Solution 1313741.1 : Sun SPARC[TM] Enterprise M3000, M4000, M5000 - How to correct an invalid or wrong brandid setting on a configured XSCFU.

Applies to:

Sun SPARC Enterprise M5000 Server - Version: Not Applicable and later   [Release: N/A and later ]
Sun SPARC Enterprise M4000 Server - Version: Not Applicable and later    [Release: N/A and later]
Sun SPARC Enterprise M3000 Server - Version: Not Applicable and later    [Release: N/A and later]
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Goal

Correcting an invalid or misconfigured brandid on a configured Mx000 xscfu.

An incorrect brandid can be identified by typing <tab><tab> at the XSCF prompt with the current user in "Normal" mode. This sequence will display a list of all available commands. If the command "enablecodboard" is present in the list, then the brandid is set incorrectly.

This procedure is for a configured xscfu that needs to retain a configuration.
To perform this same procedure on a new xscfu see <Document 1313793.1>

Solution

NOTE: Internal only process

XCP 1080 or higher is required for this procedure since the commands dumpconfig/restoreconfig were introduced in that release.

The steps below are for a network based dumpconfig. A USB stick based dumpconfig is MUCH simpler since the network needs to be set up again manually to restore the config.

Login to the xscf and initiate an escalation mode session.

Refer to <Document 1002928.1> for the necessary steps.
In step #3 'enableescalation' and 'escalation' should be substituted for 'enableservice' and 'service'.

Disable root logins:
escalation# usermod -s/bin/false root

dumpconfig to the USB Stick (preferred):
escalation# dumpconfig -v file:///media/usb_msd/m5000usb.cfg Making sure mount point is clear Trying to mount USB device /dev/sda1 as /media/usb_msd Mounted USB device file ./media/usb_msd/proxytest.cfg. already exists Do you want to overwrite this file? [y|n]: y removing file .file:///media/usb_msd/proxytest.cfg. ... done reading database ... ..............*done creating temporary file ... done starting file transfer ...transfer from ./tmp/dumpconfig.HE1RZa. to .file:///media/usb_msd/san-ff1-54.cfg. done removing temporary file ... done operation completed Unmounted USB device # # or Dumpconfig across the network # escalation# dumpconfig -u username ftp://129.157.206.83/m4000.cfg Password: operation completed

Check the current brandid setting: ( 1 = SUN, 2 = FUJITSU, 3 = FSC )
escalation# /scf/bin/brandid SunMC : off REMCS : on RCI : on DIMM-PCE : off DIDR : off SPDR : on SvcTag : off brandid : 2 <=== display : 2 escalation#

Set the correct brandid:
escalation# /scf/bin/brandid -s brandid=1 brandid : 2 -> 1

Verify the correct brandid is set ( see step 2 ).
Settings will take effect the next time the platform is powered

Clear the fru area:
escalation# /hcp0/scfprog/bin/clearfru # command may be located /scf/bin/clearfru

Restore factory defaults:
escalation# /scf/init/scf_initetc/setdefaults factory setdefaults will execute XSCF : all data clear OPNL : all data clear (exclude SYSTEM ID data) *** XSCF reboot then execute clear operation automatically. *** Are you OK? [y|n] : y .....

XSCF BOOT STOP (recover by NFB-OFF/ON)

Power cycle the system.
Set up a user to do the restoreconfig:
XSCF> adduser username XSCF> setprivileges username platadm useradm auditadm fieldeng mode XSCF> password username New XSCF password: Retype new XSCF password:

The next section is ONLY necessary if the dumpconfig was done across the network.

Login as username
XSCF> setnetwork xscf#0-lan#0 -m 255.255.255.0 10.16.80.224
XSCF> setroute -c add -n 0.0.0.0 -g 10.16.80.1 xscf#0-lan#0
XSCF> sethostname -d cte.sun.com
XSCF> sethostname xscf#0 v4u-m4000a-xscf-epar03
XSCF> applynetwork
The following network settings will be applied:
 xscf#0 hostname :v4u-m4000a-xscf-epar03
 DNS domain name :cte.sun.com
 interface :xscf#0-lan#0
 status :up
 IP address :10.16.80.224
 netmask :255.255.255.0
 route :-n 0.0.0.0 -m 0.0.0.0 -g 10.16.80.1
 interface :xscf#0-lan#1
 status :down
 IP address :
 netmask :
 route :
Continue? [y|n] :y

XSCF>  restoreconfig -u username ftp://129.157.206.83/m4000.cfg

Or run restoreconfig from the USB stick:
XSCF> restoreconfig -v file:///media/usb_msd/m5000usb.cfg

After restoreconfig from network or USB stick the system will need to be power cycled.
Log back in and disablemodes:
XSCF> showmodes Current mode: normal Enabled for: escalation Expires: Sun Jan 25 14:44:24 2009 XSCF> disablemodes XSCF> showmodes Current mode: normal
