10.18.2 Initializing the Server


10.18.2 Initializing the Server
In the Systems With One XSCF
Use the restoredefaults command to initialize the server.
Operation Procedure
  1. Establish a serial connection with the XSCF.
  2. Log in to the XSCF.
  3. Execute the poweroff -a command to stop the system.
  4. Execute the restoredefaults command to initialize the chassis (the XSCF unit setting information and its backup information) or XSCF unit setting information.
Note - For details on how to specify options of the restoredefaults command and the related notes, see the restoredefaults(8) command man page or the Fujitsu SPARC M12 and Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 XSCF Reference Manual.
In the Systems With Multiple XSCFs
Initialization has the following prerequisites.
  1. Each chassis is connected to the XSCF network.
  2. If the PPAR-ID of a physical partition in operation is the same as the BB-ID of the chassis to be initialized, that physical partition must be powered off.
  3. The PSB of the chassis to be initialized is in the system board pool state.
  4. The PSB of the chassis to be initialized does not belong to any PPAR.
  5. If a crossbar box other than the master XSCF is to be initialized, the poweroff -a command must be executed to stop the system.
Operation Procedure
  1. To initialize the master XSCF, execute the poweroff command with the -a option specified to stop the system.
  2. Establish a serial connection with the master XSCF.
  3. Log in to the master XSCF.
  4. Initialize the target chassis by specifying its BB-ID and executing the initbb command.
    Perform this step for a target other than the master.
  1. Next, to initialize the master chassis, perform the following steps.
  2. Execute the restoredefaults command to initialize the chassis (the XSCF unit setting information and its backup information) or XSCF unit setting information.
Note - For details on how to specify options of the initbb(8) and restoredefaults(8) commands and the related notes, see the man page of each command or the Fujitsu SPARC M12 and Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 XSCF Reference Manual.
