Product Description

2

Ultra Enterprise clustered systems operate on various hardware configurations, including the SPARCserver 1000E and SPARCcenter 2000E systems. These systems are targeted at enterprise-wide, mission-critical database applications.

SPARCcluster systems support several PDB (parallel data base) and HA (high availability) database products. For information on the database products supported, refer to the applicable document:

PDB: Ultra Enterprise Cluster Administration Guide
HA: Solstice HA 1.2 Software Administration Guide

Clustered systems improve the availability characteristics of databases. A cluster consists of two compute nodes (servers). Communication among nodes is accomplished using redundant private network links.

Coupling databases yields the benefits of increased performance and higher level of database availability.

The databases are implemented on clustered platforms using redundant SPARCstorage^(TM) Array Model 100 series disk arrays.

SPARCcluster systems are designed for reliability and serviceability. They have no single point of failure, and can be repaired and maintained online. See Figure 2-1 through Figure 2-4 for functional block diagrams of clustered systems.

Each server has a disk partition to store its operating system, that is, the /. /usr, /ops, and /var file systems. The disk partition for the operating system can be mirrored to improve system availability (although these files are not viewed as a shared resource). Each server node boots from its own operating disk partition.

The database volumes are stored on two or more SPARCstorage disk arrays with each disk array cross-connected to both servers via a 25-Mbyte/second full duplex Fibre Channel optical link. Database volumes are mirrored across multiple disk arrays for high availability. The maximum number of storage arrays that can be installed is determined by the number of available optical connection slots on the servers.

2.2 SPARCcluster 1000 Configurations

There are several types of disk arrays used to store the highly-available database. The main system cabinets utilize SPARCstorage Array Model 112s. For expanded systems, the disk arrays are SPARCstorage Array Model 200 Series units hosting SPARCstorage RSM units (Removable Storage Media) or, SPARCstorage Array Model 210s hosting differential SCSI trays.

Figure 2-5 shows the SPARCcluster 1000 hardware required to support the Enterprise PDB and Solstice HA software. Note that these figures depict a system with more than the minimum configuration. The minimum configuration is listed in Table 2-1.

4.1 Hardware Planning

4.1.1 Planning Floor Space

Floor space and other requirements are:

The cabinets require approximately three feet of space in the front and three feet of space at the back for access by service personnel.
Power and interface cables should be kept out of the way of foot traffic. Cables can be routed inside walls, under the floor, through the ceiling, or in protective channels. Interface cables should be routed away from motors and other sources of magnetic or radio frequency interference.
SPARCstorage Arrays can be located up to 2 kilometers (1.24 miles) from the system cabinets.
System cabinets can be located up to 100 meters (330 feet) from each other.

4.1.1.1 SPARCcluster 1000 System

Figure 4-1 and Figure 4-2 are examples of floor plans for the minimum and maximum configurations, respectively.

Figure 4-1 SPARCcluster 1000 System Floor Plan Minimum Configuration Example (Top View)

Figure 4-2 SPARCcluster 2000 System Floor Plan Minimum Configuration Example (Top View)

4.1.1.2 SPARCcluster 2000 System

Determine the floor plan layout for your installation.

Figure 4-3 and Figure 4-4 are examples of floor plans for minimum and maximum configurations, respectively.

Figure 4-3 SPARCcluster 2000 System Floor Plan Minimum Configuration Example (Top View)

Figure 4-4 SPARCcluster 2000 System Floor Plan Maximum Configuration Example (Top View)

4.2 Power Requirements and Options

Each cabinet should have a dedicated AC breaker panel. The cabinets should not share this breaker panel with unrelated equipment. Each cabinet has a single power cord that supplies AC power to the internal power distribution unit. Internal components (terminal concentrator, boot disks, server chassis, and SPARCstorage Arrays--as appropriate) are plugged into the power distribution unit in factory-configured systems.

All rack-mounted components in the cabinets can be connected to appropriate power outlets external to the cabinets to increase high availability.

4.2.1 Electrical Circuits Required

The following requirements apply to the:

SPARCcluster 1000 server cabinet--housing two servers and three SPARCstorage Arrays
SPARCcluster 2000 server cabinet (one of two)--each cabinet housing one server and one, or two, SPARCstorage Arrays
Expansion cabinet--housing two SPARCstorage Array Model 200 Series and four SPARCstorage RSM units or differential SCSI disk tray units

Caution - Do not power other electrical equipment from the cabinet AC power distribution unit; system reliability may be adversely affected.

Each cabinet requires a 30A circuit. Two AC connector plug types are available. The NEMA L6-30P connector is used for 200-240V North American operation as shown in Table 4-1. The 32A, single-phase, IEC 309 connector is available for 220-240V international operation. See Table 4-1.

***Table 4-1*** Platform and Chassis Connector Requirements
Platform	Type: U.S.	Type: International	Comment
SPARCstorage Array 100 Series SPARCstorage Array 200 Series Multi-disk Pack	NEMA 5-15P	By country	One per storage array chassis. The appropriate international cables are included in the ship kit.
SPARCcluster 1000 SPARCcluster 2000 Expansion Cabinet	NEMA L6-30P	30A, single phase IEC 309	One per node cabinet. One per expansion cabinet.

4.3 Ethernet Networks

Differences between the two standards are noted in Table 4-2, but an overlap in values of certain parameters exists. When interconnecting RS-423A with RS-232C circuits, remember that performance is limited to that of RS-232C.

***Table 4-2*** Open-Circuit Voltages
	Open Circuit V		oltages
Recommended Standard	Minimum	Maximum	Without Damage
RS-232C	. 3.0V	. 25.0V	. 25.0V
RS-423A	. 4.0V	. 6.0V	. 12.0V

Table 4-2 shows a common operating area between .4.0 and .6.0 volts. However, there are differences between the two standards involving rise time, data rate, and cable length specifications.

