Commonly Used SC & LOM Commands

See the Command Reference Guide for full details

setdefaults	Sets the configuration back to default values	setfailover	Changes SC failover status (force switches Main SC control).	setkeyswitch	Change the keyswitch position.
addboard / deleteboard	Assigns / Un-assigns a board to a domain (DR)	break	send break to the Solaris console	console	connect to the Solaris console
history	show command history	password	set the SC (or LOM) access password	poweron / poweroff	power on system / components and start OBP
poweron all	poweron all system / components only	reboot	Reboots the System Controller	reset	reset the Solaris system
resume	Exits the domain shell & resumes access to the domain console.	setchs / showchs	set / show FRU Component Health Status (setchs available only in service mode <5.20.15) </td>	setdate / showdate	set / show the date and time for the system
disablecomponent / enablecomponent	add / remove a component from the blacklist	flashupdate	update firmware (scapp)	help	show help for a command or a list of commands
showcomponent	Show state of a component	showenvironment	Show environmental information	showerrorbuffer	Show the contents of the error buffer
setupdomain	Configures the domain	setupplatform / showplatform	Configures / Shows the platform configuration	showboards	Shows board information
showlogs	Show the error logs (-v option should be used).	showsc	Show SC version and uptime information	testboard / testinterconnect	Test a board or run interconnect test (service mode commands)

Connecting to the SC from an admin workstation:

  Use a serial port connection:
      # tip hardwire

  Use telnet (assumes SC net has been configured
  with setupnetwork):
       # telnet SC-hostname or IP address

  Use SSH:
       admin-ws% ssh 6800-sc1
       Enter Password: As setup
       Connected. HIT RETURN

  Note – At 5.18.0, you will be offered the option of connecting with a 
         secure shell (ssh) only if you have an SC V2 in the IB/SSC.
         In this case only SSH will work not telnet

How to send a break if connected to the SC:

See Document 1017808.1 for details.

Navigating between shells

POST levels (Change using diag-level?)

  init  - (Default level) Only initialization code is
          run, no testing.
  quick - Few tests and few patters.
  min   - Quick sanity check.
  max   - All components tested with all tests and
          patterns, except for memory & Ecache.
  mem1  - More exhaustive DRAM and SRAM tests.
  mem2  - mem1 with the addition of a DRAM.

How to Identify the Physical DIMM Size:

  - Physical Size is equal to "DIMM Size" in prtdiag.
  - prtfru_-x.out data in Explorer identifies the 
    DIMM size.
  - sc>showboards -p memory identifies the DIMM size.

How to Identify the CPU Speed:

  - sc>showboards -v -p cpu shows the CPU speed.
  - prtdiag identifies the CPU speed..
  - prtfru_-x.out data in Explorer identifies CPU 
    speed and the board type.
  - showlogs AD Event messaging does NOT identify 
    the correct FRU pn for a SB.
