Chapter 1 Notes after the Installation
This chapter describes the post-installation notes.
1.1 PRIMEPOWER - Specific Notes
1.1.1 Modifications of Solaris OS (Patches, PTF, Program Local
Fix)
Only the modifications (patches, PTF, Program Local Fix, etc.) for PRIMEPOWER provided by FUJITSU
LIMITED can be applied to existing PRIMEPOWER systems running Solaris OS software.
Do not use patches provided by Sun Microsystems, Inc. on the World Wide Web or those provided by other
vendors. Also be careful that you do not apply modifications (patches, PTF, Program Local Fix, etc.)
intended for other systems (GP7000D, etc.) provided by FUJITSU LIMITED.
For information on Solaris OS modifications, contact a FUJITSU systems engineer.
1.1.2 Changing the date and time
PRIMEPOWER 1/200/250/400/450/600/650/850
Use the date command in single user mode if you need to change the date and time for testing purposes.
PRIMEPOWER 800/900/1000/1500/2000/2500
See "System Console Software User's Guide" for information on how to change the date and time.
1.1.3 Serial port
1.1.3.1 PRIMEPOWER800/1000/2000
z All serial ports on the system board are to be used for the System Management Console.
z Do not access the following devices relating to serial ports. Also do not change the setting of
applications using the following device files (such as a port monitor).
-
-
-
-
-
-
/dev/term/a, b, ...
/dev/cua/a, b, ...
/dev/term/fa000, fa001, ...
/dev/cua/fa000, fa001, ...
/dev/se_hdlc
/dev/se_hdlc0, /dev/se_hdlc1, ...
However, devices that are not used as the console path may be used, but only for the FJVTS and
SunVTS. The usable default devices for FJVTS and SunVTS are /dev/term/fa003, fa004, ... and
/dev/se_hdlc3, se_hdlc4, ...
1.1.3.2 PRIMEPOWER900/1500/2500
z The device name of the serial port will be as follows:
1
-
-
-
/dev/term/fa000, fa001, ...
/dev/cua/fa000, fa001, ...
/dev/se_hdlc0, se_hdlc1, ...
Because the number of this device name is allocated from the instance number of driver, this number
does not necessarily correspond to the slot number of the system board.
z Do not change the setting of port monitor, etc. to the serial port for the console. Because the physical
device of the serial port used for the console is the physical device path which are linked from logical
device under /dev/fjse directory, the logical devices under /dev/term and /dev/cua, and /dev/se_hdlcX
files, which link to above-mentioned physical device path, are devices used for the console.
z Other than the serial port for consoles, five serial ports can be used by the user. However, keep in
mind that it is necessary to stop beforehand the application that is using the serial port of the system
board or the PCI/disk BOX in order to disconnect the system board by Dynamic Reconfiguration.
z Only the devices that are not used as a console path, can be used for FJVTS and SunVTS.
1.1.4 Gigabit Ethernet port on PRIMEPOWER250/450
PRIMEPOWER250/450 has a Gigabit Ethernet port as standard equipment. For how to use the Gigabit
1.1.5 Fibre Channel Cards (PW008FC3, PW008FC2 or GP7B8FC1)
Install the following versions of drivers:
FUJITSU PCI Fibre Channel 3.0 or later.
To install the driver, use the installer in the driver CD-ROM that is provided with the Fibre Channel Card. If
you don't have the driver CD-ROM mentioned above, download it from the following page.
Install the driver again after an update of Solaris 10.
For more detailed information, refer to "FUJITSU PCI Fibre Channel 3.0 Installation Guide" that is
provided with the driver CD-ROM or the page described above.
1.1.6 Time for booting Solaris
When booting Solaris 10 10/08 or later from Solaris CD/DVD or from the network via network instances
such as hme/qfe, it may take more time (approx. 20 minutes) than previous releases.
Example
{0} ok boot net
Boot device: /pci@80,4000/network@1,1 File and args:
* This interval may be longer than previous releases.
SunOS Release 5.10 Version Generic_xxxxxx-xx 64-bit
....
1.1.7 Error messages displayed after booting from Solaris DVD
If Enhanced Support Facility has been already installed on the system, the following error messages (max.
32 lines) may be displayed on the console at the first time of the boot from the system disk after the boot
from the Solaris CD/DVD which is Solaris 10 10/08 or later, but the error messages can be ignored safely.

1.2 Solaris OS - Notes and Bug Information
1.2.1 The order of instance numbers of optional cards
If an additional option card is installed, the instance number on the card might be assigned out of order.
Additional installation by Dynamic Reconfiguration or PCI Hot-plug is also applicable but replacement by
Dynamic Reconfiguration or PCI Hot plug is not applicable.
If you need to assign the instance numbers orderly, follow these steps below.
1.
Set the following in /etc/system.
set mtc_off=1
2.
3.
