TABLE C-1LOM Configuration File Parameters (Continued)

Field

Format

Default

Effect

 

 

 

 

serial_timeout=

Multiples

0

Specifies the idle period after

 

of 4 secs

 

which the LOM device gives

 

 

 

control of the Serial A/LOM

 

 

 

port back to the console when it

 

 

 

has finished sending a report.

 

 

 

By default, there is no delay at

 

 

 

all. If you enable the

 

 

 

serial_return= option , the

 

 

 

serial_timeout= option

 

 

 

specifies the period that the

 

 

 

LOM waits after each LOMlite

 

 

 

command before giving control

 

 

 

of the Serial A/LOM port back

 

 

 

to the console. By default, there

 

 

 

is no delay.

serial_return=

Boolean

0

Causes the LOM to return the

 

0=FALSE

 

user to the console from the

 

1=TRUE

 

lom> prompt after each LOM

 

 

 

shell command. You can use

 

 

 

this option in conjunction with

 

 

 

the serial_timeout= option.

reporting_level=

Number

3

The severity level down to

 

between 0

 

which you want to see LOM

 

and 4

 

event reports. 0 means no

 

 

 

reports. 1 means Fatal event

 

 

 

reports only. 2 means Fatal and

 

 

 

Warning event reports. 3 means

 

 

 

Fatal, Warning and Information

 

 

 

event reports. 4 means Fatal,

 

 

 

Warning, Information and User

 

 

 

event reports. (User event

 

 

 

reports concern the user

security facility, you will not see any unless you have enabled the security facility and set up users.)

Each parameter must be on a separate line and must befollowed by an equals sign (=) and a value, without spaces. Where the format is Boolean, 1 means true and 0 means false.

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.