RS-232C specifies that the rise time through the . 3 volt transition should not exceed 4% of the signal element duration.
RS-423 generally requires much slower rise times which are specified from 10%-90% of the total signal amplitude to reduce cross talk for operation over longer distances.

4.3.3.1 Cable Requirements

Evaluate the routing of cables to all equipment. Keep cable runs short to increase interface reliability. Other considerations include:

Make cable runs to equipment outside the computer room as direct as possible.
Place equipment in the computer room in a way to minimize cable run length to units outside the room.
Where necessary, allow extra cable length to:
· Enable cables to be routed clear of strong radio frequency interference (RFI) fields.

Permit system expansion or relocation.

4.3.3.2 Cable Length

Where possible, use short serial-interface cables for 9600 baud. You can use longer cables, provided the resulting load capacitance, measured at the interface point and including the signal terminator, does not exceed 2500 picofarads.

For further information see "EIA STANDARD RS-232C" and "EIA STANDARD RS-423-A." EIA RS-232C cabling specification is available from:

Electronics Industries Association 2001 I Street N.W.

Washington, D.C. 20006 USA Phone: (202) 457-4900

4.3.3.3 Shield Ground (Drain)

Some interface applications require use of shielded cable to minimize RFI or for other reasons. When used, connect the shield to frame ground at one or both ends depending on the specific application.

Note - On Sun Microsystems DB-25 connectors, the shield ground lead can be connected to pin 1 at the Sun system end (Protective Ground).

4.3.3.4 Generic Pinouts

Table 4-3 provides a cross reference of pinouts for Sun Workstations to standard EIA RS-232C and CCITT designations.

***Table 4-3*** Generic Pinouts for Sun System Boards and Communication Products
		Designation
Pin No. (25 pin)	Signal Description	EIA	CCITT
1	Protective Ground	AA	101
2	Transmitted Data	BA	103
3	Received Data	BB	104
4	Request To Send	CA	105
5	Clear To Send	CB	106

20	Data Terminal Ready	CD	108.2
24	Transmit Clock Out (DTE Source)	DA	113

Note - Sun Microsystems cannot guarantee proper system operation when maximum specified cable lengths are exceeded.

4.4 Coaxial Ethernet Cabling

For small Ethernet installations, you can purchase 15-meter lengths of Ethernet cable from Sun Microsystems. Use these 15-meter lengths only as single pieces, not as extensions with other cables. These branch cables come with two transceiver types:

Vampire tap
N-type in-line

Workstations can serve as gateways between physically separate Ethernet links. When a gateway is in place, users perceive a single logical network, and have transparent access to all the systems on both physical networks.

A gateway workstation simply has one Ethernet connection to each separate Ethernet cable. The software that performs the inter-network routing is included in the standard Solaris software release.

4.4.1 Ethernet Design Considerations

Refer to Table 4-4.

***Table 4-4*** Ethernet Design Considerations
Category	Specification	Description
Cable Type	Standard 802.3, 50- ohm Ethernet cable	Capable of a 10/100-megabit/second transmission rate
Network Design Details	Cable	Cable purchased in bulk should have marks on the casing every 2.5 meters. The maximum length of any standard Ethernet cable segment is 500 meters. This may consist of one continuous piece of cable or segments, but the segments must be in factors of 2.5 meters. (Spacing taps closer or farther apart disrupts cable impedance characteristics.) Cut the Ethernet cable only at 2.5-meter marks. The minimum length of any segment is approximately 24 meters. Connect the cable sheath conductor to earth ground.
Network Design Details	Transceivers	Attach transceivers, taps, and/or repeaters *only* at the 2.5 meter intervals on the cable. The distance between transceivers and/or taps must be in increments of 2.5 meters, and no closer than 2.5 meters from each other, and no farther apart than 500 meters. The path between two transceivers and/or taps cannot have more than one repeater. Install 50-ohm terminators on all ends of the Ethernet cable. Install them in a transceiver outlet or at the end of the cable, (for example, in the last transceiver at the end of the cable). The transceiver cable between the transceiver and workstation or terminal should be no longer than 50 meters.

If planning a large network (more than 40 workstations), you may improve local performance by grouping and connecting workstation-client clusters in small physical networks with gateway workstations to create your larger logical network.

Arranging workstation-client clusters according to work function, like engineering, accounting, and so on, is one possible scheme. Smaller networks (fewer than 40 workstations) may not benefit from this scheme. Figure 4-5 shows the elements used in the installation process.

Figure 4-5 Connecting Twisted-Pair Ethernet to N-type Coaxial Cable

Determine whether to install a terminator. Refer to Table 4-5, which lists the cabling limitations for Ethernet.

***Table 4-5*** Ethernet Cabling Limitations for N-type Coaxial Cable
Cable Segment	Length in Meters
Allowed contiguous length of cable segments	1 23.4, 70.2, 117.0, and 500.0
Distance between transceivers (multiples-of)	2 2.5
Minimum length of coaxial cable segments	23.4
Maximum length of transceiver "drop" cable	50.0

1. Finite lengths (as constrained by transmission line phenomena). Minimum length = 23.4M; maximum = 500M. If cable falls shorter than one of these values, add cable to achieve next-highest value.

2. Transceivers are placed at intervals of 2.5 meters, or multiples of 2.5 meters along the Ethernet cable. Example: transceivers are connected 2.5 meters apart, not 2.0 meters.

Example: transceivers are connected 15 meters apart (6 multiples of 2.5 meters), not 14.0 meters.

Figure 4-6 shows an example of a typical network setup. The server system can be any one of the systems in this figure.

Figure 4-6 Ethernet Cabling Length--Example Using N-type Cable

If a terminator is required, install a 50-ohm terminator on the unused transceiver N connector or the end of the coaxial cable. Use a female double N-type connector.

