G.3 Configuration Procedure


G.3 Configuration Procedure
This section describes the flow to configure the XSCF startup mode function.
  1. Perform installation tasks like updating firmware, configuring XSCF network(s) and users, activating CPU cores, etc.
    For details, see the latest Product Notes for your server.
Note - Do not set the startup mode to "fast" when performing system installation.
Note - XSCF startup mode is supported from XCP 2220 onwards. If the system firmware is older than XCP 2220, follow manuals or product notes to procure and update the system firmware.
  1. Turn on input power to the physical partition.
    a. Confirm that the configuration information of the logical domains is "factory defaults" with the showdomainconfig command.

    b. Execute the poweron command to start the physical partition.
Note - Do not set the startup mode to "fast" when performing system installation.
  1. Install software like Oracle Solaris or Oracle VM Server for SPARC etc., and/or configure logical domains.
    Regarding software installation, refer to "4.5 Connecting a DVD Drive." For details on how to configure logical domains, see the Fujitsu SPARC M12 and Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 Domain Configuration Guide.
Note - Do not set the startup mode to "fast" when performing system installation.
Note - If the configuration information of logical domains has been created, make sure to save this information to the XSCF by executing the "ldm add-spconfig" command.
  1. Use the poweroff command to power off the physical partition.
  2. Set the XSCF startup mode to "fast" mode.
    a. Login to XSCF with the "platadm" user privilege.

    b. Check the present value of the startup mode.
    For details on the xscfstartupmode(8) command, see the Fujitsu SPARC M12 and Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 XSCF Reference Manual.
XSCF> xscfstartupmode -d
Setting Mode: normal
Current Mode: normal
  1. c. Set the startup mode to "fast".
XSCF> xscfstartupmode -m fast
  1. d. Confirm that the startup mode has been set to "fast".
XSCF> xscfstartupmode -d
Setting Mode: fast [need AC OFF/ON]
Current Mode: normal
  1. Set the POST diagnosis level to "OFF" (when optionally electing to skip POST diagnosis during power on in order to further reduce the system startup time).
    a. Check the present POST diagnosis level.
XSCF> showpparmode -p 0
Host-ID :9007002b
Diagnostic Level :min
Message Level :normal
Alive Check :on
Watchdog Reaction :reset
Break Signal :on
Autoboot(Guest Domain) :on
Elastic Mode :off
IOreconfigure :false
CPU Mode :auto
PPAR DR(Current) :-
PPAR DR(Next) :off
  1. b. Set the POST diagnosis level to "OFF".
XSCF> setpparmode -p 0 -m diag=off
  1. c. Confirm the state of POST diagnosis level.
XSCF> showpparmode -p 0
Host-ID :9007002b
Diagnostic Level :off
Message Level :normal
Alive Check :on
Watchdog Reaction :reset
Break Signal :on
Autoboot(Guest Domain) :on
Elastic Mode :off
IOreconfigure :false
CPU Mode :auto
PPAR DR(Current) :-
PPAR DR(Next) :off
  1. Turn off the input power.
  2. Set the operation panel mode switch to "Locked".
  3. Turn on the input power to start the physical partition.
  4. Confirm that the startup mode had been set to "fast".
    For details on the xscfstartupmode(8) command, see the Fujitsu SPARC M12 and Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 XSCF Reference Manual.
XSCF> xscfstartupmode -d
Setting Mode: fast
Current Mode: fast
