Management Environment
Sun Blade Server Module Service Processor (SP)
  • The SP is not a separate card. It is embedded on the motherboard.
  • The SP is installed with Integrated Lights-Out Manager (ILOM 3.0).
  • The SP provides one 10/100 Management Ethernet Port to Midplane and the Chassis Monitoring Module (CMM).
  • ILOM on the SP card can be accessed via the Dongle cable assembly.
    • The three-cable (X4622A) dongle cable option can be used to connect to ILOM using the Universal Connector Port (UCP) on the front of the Sun Blade X6270 M2.
    • Use the RJ-45 serial connector on the 3-cable dongle to connect to ILOM via the UCP.
  • The SP card and LOM provide the following:
    • Remote management with full Keyboard, Mouse, Video, Storage (KVMS) redirection.
    • Remove media capability (floppy, DVD, CD etc.).
    • DMTF style CLI.
    • Browser-based UI for control of the system through a graphical interface.
    • IPMI 2.0 compliance for management and control.
    • SNMP V1, V2c, V3 for system monitoring.
    • Monitor and report system and component status on all FRUs.
Standard Integrated Interfaces
Universal Connector Port (UCP) The Dongle Cable assembly connects to the UCP and provides the following:
  • Connection to ILOM SP.
  • 2 USB 2.0 ports.
  • VGA video connection to an on-board AST2100 graphics chip.
Network Management Two 10/100Base-T Ethernet connection via midplane to the CMM. Only one connection (NET 0) is used.
Ethernet Two 10/100/1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet ports provided by the network express modules (NEMs) installed in the chassis.
The lower NEM port is NET 0 and the upper NEM port is NET 1.
PCI Interfaces with the Sun Blade Modular System (chassis)
  • I/O is offered in two form factors:
    • PCI Express ExpressModules (EM)
      and
    • PCI Express Network Express Modules (NEM).
  • Each Sun Blade X6270 M2 has four, PCI Express Gen 2 links allocated to:
    • Two EMs (X8)
      and
    • Two NEMs (X8).
  • Each NEM has one link assigned to each server module. All server modules share the NEM. For example, Blade 0 has access to NEM 0/slot 0, and NEM 1/slot 0. Blade 1 to NEM 0/slot 1 and NEM 1/slot 1, etc.
  • EM slots are not shared between server modules. Each EM slot is specific to one server module.