Note - Sun equipment conforms to the Ethernet 10BASE-T standard, which states that the link test function should always be enabled on both the node and the hub. If you have problems verifying the connection between your Sun equipment and your hub, you need to verify that your hub also has the link test function enabled. Refer to the Troubleshooting chapter in the applicable server system service manual and the manual provided with your hub for more information about the link test function.

4.4.2 Preparing the Ethernet Network

Sun Microsystems follows the IEEE standard for 10BASE-T Ethernet, also known as twisted-pair Ethernet.

For 10BASE-T, two pairs of unshielded wires connect to each workstation or a server. One pair transmits and the other receives. The 10BASE-T cable is made up of twisted pairs. These cables use RJ-45 connectors.

The cable connects the computer to a hardware interface called a hub. A coaxial or optical fiber cable connects the hub to the network. Single- and multiple-connection hubs are available commercially.

The maximum length of twisted-pair cables is 100 meters (330 feet). If cables connect through a wall socket, the combined length should not exceed 100 meters. Figure 4-7 summarizes implementation of twisted-pair Ethernet.

Note - Multiplexer boxes require a transceiver when used with the Ethernet applications described here. Although these transceivers are compatible with Sun equipment, Sun Microsystems does not guarantee the performance of any component not purchased from Sun.

Note - Many transceivers are compatible with both level-1 and level-2 Ethernet. To operate these transceivers with Sun equipment, set the device for level-2 operation using the manufacturer's instructions.

Figure 4-7 Example of 10BASE-T (Twisted-Pair) Ethernet

Set up Ethernet using Sun-supplied or third-party components. Read any applicable manufacturer instructions to obtain the best results.

5.4 System Component Cabling

Cabling is illustrated in Chapter 9, "SPARCcluster 1000 Hardware Installation."

5.4.1 Administration Workstation

This unit connects to the:

Terminal concentrator directly through a serial adapter cable
Public Ethernet

5.4.2 Terminal Concentrator

This unit connects to:

Node 0 and node 1 through a serial adapter cable connected to Serial A port on the system boards in slot 0 in both nodes
Public Ethernet

5.4.3 Public Net Ethernet

Connection to the public or client network is through the terminal concentrator and administration workstation (see the bulleted items in Section 5.4.1 and Section 5.4.2).

5.4.4 Node 0 to Node 1

The two SPARCcluster nodes are connected over two 100 Mbit fast Ethernet (twisted pair) links. Two links are used to eliminate the possibility of a single point of failure. Sun private net cables (short or long) are used.

Note - Use short or long Sun private net cables of the appropriate length, part numbers: 530-2149 (short) or 530-2150 (long).

In each node, communication is hosted by a SunSwift 100 Mbit fast Ethernet card for each link. Thus, four such cards are required to support the two links for the High Availability system.

The two cables connect the two nodes directly--no hubs are used.

5.4.5 SPARCstorage Arrays

Note - Determine your fiber-optic cable requirements. Read the appropriate sections to determine the quantity, length, and type of cables you will require. Apply labels to both ends of all cables before you begin cabling. For cable labeling procedures, see Chapter 9, "Labeling Fiber-optic Cables" under Section 9.2.8.3.

Each SPARCstorage Array incorporates two FC/OM optical modules. One module connects to node 0 and one to node 1. These are identified by A and B on the SPARCstorage Array chassis back panel. See Figure 5-6. for an example of SPARCstorage Array-to-node communication fiber-optic cable.

Figure 5-6 SPARCstorage Array Connection Detail

Cabinet A houses the nodes and two or three SPARCstorage Arrays. Cabinets B and above house two SPARCstorage Array Model 200 Series units and four RSM units or 9-Gbyte disk trays each. Figure 5-7 and Figure 5-8 show maximum configuration systems.

10.2.8 Installing the Boot Disk Unit: the Multi-Disk Pack

10.2.8.1 Multi-Disk Pack

Determine if your Multi-Disk Pack contains two or four disk drives, and what their addresses are. Since the Multi-Disk Pack can be ordered in a four or two disk drive version, the default factory-set addressing for devices within the unit differs between the two versions. Determine which version you have:

Find the part number on the Multi-Disk Pack:

Part Number X738A denotes the 2 disk drive version. SCSI addressing is factory set to 1 and 3. This does not match the default OBP boot path setting. Go to step 2.
Part Number X739A denotes the 4 disk drive version. SCSI addressing is factory set to 0 through 3. This matches the default OBP boot path setting. No action may be required -- go to step 3.

Resolve the OBP path discrepancy.
Take one of the following two actions:

Open the unit and reset the jumpers for the two drives to the correct addresses of 0 and 1.
Refer to the Multi-Disk-Pack Installation and Service Guide, Part Number 801-6119 for SCSI jumper access and locations within the unit, and the address setting procedure. When done, go to Section 10.2.8.2, "Node 0 Cabinet."
Change the default OBP path to match the address jumper settings in the Multi-Disk Pack.
For this procedure, go to Section 10.2.11.3, "Changing the Disk Addresses or Boot Path". When done, go to Section 10.2.8.2, "Node 0 Cabinet."

10.2.8.2 Node 0 Cabinet

Install the boot disk bracket in the front of the cabinets.

Locate the hinge portion of the boot disk bracket assembly.

Thread screws in a few turns in holes 27 and 11 on the side of the rail on the left side.
These screws will be used to hang the hinge on. See Figure 10-12.
Hang the hinge on the two screws installed in step 2.
Install the remaining four screws:

Holes 24 and 12 on the side
Holes 26 and 10 from the front

Tighten all screws. See Figure 10-12.

