fire X4200 Server Shown) Sun Fire X4100 and Sun Fire X4200 Servers Service Manual • June 2006
2.5 Using the Force-Recovery Jumper P5 You can use this jumper to force the server to flash a new BIOS, in the case of a system hang. For example, if the system hangs after an ILOM SP firmware/BIOS update, use this procedure to force the server to look for the new BIOS. 1. Shut down the server to standby power mode by using a ballpoint pen or other stylus to press and release the recessed Power button on the front panel. See Section 2.2, “Powering Off the Server” on page 2-3. 2.
Note – If you do not remove the P5 jumper, the server will force a recovery of the new BIOS every time that you power cycle the server. 2.6 Using the Clear CMOS Jumper TP51/TP52 You can use this jumper to clear the server’s CMOS settings in the case of a system hang. For example, if the server hangs because of incorrect settings and will not boot, use this jumper to invalidate the settings and reboot with defaults. 1.
2.7 Using the Reset and NMI Switches Caution – Do not use the Reset and NMI switches unless you are instructed to do so by authorized Service personnel. The Reset switch (SW3 on the motherboard) sends a reset order to the CPUs, resetting the main system, but not the service processor.
2.8 Updating the BIOS The BIOS is updated whenever you update the ILOM Service Processor firmware. For instructions on updating the firmware, refer to the Integrated Lights-Out Manager Administration Guide, 819-1160. 2.9 Power-On Self-Test (POST) For information about BIOS POST testing, POST codes, POST code checkpoints, and console redirection, see Appendix B, “BIOS POST Codes” on page B-1.

APPENDIX B BIOS POST Codes B.1 Power-On Self-Test (POST) The system BIOS provides a rudimentary power-on self-test. The basic devices required for the server to operate are checked, memory is tested, the LSI 1064 disk controller and attached disks are probed and enumerated, and the two Intel dualgigabit Ethernet controllers are initialized. The progress of the self-test is indicated by a series of POST codes.
B.1.1 How BIOS POST Memory Testing Works The BIOS POST memory testing is performed as follows: 1. The first megabyte of DRAM is tested by the BIOS before the BIOS code is shadowed (that is, copied from ROM to DRAM). 2. Once executing out of DRAM, the BIOS performs a simple memory test (a write/read of every location with the pattern 55aa55aa). Note – This memory test is performed only if Quick Boot is not enabled from the Boot Settings Configuration screen.
9. Click on the Redirection tab. 10. Set the color depth for the redirection console at either 6 or 8 bits. 11. Click on the Start Redirection button. The javaRConsole window appears and prompts you for your user name and password again. 12. When you are prompted, type a user name and password as follows: User name: root Password: changeme The current POST screen is displayed. B.1.
B-4 ■ Boot Num-Lock: This option is On by default (keyboard Num-Lock is turned on during boot). If you set this to off, the keyboard Num-Lock is not turned on during boot. ■ Wait for F1 if Error: This option is disabled by default. If you enable this, the system will pause if an error is found during POST and will only resume when you press the F1 key. ■ Interrupt 19 Capture: This option is reserved for future use. Do not change.
B.1.4 POST Codes TABLE B-1 contains descriptions of each of the POST codes, listed in the same order in which they are generated. These POST codes appear as a four-digit string that is a combination of two-digit output from primary I/O port 80 and two-digit output from secondary I/O port 81. In the POST codes listed in TABLE B-1, the first two digits are from port 81 and the last two digits are from port 80.
TABLE B-1 POST Codes (Continued) Post Code Description 8600 Preparing CPU for booting to OS by copying all of the context of the BSP to all application processors present. NOTE: APs are left in the CLI HLT state. de00 Preparing CPU for booting to OS by copying all of the context of the BSP to all application processors present. NOTE: APs are left in the CLI HLT state. 8613 Initialize PM regs and PM PCI regs at Early-POST. Initialize multi host bridge, if system supports it.
