Getting a T5120 going

[Jens Schweikhardt]

hello, world\n

I got me a used T5120 to play around with Solaris 11.3.
Since it has no DVD, I thought to use the USB text installer for sparc.
Since I only have FreeBSD around (in other words: no usbcopy utility),
I simply used

dd if=sol-11_3-text-sparc.usb of=/dev/da3 # Where da3 would be the whole stick

I hooked up a serial line to FreeBSD and can interact with the SP and
even boot the Solaris 10 that's installed on the disks.
The Sun^WOracle docs on
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E53394_01/html/E54756/texttask.html#scrolltoc
simply tell me to

"Insert the text installation media and boot the system."

Well, that keeps booting from disk, not from the USB stick. Tried USB
ports on the front and back of the server. Maybe that's because the
eeprom setting for boot-device=disk, so I then issued

eeprom boot-device="usb disk net"

but no joy.

What's the magic to start the USB text installer?
Is my copying of the installer image too simple minded (i.e. does
that image need a partition table?)
Any hints appreciated. Happy New Year!

Hello Jens,

as far as I know there's only one way to make this USB image bootable -
usbcopy, for which you'd need an already installed Solaris 11.
The easiest way is to connect an external DVD drive to your T5120 and
boot a Solaris 11 DVD - I did this on a couple of M10-1, so this should
also work on a T5120.

regards

Does it have an ILOM?
If so, you might try the virtual CD.

Are you *sure* that it doesn't have a DVD-ROM drive? (or did you
mean that you don't have the DVD you need?)

Take a look at eBay auction: 331748341439

<http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sun-Sparc-Enterprise-T5120-8-Core-UltraSPARC-T2-1-2GHz-8GB-Server-/331748341439?hash=item4d3dbdf6bf:g:6S8AAOSwwPhWjYnL>

and in particular, look at the enlarged image of the front. AT the
right-hand side, just to the left of the two USB jacks, there may be an
optional DVD drive. (It is very skinny, but does have a slot for the
DVD.)

If you pull out the right-most drive you will see a tab just
above the drive which can be pulled out and replaced. (I've got a T5220
which is similar, but taller.

The DVD drive comes in two flavors -- one is SATA and the other
is ATA -- depending on just when it was made. They are not
interchangeable. But you may be able to find one on eBay if you don't
have one in yours.

Here is one with the SATA interface on eBay:

Item # 401048426227

Good Luck,
DoN.

Yes, Version 3.0.12.4.s r68583

# If so, you might try the virtual CD.

I got it going with the USB image in the meantime, but could you elaborate?
I went into almost any menu in the ILOM web interface, looking for something
like a "select ISO image to boot" entry but could not find one.

I got it booting from USB the following way.

a) Using dd on FreeBSD to write the stick is fine.

b) With the stick in slot 0 of the back, boot from disk into the old Solaris 10.

c) Log in and use rmformat to determine device path associated with stick.
Scary name, but it neither removes nor formats the stick :-)

# rmformat

Connected Device: USB1008A Flash Disk 8.07

d) fall back to "ok" prompt with

# init 0

e) boot with the "Physical Node"

Thanks DoN for taking the time to reply.

I'm 99% sure. The space for the "DVD" has one solid gray metal bezel
with only a hole for the two USB ports. No eject button, no activity
LED, let alone a slot for the DVD like on that picture. Since I got the
T5120 from a refurbisher I assume it was removed. So it's certainly
not a slot-in drive. But any caddy/tray drive I've seen in my life
at least had an eject button or activity LED... Should I look for
a screwdriver?

Anyway, see my other post, I got it going booting from USB, yay!

Jens

John,

After many ignored warnings about which machines I trust, I can open the
Remote Console window with a tab that shows my FreeBSD box's IP address.
But when I click "Redirection->Start Redirection" a popup says "No
appropriate protocol (protocol is disabled or cipher suites are
inappropriate) [OK]". The "Devices" entries stay disabled.
Is there something I can do to solve the protocol issue?

Firewall between your FreeBSD workstation and T5120?
More than a couple queer TCP ports required:

I disabled the firewall on FreeBSD, made sure it allows all IP traffic
but no change.
# ipfw show
00100 43309 17175962 allow ip from any to any
65535 2 624 deny ip from any to any

I'm using firefox 43.0.3 on FreeBSD. Both machines are on the same
private subnet, configured via DHCP on a "fritzbox" WAN router.

Does a vanilla Solaris 11.3 install come with any firewalling by
default? Here's the T5120's process list. Anything interesting here? Any
config files I should check? /var/adm/messages only reports SP sessions
being opened and closed, which looks ok.

Installing Solaris from optical media is soooo nineties :-)
I remember vividly the early nineties, when us geeks at the
computer center gathered around a pizza box connected to a
CD ROM with the first ever Solaris 2 CD. Those were the days.

Looks like KVMS is disabled.

$ ssh root@t5120-net-mgt
-> cd /SP/services/kvms
-> set servicestate=enabled

A subsequent nmap should show the remote console TCP ports.
If not, reboot the ILOM with a "reset /SP".

O.K. So yours has the blanking panel, not the drive.

Some places will buy without the drive, to keep people from
booting from a dvd and bypassing security.

So -- no clue as to whether yours wants the SATA or ATA version of
the DVD drive.

Great!

With all those CPUs it is a very good machine for a server, but
not for really highly compute intensive tasks. STill fun to play with,
and I'm using my T5220 as a server, so benefiting from what it was
designed to be.

Enjoy,

After that (with or without reset /SP) the nmap result now is

Redo web login, start Remote Console, still the "no appropriate
protocol" error. Are the "cipher suites" related to port 5555 "Oracle
ILOM Remote Console: Encryption"? Should all 8 of the
ILOM Remote Console ports be open?

Maybe a recursive show command in /SP/services provides a clue.

Hello, Jens,

I've got a bunch of T5120s and ran into the same issue. Tried a number of firmwares from 3.0.4 up to the latest I could find - v3.0.12.4.ze r101136.
None of them could work it out.
So let me ask a question: have you got any news on this topic?

[Casper H.S. Dik]

Is it possible that the ILOM is out-of-date and that the
system trying to connect it has a very up-to-date OpenSSL
library installed and it is refusing to connect?

Casper

[al.m....@gmail.com]

Not likely. I tried using CentOS 5 with jre 1.5 and firefox 1.5. No success.
And then I found the next document ( https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19839-01/E21875-01/cggghdaa.html ).

ILOM Features Not Supported

Among the ILOM features supported on other platforms, ILOM does not support the following features on Sun SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 servers:

The KVMS features of ILOM Remote Console. However, ILOM Remote Console does provide remote serial console on Sun SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 servers.


So I assume we have to forget about the Storage Redirection on T5120.

Sadly not. I've been hunting for a recent firmware, but it seems they
are only available when you have a costly support contract.

I think v3.0.12.4.ze is the most recent version of the firmware.

That is ossible. So the other way to solve is that do a remote boot.

(boot net:dhcp ....)

but that would require you to install a install server of sorts.