Figure 10-12 Installing the Boot Disk Hinge

10.2.9.3 Boot Disk Cabling

Cables for the boot disk unit must be routed and secured in a manner to permit servicing SPARCstorage Arrays while the node remains online in the cluster.

For the 2-meter SCSI cable to reach the FSBE/S controller on the system board, you may need to

move the FSBE/S from the top slot (slot 0) down to the third slot (slot 2.
edit the OBP boot parameter for the boot device and diag device to reflect the path change in controller location.

See Section 10.2.11, "Programming the OBP Environment."

Plug the cables into their source.
a. Plug the power cord into the power distribution unit. b. Plug the SCSI cable into the FSBE/S card on system board 0, slot 0.
Route the power cord and SCSI cable to the boot disk.
Route them through the cutout in the hinge side of the boot disk bracket. Then run them along the inside edge of the side panel mounting bracket as shown in Figure 10-16.

Note - Route the cables through the cutout opening to ensure they can move freely when the bracket is swung open and will not pinch or bind when closed.

Loosely secure the cables using three or more cable ties.
See Figure 10-16. Do not tighten cable ties at this time.
Connect the cables to the Multi-Disk Pack.
See Figure 10-17 for connection detail.
a. Plug the power cord into the power receptacle. b. Plug the SCSI cable into the SCSI IN connector.
c. Install a terminator on the SCSI OUT connector.
Dress the cables as appropriate.
Arrange the cable run, but leave enough slack at both ends for ease of servicing. Cinch all cable ties. Loop excess cable and secure with cable ties.
Test your work.

a. Close the boot disk bracket. Verify that no cable binds or gets pinched. b. Open the bracket fully and verify no cable pulls, gets crimped, abraded or pinched.

10.2.10.1 Connecting the Administration Workstation

Warning - Do not plug a keyboard directly into a host system board. If a keyboard is plugged into a system board, it then becomes the default for console input, thus preventing input from the system administration workstation/terminal concentrator serial port. In addition, plugging a keyboard directly into a host system board while power is applied to the host sends a break signal to the Solaris operating system, just as if you had typed a Stop (L1-A) on the keyboard.

Plug one end of cable PN 530-2152 into the terminal concentrator, Port 1.
See Figure 10-18.

Plug the other end into the administration workstation RS-232 connector.

10.2.10.3 Connecting Node 0 to Node 1 -- Private Net Ethernet

With two Sun private net cables (short or long), connect one node to the other.

Note - Use short and long Sun private net cables as appropriate, part numbers 530-2149 (short) 530-2150 (long).

First Cable 1. Connect one end of the Sun private net cable to the SunSwift 100 Mbit Ethernet card in system board slot 0, SBus position 1. See Figure 10-20.

Connect the other end to the identical system board and SBus card in the other node.

Figure 10-20 Node-to-Node Connections

Second Cable 1. Connect one end of the Sun private net cable to the SunSwift 100 Mbit Ethernet card in system board slot 1, SBus position 0. See Figure 10-20.

Connect the other end to the identical system board and SBus card in the other node.

Connect Any Remaining Cables. Connect all remaining cables. Table 10-2 summarizes the cables that can be connected at this time. Your system may have more network cables than are listed in this table.

10.2.10.4 Connecting Node 0 to Node 1 -- SCI Host and Cables

Using the SCI private net cables, connect one SPARCcluster 2000 node to the other.

Note - Node-to-node connection is made using the SCI host, cables and cable bracket.

Note - Use 2-, 5-, or 10-meter SCI cable as appropriate.

Installing the Bracket Supports 1. At the rear of the cabinet, loosely install two screws holes 70 and two more in holes 38.

At each hole position, install screw one at the left and one at the right. These screws will accept the slotted holes in the bracket supports (see Figure 10-21).

Install the top and bottom bracket support on the screws and tighten the screws.

Figure 10-21 Installing the SCI Bracket Supports

Preparing the Cable and Bracket

Note - SCI cables are thick and stiff. The cable bracket incorporates a track on both sides to support both cables. These tracks mechanically form and support the SCI cables. This allows the bracket to hold the cable connector flush against the SCI host connector (SBus card), and isolate the connection from effects of cable inflexibility, twist or pull.

At the rear of the cabinet, loosely install two screws in the top and bottom bracket supports.

Install screws in the hole closest to the right. These screws will accept the slotted holes in the cable bracket.

Orient the bracket with the narrow portion of the slotted holes to the right and the cable track opening toward the top.
See Figure 10-22.

Figure 10-22 Installing the Two SCI Cables in the Cable Bracket

Lay the cable for system board 1 into the right side of the bracket with the connector up and facing away from you.
Form the cable into the curved track built into the bracket.
Install two cable clamps to secure the cable.
Use two plastic rivets to secure the clamps to the bracket.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the left cable.
Install the cable in the track on the left side of the bracket and secure.

Cable and Bracket Installation 1. Install the bracket with cables on the rack.

a. Approach the rack. Align the cable connectors with the mating connectors on the system boards.

Do not force the connectors onto the host connectors at this time.

b. Adjust the cables in the tracks as required to allow the bracket surface to mate flush against the rack.

Adjust cables so the slotted holes in the bracket fit over the screws installed in step 1. Allow the bracket to rest on the screws but do not tighten.

c. Plug the cable connectors into the hosts.

Examine the cable connector to host spacing. Adjust the cables in the tracks as required to allow the top and bottom connectors to mate with the hosts.

d. Tighten the screws to secure the bracket to the rack.

Caution - Tighten the screws carefully or connector damage may occur. Readjust the cables in the tracks as required to prevent binding as the screws are tightened.

e. Check your work.

Ensure the connectors are secure and no excessive force bears on the cable, connector or system board. See Figure 10-23.

The alternative is to boot from disk1 or disk3 in a Multi-Disk Pack with two disk drives.