B.1.5 POST Code Checkpoints The POST code checkpoints are the largest set of checkpoints during the BIOS preboot process. TABLE B-2 describes the type of checkpoints that might occur during the POST portion of the BIOS. These two-digit checkpoints are the output from primary I/O port 80. TABLE B-2 POST Code Checkpoints Post Code Description 03 Disable NMI, Parity, video for EGA, and DMA controllers. At this point, only ROM accesses are to the GPNV.
TABLE B-2 POST Code Checkpoints (Continued) Post Code Description 0E Testing and initialization of different Input Devices. Also, update the Kernel Variables. Traps the INT09h vector, so that the POST INT09h handler gets control for IRQ1.

E.4 Performing RAID Configuration Tasks This section contains the following information and instructions for using the Configuration Utility to set up RAID: ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Section E.4.1, “RAID Implementation and Support” on page E-41 Section E.4.2, “Creating a RAID 0 Volume” on page E-44 Section E.4.3, “Creating a RAID 1 Volume” on page E-45 Section E.4.5, “Creating a Second RAID Volume” on page E-46 Section E.4.6, “Viewing RAID Volume Properties” on page E-47 Section E.4.
E.4.1.1 Automatic Data Resynchronization and Hot Spares Caution – Possible data loss: If you insert a HDD that has been configured with a RAID volume into a server that did not previously have its HDDs configured with RAID volumes, the existing HDD(s) in the server will be converted to RAID volumes during automatic synchronization and any existing data on the existing HDD(s) in the server will be erased.
E.4.1.2 RAID Level Support The following items describe the RAID level support for these servers: E.4.1.3 ■ RAID 1 (mirroring) is supported. ■ RAID 0 (striping) is supported. ■ LSI RAID 1E or IME (mirroring over more than two drives) is not supported. ■ RAID 0+1 and 1+0 are not supported by the SAS1064 controller. RAID Volume Support The following items describe the RAID volumes supported for these servers: E.4.1.
E.4.2 Creating a RAID 0 Volume A RAID 0 volume, also referred to as Integrated Striping (IS), offers the ability to stripe data across multiple hard disks. This can increase storage capacity and performance by combining multiple disks into one logical volume. Note – Use RAID 0 with caution. The only advantage of RAID 0 is to improve the overall disk performance by striping data over several disk drives.
E.4.3 Creating a RAID 1 Volume A RAID 1 volume, also referred to as Integrated Mirroring (IM), offers the ability to mirror data from one hard disk onto another one. This can increase reliability by combining multiple disks into one logical volume. Follow these steps to create a RAID 1 volume on an adapter that does not currently have a volume configured. 1. In the Configuration Utility, select an adapter from the Adapter List. 2. Select the RAID Properties option. 3.
E.4.4 Managing Hot Spares Follow these steps to add a hot spare to a RAID 1 volume. 1. Select Manage Hot Spare. 2. Select a disk from the list by pressing the + key, - key, or space bar. Note – A hot spare must be valid RAID disk, as defined in Section E.4.3, “Creating a RAID 1 Volume” on page E-45. 3. After you select the hot spare disk, press C. 4. Select Save changes then exit this menu to commit the changes. The Configuration Utility will pause while the hot spare is being added.
E.4.6 Viewing RAID Volume Properties Follow these steps to view the properties of RAID volumes. 1. In the Configuration Utility, select an adapter from the Adapter List. 2. Select the RAID Properties option. The properties of the current volume are displayed. 3. If more than one volume is configured, press Alt+N to view the next array. 4. To manage the current array, press Enter when the Manage Array item is selected. E.4.
E.4.9 Deleting an Array Caution – Before deleting an array, be sure to back up all data on the array that you want to keep. Follow these steps to delete a selected array. 1. Select Delete Array. 2. Press Y to delete the array, or press N to abandon the deletion. After a pause, the firmware deletes the array. Note – Once a volume has been deleted, it cannot be recovered. When a RAID 1 volume is deleted, the data is preserved on the primary disk.
