SPARC Enterprise T5240 Server CPU and Memory details

ICT_Pianist Apr 27, 2017 10:23 PM

Hi,

I am newbie to this world

We have different servers: Sparc T4,T3 and Enterprise T5240. I am using serial connection to the servers to display the memory and cpu details for sparc T4 and T3 servers by excuting the commands

> show /SP/SYS/Memory

>show /SP/SYS/processors

but for T5240 i can not use them, i use instead:

> show -l all -o table /SYS type==DIMM but this take a while until reading all the details

and with the command :

show -l all -o table /SYS type=="Host Processor" i get no details

Is there any other commands i can consider to display the memory and CPU details for ILOM , ALOM and LOM?

Thanks in advance

Hi ICT_Pianist,

you could shorten the search path in my humble opinion to optimize the response time, as well as
to limit the information parts you want see ( part number + serial e.g + status. ). Secondly it might be
faster to use implicit "-l all -o table" by applying the alias for the same "-t", if you really need the table
output.

-> show -t /SYS/MB type==DIMM fru_part_number fru_serial_number fault_state

Would be great if this answered your question correctly. If so, please mark it appropriate to close the issue.

Thank you.

Regards.
Steffen

is there any other commands to show CPU and RAID controller details?

Hi ICT_Pianist,

On ILOM , there is only the "show" command, no other command to visualisize
the "Property" "Values" of given "Targets"

You need to know the available properties for the target and it's sub-targets:

example:

-> cd /SYS/MB

-> pwd
Current default target: /SYS/MB

-> show -d properties
/SYS/MB
    Properties:
        type = Motherboard
        ipmi_name = /MB
        fru_name = MB
        fru_description = T5140/T5240,MB,VF1.3,8C,1.6G
        fru_manufacturer = Mitac International
        fru_version = 01_50
        fru_part_number = 5407908
        fru_serial_number = 0328MSL-0926950030
        fault_state = OK
        clear_fault_action = (none)

-> show -d targets

/SYS/MB
    Targets:
        RISER0
        RISER1
        RISER2
        SEEPROM
        SCC_NVRAM
        GBE
        PCI-SWITCH0
        PCI-SWITCH1
        PCIE-IO
        SASHBA
        T_AMB
        CMP0
        CMP1
        V_+3V3_STBY
        V_+3V3_MAIN
        V_+12V0_MAIN
        V_VDDIO
        V_VCOREL
        V_VCORER
        V_+1V5_IO
        V_VMEML
        V_VMEMR
        V_VBAT
        V_VCOREL_POK
        V_VCORER_POK
        VMEML_POK
        VMEMR_POK
        I_USB0
        I_USB1

Or use simply the long paths:

-> show -d properties /SYS/MB

So you can check on Disk status :

-> show -t /SYS type=="Hard Disk" fault_state
Target              | Property               | Value
--------------------+------------------------+---------------------------------
/SYS/HDD0           | fault_state            | OK
/SYS/HDD1           | fault_state            | OK
/SYS/HDD2           | fault_state            | OK
/SYS/HDD3           | fault_state            | OK
/SYS/HDD4           | fault_state            | OK
/SYS/HDD5           | fault_state            | OK
/SYS/HDD6           | fault_state            | OK
/SYS/HDD7           | fault_state            | OK

RAID information are only available on Solaris side:
"Onboard RAID - How to get disk and controller details on model and firmware at Solaris level (Doc ID 1520814.1)"

CPU's, what does it mean, there are CORES and THREADS/CORE, what you define as a CPU ? The slot unit ?

-> show -t /SYS/MB type=="Host Processor"
Target              | Property               | Value
--------------------+------------------------+---------------------------------
/SYS/MB/CMP0        | type                   | Host Processor

-> show -t /SYS/MB type=="CPU Core"
Target              | Property               | Value
--------------------+------------------------+---------------------------------
/SYS/MB/CMP0/CORE0 | type                   | CPU Core
/SYS/MB/CMP0/CORE1 | type                   | CPU Core
/SYS/MB/CMP0/CORE2 | type                   | CPU Core
/SYS/MB/CMP0/CORE3 | type                   | CPU Core
/SYS/MB/CMP0/CORE4 | type                   | CPU Core
/SYS/MB/CMP0/CORE5 | type                   | CPU Core
/SYS/MB/CMP0/CORE6 | type                   | CPU Core
/SYS/MB/CMP0/CORE7 | type                   | CPU Core
/SYS/MB/CMP1/CORE0 | type                   | CPU Core
/SYS/MB/CMP1/CORE1 | type                   | CPU Core
/SYS/MB/CMP1/CORE2 | type                   | CPU Core
/SYS/MB/CMP1/CORE3 | type                   | CPU Core
/SYS/MB/CMP1/CORE4 | type                   | CPU Core
/SYS/MB/CMP1/CORE5 | type                   | CPU Core
/SYS/MB/CMP1/CORE6 | type                   | CPU Core
/SYS/MB/CMP1/CORE7 | type                   | CPU Core

And beside the type you can visualize several other properties, which vary over available targets

It really depends what you need in terms of information !? .. e.g. from DIMMs, Type ? Size ? Count ? Vendor Name ? Status ?

-> show -t /SYS type==DIMM fru_name fault_state
Target              | Property               | Value
--------------------+------------------------+---------------------------------
/SYS/MB/CMP0/BR0/   | fru_name               | 4096MB DDR2 SDRAM FB-DIMM 333
CH0/D0             |                        | (PC2 2600)
/SYS/MB/CMP0/BR0/   | fault_state            | OK
CH0/D0             |                        |
/SYS/MB/CMP0/BR0/   | fru_name               | 4096MB DDR2 SDRAM FB-DIMM 333
CH0/D1             |                        | (PC2 2600)
/SYS/MB/CMP0/BR0/   | fault_state            | OK

[ snip ]

Or PCI slots:

-> show -t /SYS/MB type==slot fault_state
Target              | Property               | Value
--------------------+------------------------+---------------------------------
/SYS/MB/RISER0/     | fault_state            | OK
PCIE0              |                        |
/SYS/MB/RISER0/     | fault_state            | OK
PCIE3              |                        |
/SYS/MB/RISER1/     | fault_state            | OK
PCIE1              |                        |
/SYS/MB/RISER1/     | fault_state            | OK
PCIE4              |                        |
/SYS/MB/RISER2/     | fault_state            | OK
PCIE2              |                        |
/SYS/MB/RISER2/     | fault_state            | OK
PCIE5              |                        |

If you don't know the target and/properties you can visualize them:

All targets, with their sub-targets:
-> show -l all -d targets
All properties per target:
-> show -l all -d properties

Did this help ? If so, mark the thread accordingly to help other users to find answered questions.

Thanks and regards.

Thank you Steffen

very helpful information, I appreciate it

Actually i am working in a refurbished company and we should test sun units before put them in the inventory .I have experience with HP ,IBM ,Dell and cisco servers but with SUN system i am totally new . So i am going to test them again next week .

It won't help in your case, but for others, there is a web interface that can be used to gather information. I personally find the CLI much easier to use, but I know others have preferred the "web gui."

can anyone please let me know why with Sparc T4-4 i can see the targets below in ilom:
SP/SYS/Memory
SP/SYS/Processors

while not in Sparc T3-1?

Thanks

Easy answer would be, they're different gen servers, as well as different sized server. But I've seen that the ILOM revs (HW and FW) can also make a difference.