<#0> ok boot disk1
or

<#0> ok boot disk3

10.2.11.3 Changing the Disk Addresses or Boot Path

If you must change boot path addressing, do so by changing the OBP paths, or by changing the address jumpers on the internal disk drives:

Programming the OBP Environment You must program the OpenBoot PROM (OBP) environment to use the right boot path to the Multi-Disk Pack. The default SCSI addressing for a multi-disk pack with 2 disk devices installed is 1 and 3. Set the OBP boot path using this procedure.

Get to the ok prompt.

You may do this by power cycling the system or pressing the reset button.

Enter the setenv command followed by parameter name and value to change the setting.
Use Figure 10-32 as a guide. Change the parameter value as required so that the system will boot from the disk you select for the boot image. See the printout below for an example of use of the ok prompt commands.

<#0> ok setenv boot-device disk1 boot-device = disk1

Enter printenv.

<#0> ok printenv boot-device boot-device = disk1

Boot the system.

A

This appendix provides procedures to install the following assemblies:

*Installing the Air Baffles*	*page A-1*
*Installing the Rackmount Rails*	*page A-7*
*Installing the Side Rails*	*page A-13*
*Preparing the SPARCstorage Array Chassis*	*page A-15*
*Installing the Base Plate on the SPARCstorage Array Chassis*	*page A-22*
*Installing the Chassis in the Cabinet*	*page A-23*

A.1 Installing the Air Baffles

To ensure proper cabinet air flow:

Install the top air baffle assembly in all SPARCcluster 1000 system cabinets and all expansion cabinets
Install the bottom air baffle assembly in all locations that do not have a SPARCstorage Array installed. Thus, all potential chassis cabinet locations will have a chassis installed or be configured with the multi-piece bottom air baffle assembly.

Note - The SPARCcluster 1000 cabinet may have a fifth chassis installed (two servers, three SPARCstorage Arrays). If five chassis are installed, the bottom air baffle assembly is not required to close open air gaps.

A.1.1 Installing the Top Air Baffle Assembly

A.1.1.1 Side Top Baffle

The top air baffle assembly consists of the side baffle and the front baffle.

Loosely thread screws into hole 79 at the front and rear of the cabinet.
These will accept the slotted holes in the side top baffle. See Figure A-1.

Figure A-1 Installing the Top Air Baffle Assembly

Orient the side baffle as shown in Figure A-1 and slip the slotted holes over the screw heads installed in step 1, and under the loose bayonet hinge.
Tighten both screws to secure the side baffle in place.
Tighten all screws (loosened earlier) to secure the bayonet hinge in place.

A.1.1.2 Front Top Baffle

On the left-front side of the cabinet, loosely thread a screw into hole 78 and one into 83.
These screws accept the slotted holes in the front top baffle. See Figure A-1.
Engage the front baffle to the side baffle.
Orient the side baffle as shown in Figure A-1 and slip the tabs into the slotted holes in the side baffle. Hold the front baffle on a slight angle to allow the tabs to slip in.
Swing the front baffle flush against the cabinet and slip the slotted holes in the baffle over the screws installed in step 1.
Tighten both screws to secure the front baffle in place.

A.1.2 Installing the Bottom Air Baffle Assembly

The bottom air baffle assembly consists of the side baffle, the bottom filler baffle, and the front baffle. See Figure A-2, Figure A-3 and Figure A-4.

Note - The bottom air baffle assembly is required only in node cabinets containing four chassis (configured with two SPARCstorage Arrays only).

A.1.2.1 Side Bottom Baffle

Loosely thread screws into holes 4 and 13 at the front and rear of the cabinet on the inside rails.
These will accept the slotted cutouts in the side bottom baffle. See Figure A-2.
Orient the side baffle as shown Figure A-2 and slip the slotted holes over the screw heads installed in step 1.

Lower the side baffle until it rests on the screws in holes 4 and 13.
Do not tighten screws at this time.

Figure A-2 Bottom Baffles

A.1.2.2 Bottom Filler Baffle

Orient the bottom filler baffle as shown in Figure A-3.

Figure A-3 Bottom Filler Baffle

Insert the bottom filler baffle behind the chassis rail and lower it.
The slotted holes in the bottom filler baffle fit over the screw heads in hole 13 at the front and rear of the cabinet. See Figure A-4.
Tighten screws in holes 4 and 13 at the front and rear of the cabinet.
This secures the bottom and bottom filler baffles in place.

Figure A-4 Bottom Filler Baffle Installed

A.1.2.3 Front Bottom Baffle

Loosely thread screws into holes 3 and 14 at the right-front inside rail of the cabinet.
These will accept the slotted cutouts in the front baffle. See Figure A-2.
Engage the front bottom baffle to the side bottom baffle.
Orient the front bottom baffle as shown in Figure A-2 and slip the tabs into the slotted holes in the side bottom baffle.

Note - Hold the front bottom baffle at a slight angle away from the cabinet to slip into the tabs.

Swing the front bottom baffle flush against the cabinet and slip the slotted holes in the baffle over the screws installed in step 1.
Tighten both screws to secure the front bottom baffle in place.

A.2 Installing the Rackmount Rails

The rackmount rails are required when installing the SPARCstorage Array chassis into the SPARCcenter 2000E cabinet, or the SPARCstorage Array and SPARCserver 1000E chassis into the expansion cabinet.

The kit consists of the side rails and base plate (identified in Figure A-5) along with fasteners and certain other items. Rail installation consists of:

Installing the side rails in the cabinet to accept the chassis
Installing the base plate on the storage or server chassis
Installing the chassis (with base plate attached) on side rails in the cabinet
Reconfiguring the fan assemblies to provide correct cooling

Figure A-5 Rackmount Kit Side Rails and Base Plate

A.2.1 Chassis Installation Positions

Note - Cabinet cooling is an important factor. Use only the hole numbers specified for installing side rails. These hole numbers determine chassis spacing for proper ventilation and cooling.