Reboot the system.
Install the optional card.
After the above setting, it may take longer time to reboot the system. If that affects the system, delete the
line and reboot the system.
1.2.2 Notes on Solaris OS operation
CD-ROM/DVD-ROM in UNIX file system (UFS) format
Do not use any CD-ROM/DVD-ROM in UNIX file system (UFS) format that is not produced for the Solaris
OS.
Even if the file system in such a CD-ROM / DVD-ROM is in UFS format, it's file construction may differ
from that of a Solaris system. If such a CD-ROM / DVD-ROM is used, serious problems, including a
system crash may occur.
Enter the OpenBoot environment
The following operations on a running system will enforce the system to move to Open Boot mode, which
might damage data.
z Connecting / Disconnecting the keyboard cable to / from the system.
z Sending a Break signal from the console terminal connected to the serial port.
z Turning on/off the power to the unit connected to the serial port of the system.
(This power on/off is treated as a Break signal.)
To prevent a system from entering the Open Boot mode, do the following:
3
PRIMEPOWER 200/400/600
z Set the MODE switch on the operation panel of the system to "SECURE" mode.
z Set OBP command (PROM command) to disable a Break signal. For more detailed information, refer
to "PRIMEPOWER USER'S MANUAL."
PRIMEPOWER 250/450/650/850/800/900/1000/1500/2000/2500
z Set the MODE switch on the operation panel of the system to "LOCK" mode.
z Set OBP command (PROM command) to disable a Break signal. For more detailed information, refer
to "PRIMEPOWER USER'S MANUAL."
PRIMEPOWER1
z Change the default keyboard abort sequence effect with kbd commnd.
# /usr/bin/kbd -a disable <Return>
z Change the /etc/default/kbd setting
1.
Edit the /etc/default/kbd as follows:
KEYBOARD_ABORT=disable
2.
Set keyboard defaults from the /etc/default/kbd file.
# kbd –i <Return>
z Set OBP command (PROM command) to disable a Break signal. For more detailed information, refer
to "PRIMEPOWER USER'S MANUAL."
Single-user mode
If you enter the system in single-user mode with the following commands, the run-level of the init process
displayed by the who -r command may be displayed incorrectly. In this case, the commands pkgadd,
patchadd, etc. may terminate.
/sbin/init s
/sbin/init S
/usr/sbin/shutdown [-y] [-gN] -is (N: numeral)
/usr/sbin/shutdown [-y] [-gN] -iS (N: numeral)
To avoid this problem follow the steps below.
1.
Enter the OpenBoot environment.
# /usr/sbin/shutdown -y -g0 -i0 <Return>
2.
When the ok prompt is displayed, boot the system with the following command.
ok boot -s <Return>
Transport protocols for NFS version 2/3
Although NFS version 2/3 can use either TCP or UDP as the transport protocol, it is recommended to use
TCP. If UDP is used on a poor quality network(in which packet loss occurs or transfer takes too long time
etc.), overall performance, stability and / or security may be degraded and further problems may occur.
Special NFS client settings may be necessary to use TCP for NFS. For more detailed information, refer to
the NFS client manual.
From Solaris 2.6 or later, NFS clients can be made to use the TCP protocol, by specifying "proto=tcp" as the
mount option. If the protocol to be used is not specified, mounting NFS using TCP is first attempted, If that
fails, mounting NFS using UDP is attempted.
How to eject a diskette
When you want to eject a diskette, follow the instructions described below. If not followed, data may be
damaged.
For more detailed information, refer to "Managing Removable Media" in "System Administration Guide."
4.
5.
Make sure the diskette is not being used.
Run the following command.
# eject floppy0 <Return>
6.
Make sure the Access LED has turned off.
4
7.
Press the Eject button on the diskette drive unit, then eject the diskette.
WARNING messages of se driver
When a serial port receives a lot of data, such as when a large amount of text is pasted on a console screen
connected to a serial port, the console message "seN: Buffer overrun" (N means an instance number of se
driver) will be displayed and the data will be lost.
This is because the user process cannot read data fast enough.
The size of data pasted on a console screen should be 1024 bytes or less at a time.
Speed of reception depends on each user process.
1.2.3 Notes on PCI cards
How to install PCI cards
To install a new PCI card, follow the steps described below.
Also, when you remove the PCI card or change the slot, do the following steps.
For PRIMEPOWER 1
1.
Enter the OpenBoot environment.
# /usr/sbin/shutdown -y -g0 -i0 <Return>
2.
Enter the following command to stop the system in the OpenBoot environment at the next system
boot.
ok setenv auto-boot? false <Return>
3.
Turn off the power to the system.
ok power-off <Return>
4.
5.
Install the PCI card to the system. (For more detailed information, refer to the manual attached to
the card.)
After you turn on the power, the OK prompt will be displayed. Boot the system with the following
command.
