You must connect the system controller to a network to take
advantage of this feature. The loghost can be the Sun Management
Center 3.0 system. Making the Sun Management Center 3.0 system
the loghost simplifies the infrastructure and speeds up the log-
scanning facility of the Sun Management Center 3.0 software.
There are two types of log files that you can capture: one type is for
the platform and one type is for each configured domain.
●
Configuring Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
parameters
The system controller supports the SNMP protocol. By default, the
SNMP agent is disabled. If you want the system controller to
respond to the SNMP queries, you must enable the SNMP agent and
configure SNMP specific parameters.
●
Configuring the segment mode
Sun Fire platforms support multiple segments (partitions). By
default, the systems are placed in single segment mode. If you want
the systems to be configured as multiple segments, you must enable
dual segment mode.
●
Defining the access control lists (ACLs)
●
Add any Capacity on Demand 2.0 licenses
●
Setting a platform shell password
The platform shell provides password protection for platform-wide
configuration variables.
Note –
The Sun Fire shells provide help for running commands within the
shell. The
help
command, without arguments, lists all available
commands in the system controller.
When an argument is supplied, the
help
command displays basic usage
of the command specified and a short description.
Many commands are accessible from both the platform shell and the
domain shell. However, the scope of the command is different depending
on whether you execute the command from a platform shell or domain
shell.