A.2.2 SPARCcluster 1000 Node Cabinets

SPARCstorage Array chassis are installed in the bottom three positions. The server chassis are installed above these in the top two positions. A typical installation is shown in Figure A-6. Side rails are installed using screw hole positions identified in this figure.

Figure A-6 Side Rail Installation Locations and Hole Numbers in the SPARCcluster 1000 Node Cabinet

Note - SPARCstorage Array positions in the expansion cabinet are shown in Figure A-9.

A.2.3 SPARCcluster 2000 Node Cabinets

SPARCstorage Arrays are installed in following positions:

Primary cabinet: the top and (optionally) bottom chassis position, Figure A-7
Secondary cabinet:
· minimum-configuration: the top chassis position, Figure A-8
· four or more SPARCstorage Arrays, both chassis positions, Figure A-7

Note - Any additional SPARCstorage Arrays are installed in one or more expansion cabinets.

A typical installation is shown in Figure A-7. Side rail hole numbers are identified here.

Figure A-7 Side Rail Installation Locations and Hole Numbers in the SPARCcluster 2000 Primary Cabinet

Note - The rails are asymmetrical front-to-rear with respect to the lower hole position used, so, the hole used in the rear is one lower than that in the front.

Figure A-8 Side Rail Installation Locations and Hole Numbers in the SPARCcluster 2000 Secondary Cabinet

Note - SPARCstorage Array positions in the expansion cabinet are shown in Figure A-9.

A.2.4 Expansion Cabinets

SPARCstorage Array chassis are installed in all five positions. A typical installation is shown in Figure A-9. Side rails are installed using screw hole positions identified in this figure.

Figure A-9 Side Rail Installation Locations and Hole Numbers in the Expansion Cabinet

A.3 Installing the Side Rails

Loosely thread in two screws on the right side of the rack.
a. At the rear of the rack, thread a screw a few turns into hole 18. b. Thread a screw into hole 18 at the front of the rack.
Do not tighten. See Figure A-10.

Figure A-10 Threading Screws into the Rack--Right Side Rail

Place the right side rail in the rack. Align the open-slotted holes at the top of the rail with the screws installed in step 1.
Slide the rail to the rear so the holes seat on the shafts of the screws.
Install screws in the bottom rail holes front and rear. In the rear, it is hole 9, in the front, it is hole 10.
See Figure A-11.

Figure A-11 Securing the Right Side Rail to the Rack

Tighten all four screws, top and bottom.
Repeat steps 1 through 4 for the left side rail.
See Figure A-12.
Install all remaining pairs of side rails at the hole numbers specified in Figure A-6 through Figure A-9.

Figure A-12 Securing the Left Side Rail to the Rack

A.4 Preparing the SPARCstorage Array Chassis

Note - Illustrations in this section show a server chassis. A SPARCstorage Array chassis looks somewhat different, but the procedures apply to both chassis types.

Server and or storage chassis may have plastic panels installed. Part of chassis preparation involves removing these panels from each chassis to be installed.

Note - If plastic panels are not present, skip this procedure and go to Section A.5, "Installing the Base Plate on the SPARCstorage Array Chassis."

A.4.1 Removing the Front Panel

The front panel rests in a groove along the top edge of the panel.

If a key switch is present, remove the key from the key switch.
Place your fingers under the arrow embossed on the front panel and press up on the latch to release the panel.
See Figure A-13.

Note - If the panel resists becoming unlatched, press down on the top of the panel with one hand while pressing up on the latch with the other. This should release the latch.

With the panel released, gently swing the panel bottom away from the chassis and lift it clear.
Set the panel aside.

Figure A-13 Removing the Front Panel

A.4.2 Installing the Key Switch Position Label

Note - This procedure applies only to server chassis. This switch is found on the EMI panel. For SPARCstorage Array chassis skip this procedure and proceed to Section A.4.3 (SPARCstorage Array chassis do not have key switches).

Key position icons embossed on the front panel are removed when the front panel is removed. To restore the key position information to the front of the chassis, install the icon label (supplied in the kit) to the EMI panel.

Find the key icon label in the rack kit.
Remove the label backing.
Orient the label over the EMI panel so that the semicircular cutout straddles the key switch as shown in Figure A-14.

Apply the label to the EMI panel.

Figure A-14 Installing the Key Icon Label on the Server Chassis EMI Panel

Place the key(s) in a secure place so they can be found later.

Note - Do not insert the key in the switch at this time because the necessary handling of the chassis may inadvertently break off the key.

A.4.3 Removing the Side Panels

The side panels are self-attached slide and lock panels.

Remove the front panel as described in the previous section.
Remove the side panel:
a. Grasp the panel with both hands, and slide it toward the rear of the chassis about 2 1/2 centimeters (about one inch).
Tap the front edge of the panel with the heel of your hand if necessary to slide the panel toward the rear of the chassis (see Figure A-15).
b. Pull the panel away, free of the chassis, and set it aside.
Repeat Step 2 to remove the remaining side panel.

Figure A-15 Removing the Side Panels

A.4.4 Removing the Top Panel

The top panel slides to the rear to a release point after the popouts are removed, then lifts off.

A.4.4.1 Removing the Four Popouts

On the panel, find the location where the two dots are adjacent to each other: one dot on the popout, one on the top panel. See Figure A-16.
Press down on the popout at the small dot.
This action rocks the popout on a hinge-point, unlatching it.
Slide the popout back, away from the dots, and lift it free as shown in Figure A-16; set the popout aside.
Repeat step 1 through 3 to remove the remaining three popouts from the top panel.

