C.2 Configuring the LOM Device Driver

The full list of parameters you can set in this file is given in TABLE C-1.

TABLE C-1LOM Configuration File Parameters

Field

Format

Default

Effect

 

 

 

 

wdog_reset=

Boolean

0

Causes the LOM to reset the

 

0=FALSE

 

server after a watchdog timeout.

 

1=TRUE

 

Setting this to 1 is equivalent to

 

 

 

using the lom -R on command

 

 

 

described in Chapter 9.

wdog_alarm3=

Boolean

0

Turns on software alarm 3 when

 

0=FALSE

 

the LOM watchdog times out.

 

1=TRUE

 

 

serial_events=

0=OFF

2

Causes the LOM to report

 

1=ON

 

events over the serial

 

2=ON

 

connection. Setting this

 

WHEN

 

parameter to 0 means that no

 

DRIVER

 

events will be reported over the

 

NOT

 

serial connection. Setting it to 1

 

LOADED

 

means that events will be

 

 

 

reported over the serial

 

 

 

connection as well as to

 

 

 

syslogd; this is equivalent to

 

 

 

lom -E on. If you have

 

 

 

dedicated the Serial A/LOM

 

 

 

port to the LOM device, you

 

 

 

need to set this parameter to 1.

 

 

 

It ensures that you receive all

 

 

 

event reports at the terminal

 

 

 

you have connected to Serial

 

 

 

A/LOM. Finally, setting the

 

 

 

parameter to 2 means that

 

 

 

events will be reported over the

 

 

 

serial connection, but only

 

 

 

when the driver is not running

 

 

 

(when it is running they will be

 

 

 

reported to syslogd).

disable_wdog_on_break=

Boolean

1

Causes the LOM to disable its

 

0=FALSE

 

watchdog if it detects a break

 

1=TRUE

 

signal on the Serial A/LOM

 

 

 

port.

V120, 120 specifications

Sun Microsystems' V120 and 120 servers emerged as robust solutions in the early 2000s, catering primarily to small to medium-sized enterprises and branch offices. These servers were built to deliver reliable performance, ease of use, and efficient resource management, making them appealing choices for organizations aiming to balance performance with budgetary constraints.

One of the standout features of the Sun V120 server was its UltraSPARC III processor architecture. This powerful processing capability provided substantial improvements in processing power and energy efficiency, allowing users to run demanding applications and serve multiple users without a hitch. The UltraSPARC III architecture supported a 64-bit computing environment, enabling better memory utilization and rapid execution of high-volume transactions.

In terms of memory, the V120 could accommodate up to 32GB of DDR SDRAM. This significant memory capacity allowed for enhanced performance in data-intensive applications, facilitating smoother multitasking and reduced response times. The server supported dynamic reconfigurability, which meant system resources could be adjusted on-the-fly without shutting down operations, thus ensuring minimal downtime.

Storage solutions on the V120 were flexible and optimized for various requirements. The server offered options for internal hard drives for local storage, as well as configurations that supported external storage systems, providing users with a variety of scalability options. The inclusion of multiple SCSI and IDE interfaces allowed for better integration with existing IT infrastructure.

Networking capabilities in the V120 included integrated Ethernet interfaces, which supported both Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet options. This ensured seamless connectivity and sufficient bandwidth for network applications, while the server’s compact design made it easy to deploy within existing setups.

As for its operating systems, the V120 was compatible with Solaris, Sun's flagship UNIX-based operating system, which was celebrated for its scalability and reliability. Organizations could also run Linux distributions, further broadening the server's appeal and making it versatile for varied workloads.

Additionally, the V120’s design prioritized energy efficiency, which helped companies reduce operating costs and their environmental footprint. The server’s compact form factor allowed for efficient cooling and reduced space requirements.

In conclusion, the Sun V120 server, alongside the V120 model, represented a marriage of advanced technology, expansive features, and flexible deployment options. It provided businesses with a dependable platform for various applications, establishing itself as a valuable tool for organizations looking to leverage the power of enterprise computing without exorbitant costs.
