Reconfiguring a Device Manually You can use the OpenBoot asr-enable command to reconfigure any device that you previously unconfigured with the asr-disable command. ▼ To Reconfigure a Device Manually 1. At the ok prompt, type: ok asr-enable device-identifier where the device-identifier is one of the following: ■ ■ ■ Any full physical device path as reported by the OpenBoot show-devs command Any valid device alias as reported by the OpenBoot devalias command Any device identifier from the following table Note – The device identifiers are not case-sensitive. You can type them as uppercase or lowercase characters. For a list of device identifiers and devices, see TABLE 5-1. Enabling the Hardware Watchdog Mechanism and Its Options For background information about the hardware watchdog mechanism and related externally initiated reset (XIR) functionality, see: ■ “Hardware Watchdog Mechanism and XIR” on page 96 108 Sun Fire V445 Server Administration Guide • August 2006
▼ To Enable the Hardware Watchdog Mechanism and Its Options 1. Edit the /etc/system file to include the following entry: set watchdog_enable = 1 2. Obtain the ok prompt by typing the following: # init 0 3. Reboot the system so that the changes can take effect. 4. To have the hardware watchdog mechanism automatically reboot the system in case of system hangs. At the ok prompt, type the following: ok setenv error-reset-recovery = boot 5. To generate automated crash dumps in case of system hangs. At the ok prompt, type the following: ok setenv error-reset-recovery = none The sync option leaves you at the ok prompt to debug the system. For more information about OpenBoot configuration variables, see Appendix C. About Multipathing Software Multipathing software allows you to define and control redundant physical paths to I/O devices, such as storage devices and network interfaces. If the active path to a device becomes unavailable, the software can automatically switch to an alternate path to maintain availability. This capability is known as automatic failover. To take advantage of multipathing capabilities, you must configure the server with redundant hardware, such as redundant network interfaces or two host bus adapters connected to the same dual-ported storage array. For the Sun Fire V445 server, three different types of multipathing software are available: Chapter 5 Managing RAS Features and System Firmware 109