Figure A-16 Removing the Popouts from the Top Panel

A.4.4.2 Removing the Top Panel

Place your fingers under the panel rear lip and lift.
See Figure A-17. Lift with enough force to bow the panel rear up at the center. This action causes three small raised features on the panel underside to clear cutouts in the chassis sheet metal.
While lifting the panel rear, tap the front with your hand to slide the panel rearward.
Slide the panel a few inches only. This is enough to disengage it from the chassis.

Note - If necessary, slide your lifting hand side-to-side under the rear lip while tapping the front to free each of the three raised areas on the panel underside of sheet metal cutouts beneath.

Lift the top panel straight up and clear of the chassis; set it aside.

Figure A-17 Removing the Top Panel

A.4.4.3 Replacing the Four Popouts

To prevent losing the popouts:

Orient the popout so the dots are nearest each other (Figure A-18).
Slide the popout in until it is centered in the hole.
Press down on the side opposite the dot to secure the popout in place.
Install the remaining three popouts in the same manner.

Figure A-18 Replacing the Popouts in the Top Panel

A.4.4.4 Removing the Feet

Invert the chassis.
See Figure A-19.
Unscrew all four feet.
The feet and screws are not used in this configuration.

Figure A-19 Removing the Feet

A.4.4.5 Removing the Bottom Panel

The bottom panel is identical to the top panel and is removed in the same manner.

* With the chassis inverted and the front facing you, repeat Section A.4.4.2, "Removing the Top Panel." See Figure A-17.

A.5 Installing the Base Plate on the SPARCstorage

Array Chassis

The base plate mounts to the chassis underside.

Caution - For this procedure, use only the four short screws provided in the kit for this purpose. The screws originally used for the feet are too long and will damage the chassis.

Invert the chassis with the front facing you (Figure A-20).
Place the base plate on the chassis.
Loosely thread four short screws from the kit in all four holes.
When all screws are started, tighten them.
Restore the chassis to the upright position with the front of chassis facing you (Figure A-21).

Figure A-20 Installing the Base Plate on the Chassis

Figure A-21 Base Plate Installed

A.6 Installing the Chassis in the Cabinet

Install the chassis from the bottom-up in the order shown in Figure A-6.

Warning - The cabinet can become front-heavy while installing chassis. Ensure that the stabilizer bar is extended before proceeding. Failure to extend this bar can result in the cabinet tipping forward and injuring personnel.

Warning - Server and SPARCstorage Array chassis are heavy. Obtain the aid of an assistant to help lift the chassis. Attempting to lift the chassis alone can result in injury to personnel.

With one person on each side, lift the chassis and approach the expansion cabinet with the chassis rear end first (Figure A-22).

Note - If the cabinet tends to roll away, lower the main leveling pads as instructed in Section 8.5.2, "Leveling Pads."

Figure A-22 Installing the Chassis in the Cabinet

Line up the chassis base plate with mating side rails in the cabinet.
See Figure A-23.

Figure A-23 Aligning the Chassis Base Plate with the Side Rails

Rest the chassis on the side rails, then slide the chassis in.
Thread in a screw through the slotted hole in the front of the base plate, into the left and right side rail.
See Figure A-24.
At the cabinet rear, insert screws through the holes in the rear of the side rails and screw them into threaded holes in the base plate.

Figure A-24 Installing Screws to Secure the Base Plate to the Side Brackets

Alternately tighten the screws at the front and rear of the base plate/side rails until the chassis/base plate is firmly clamped in the side rails. Do this on both sides of the cabinet.
Repeat steps 1 through 6 for all remaining chassis to be installed.

Note - At this time, you may decide to

· Insert the keys in the server chassis key switches for ready use.
· Store the keys for use only when needed.

B Configuring the SCI SBus Card

Configuring the SCI SBus Card

B

This appendix provides procedures for configuring and installing the SCI SBus card into the appropriate I/O boards.

B.1 SCI Rings and Scrubber Settings

The SCI host device uses the concept of rings in which two or more nodes (SCI SBus cards) are mutually connected. In a given ring, one host device (SCI SBus card) is designated as scrubber. Assignment as scrubber is accomplished by setting the onboard scrubber jumper.

The scrubber performs certain ring maintenance functions. The scrubber host always resides in the primary cabinet, node 0.

Assign two SCI cards as scrubbers.

These will be installed in node 0 I/O boards 1 and 3.

In these two cards, install the jumper to dedicate these cards as "scrubbers."
Install the jumpers in the On position as shown in Figure B-1.

Figure B-1 Scrubber Jumper Positions

Examine the two cards that are not assigned as scrubbers. Ensure the numbers are in the Off position as shown in Figure B-1. These will be installed in node 1 I/O boards 1 and 3.
Node 0: Install the SCI SBus cards in the system boards.
a. Install one scrubber SCI card into the system board to be installed in slot 0.
Install it in SBus slot 0 (see Figure B-2).
b. Install the other scrubber SCI card into the I/O board to be installed in slot 1.
Install it in SBus slot 0.

Note - For SBus card installation procedures, refer to the documentation supplied with the I/O boards or to the SPARCcenter 2000 Service Manual.

Figure B-2 SCI SBus Card Installed in the I/O Board

Node 1: Install the SCI SBus cards in the system boards.
a. Install one non-scrubber SCI card into the system board to be installed in slot 0.
Install it in SBus slot 0.
b. Install the other non-scrubber SCI card into the system board to be installed in slot 1.
Install it in SBus slot 0.

Note - For SBus card installation procedures, refer to the documentation supplied with the I/O boards or to the SPARCcenter 2000 Service Manual.

Install the system boards in the card cages.
a. Node 0:
Install the scrubber-equipped system boards into card cage slots 0 and 1.
b. Node 1:
Install the non-scrubber-equipped system boards into card cage slots 0 and 1.

