Solution 1619726.1 : New T4-1B Blades Are Not Communicating With SB6000 Chassis.

Applies to:

Sun Blade 6000 System - Version All Versions to All Versions [Release All Releases]
SPARC

Symptoms

Not able to start cli on newly added Blades in SB6000 chassis.

Cause

The issue occurs when newly added Blades with the ILOM version 3.1.x are added to a chassis running ILOM 3.0.

The new Blades are 8.4.0.a, ILOM version 3.2.1.5, which has had some changes.
The major change is that the start cli command was done away with.

Major change in ILOM 3.1.x version

Solution

1. Upgrade of the original blades and chassis is recommended.

2. Use 2 methods to power on and start the Blades
The newly installed Blades with ILOM version 3.1.x will need to use a new procedure.
-> start cli is not used anymore.

The new syntax to access and start the Blade from the CMM is:
-> cd /CH/BLx (x=blade slot#)
-> show

/CH/BLx/
Targets:
HOST
System
SP

-> start System

Then:
-> start HOST/console (to access the console)
