PROBLEM OVERVIEW: System Configuration Card reader

OBTAIN CUSTOMER ACCEPTANCE
WHAT STATE SHOULD THE SYSTEM BE IN TO BE READY TO PERFORM THE RESOLUTION ACTIVITY? :

A data backup is not a pre-requisite but is a wise precaution.
The customer should conduct an orderly software system shutdown.

WHAT ACTION DOES THE ENGINEER NEED TO TAKE:

The system configuration card (SCC) ships tied in place to prevent the card from getting lost. The SCC contains a server’s unique network identity information, including the MAC address and host ID (stored in the IDPROM), and the OpenBoot PROM configuration (also known as NVRAM).
You can use the procedures in this section to either replace a faulty SCC or to swap a server’s unique configuration information from one server to another

The replacement system configuration card is not programmed with any OpenBoot PROM and ALOM configurations. Upon initial insertion in the Netra 240 server, you are prompted for confirmation that you wish to use the new card. It is then configured with the default configuration for the server.

Caution – The system configuration card must be installed and in place at all times while the system is running. If you remove a system configuration card while the system is running, the system powers off within 30 seconds.

Caution – Never remove the system configuration card while the server is booting or running the Solaris software. Before removing or inserting the system configuration card, remove power from the server, or put it into Standby mode.

Removing a System Configuration Card

1.Power off the server.

2.Open the front bezel

3.Cut and remove the tie wrap that secures the system configuration card, and remove the card from the system configuration card reader

Note – Once the system configuration card is inserted into the system configuration card reader, secure a new tie wrap to discourage accidental or unintentional removal of the card.

Inserting a System Configuration Card

1.Insert the system configuration card into the system configuration card reader

2.Replace the tie wrap on the card.

Note – By replacing the tie wrap, you ensure that the system configuration card is properly seated in the card reader (see FIGURE 3-4). If the card projects out of the card reader, the system does not boot properly. The tie wrap discourages accidental or unintentional removal of the system configuration card.
3.Power on the server(s).

WHAT ACTION DOES THE CUSTOMER NEED TO TAKE TO RETURN THE SYSTEM TO AN OPERATIONAL STATE: Restart software applications per applicable administration guides to resume system operation.