Note - For I/O board installation procedures, refer to the documentation supplied with the I/O boards or to the SPARCcenter 2000 Service Manual.

The resulting installation is represented in Figure B-3.

Figure B-3 SCI SBus Card Configuration in Node 0 and Node 1

Note - In rack-mounter servers, SCI cable strain relief brackets are used to support the cables. The bracket is designed to accommodate and support the cable in I/O board SBus slot 0 only.

Note - SCI cables are available in lengths of two, five, or ten meters.

B.2 SCI Nodeid Values

SCI cards use nodeids as hardware addresses. Unique nodeid values must be assigned to each card during software configuration. See Figure B-4.

Note - Nodeids are the equivalent of Ethernet addresses for SCI.

Figure B-4 nodeid, Adapter Number, and IP Assignment for Each SCI SBus Card

B.3 SCI Driver Installation and Configuration for SPARCcluster Systems

Install the PDB software using pdbinstall. Specify SCI as the network interface.

Note - pdbinstall is loaded from the PDB software CD.

Configure the nodeid, adapter number and firmware for all SCI SBus cards.
Run the sciconf script in /opt/SUNWsci/bin.


  sciconf

Power-cycle both systems (nodes).


  sync; init 5

Start PDB.


  pdbadmin startnode

The scid0 and scid1 network interfaces are configured by the PDB script /opt/SUNWcluster/bin/reconf_ener during pdbadmin startnode.

Note - pdbadmin stopnode in PDB now takes down the private line network interfaces.

B.4 Configuring the SCI SBus cards Using the sciconf Script

B.4 Configuring the SCI SBus cards Using the `sciconf` Script

The sciconf script is provided in the SUNWsci package to automatically configure the SCI SBus cards with the appropriate nodeid, adapter number, and firmware values. This script has no command line parameters. If the PDB software is not installed, the script will prompt for system node number (0 or 1) before proceeding with card configuration.

Note - Only two SCI SBus cards can be installed in each system node.

Adapter numbers are assigned according to ascending physical SBus slot order. The SCI card residing in the lower-numbered slot is assigned as adapter number 0; the card in the higher slot is assigned as adapter number 1.

Note - Adapter number 0 cards are connected together using one SCI cable, and adapter number 1 cards are connected using another.

Table B-1 specifies nodeid values that will be assigned and programmed into the card by the sciconf script.

***Table B-1*** `nodeid` Values Assigned to SCI SBus cards by the `sciconf` Script
Node	Adapter Number	nodeid	Interface (IP Address)
0	0 (in lower SBus slot number)	8	scid0 (204.152.65.1)
0	1 (in higher SBus slot number)	12	scid1 (204.152.65.17)
1	0 (in lower SBus slot number)	16	scid0 (204.152.65.2)
1	1 (in higher SBus slot number)	20	scid1 (204.152.65.18)

* Run this command:


  /opt/SUNWsci/bin/sciconf

B.5 SUNWsci SCI Driver Installation and Configuration

Procedure for Non-PDB Systems

Install the SUNWsci package.


  pkgadd -d <package directory> SUNWsci

Configure the nodeid, adapter number and firmware for all SCI SBus cards.
Run the sciconf script in /opt/SUNWsci/bin.


  sciconf

Edit the /etc/sci.iffconff file and uncomment the ifconfig commands for the appropriate system node.

Power-cycle both systems (nodes).


  sync; init 5

B.6 What's Next

C Mixed Compute Platforms

Mixed Compute Platforms

C

Clusters may be comprised of two hosts which are different platform types and may have different type processors. Such platform combinations, however, are governed by constraints regarding compatibility and equivalency between the hosts. This appendix specifies which platforms and processors may be joined to create a cluster. Combinations not found here are not allowed.

C.1 Platform and Processor Equivalency

Table C-1 and Table C-2 list the compute platforms which can be combined to create a cluster for PDB and HA application respectively. In addition, they present module and memory equivalencies.

Note - The I/O connections must be identical for the two nodes, however the processor and memory configurations need not be identical. The larger the disparity, however, the greater the probability the two nodes will not boot-up at the same rate, which may affect HA start-up from a cold start. For example, after a total system power failure the larger node may take longer to boot. This can result in the smaller node starting HA without detecting the larger node and becoming the master of the logical hosts.

C.1.1 PDB

***Table C-1*** PDB Mixed Platform and Processor Equivalency
1 Platform	2 SPARCserver 1000	2 SPARCcenter 2000	Ultra Enterprise 3000	Ultra Enterprise 5000/4000
Ultra Enterprise 3000	3 X
Ultra Enterprise 5000/4000	4 X	4 5 X ,	4 X
Ultra Enterprise 6000	4 X	4 5 X ,	4 X	4 X

1. It is understood that identical platform types are allowed, and so are not documented here.

2. Three Sun4D 60 MHz processors are equivalent to one Sun4U 167 MHz processor.

3. Example: SPARCcluster 1000 has eight-to-twelve 60 MHz modules and 512 Mbytes memory; Ultra Enterprise 3000 has four 167 MHz modules and 512 Mbytes memory.

4. It is understood that the processor, memory and I/O capabilities are equivalent.

5. Example: SPARCcluster 2000 has twelve-to-twenty 60 MHz modules and 512 Mbytes memory; Ultra Enterprise 5000/4000 or 6000 has eight 167 MHz modules and 512 Mbytes memory.

C.1.2 HA

***Table C-2*** HA Mixed Platform and Processor Equivalency
1 Platform	Ultra Enterprise 3000	Ultra Enterprise 5000/4000
Ultra Enterprise 3000
Ultra Enterprise 5000/4000	2 X
Ultra Enterprise 6000	2 X	2 X

1. It is understood that identical platform types are allowed, and so are not documented here.

2. t is understood that the processor, memory and I/O capabilities are equivalent.
