ALOM wont work when KVM connected to Sun Fire V440 server
Hi,
I was asked to connect a KVM screen to a Sun Fire V440 last night so I connected it up but no joy and nothing on the KVM screen. I was told that a reboot may fix the problem so connected to the ALOM and rebooted. On the plus side, the KVM screen now works but I lost the ALOM connection.
On the ALOM output (console -f) I can watch the server start to boot and then ithangs halfway through. The last ALOM messages I see before it freezes include one about probing IDE devices and then I get an error about USB device.
I saw another post on here for someone which had the same problem but it doesn't say how it was fixed. console -f not working in ALOM
Is there a way of getting the ALOM and KVM screen up and running together? At the moment it's either one or the other.
Hi,
I have a Sun Fire V440 server that fails to boot up correctly. A lot of services are not started and the sytems acts really slow to commands. During boot I can see the following Error:

Hi,
I have a SUN Fire V440 server running Solaris 8. One of the 4 disks do not appear when issued the format command. The "ready to remove" LED is not on either.
Metastat command warns that this disk "Needs maintenace". Can I just shutdown and power off the machine and then insert an... (5 Replies)

I have bought from eBay a second hand Sun Fire V210 server and I'm really stumped at the lack of complete instructions on how to connect to it.
I don't have a Windows machine, I've only got Ubuntu and OS X computers. None of them have an old RS-232 port on them either.
In saying that, I have... (12 Replies)
Dear Team,
I need some expert advice to my problem.
We have a Sun Fire v440 in our customer Place. Server is working fine and no hardware deviations are found except one problem that processors generating too much heat. I have verified and found that the room temperature was 26-27 degree.... (5 Replies)
Hi:
I bougth an used Sun Fire v440, and It have a firmware password. When I turn on the server, it ask for firmware password. (I don 't know what is the correct password). I can access to SC, but when I want to access to OBP, Firmware Password appears again. I remove the battery for two hours,... (1 Reply)
Hello,
I am seeing error messages in V440 (OS = solaris 8). I have copied here :
The system does not reboot constantly and it is up for last 67 days. One more interesting thing I found, I see errors start appearing at 4:52AM last until 6am and again start at 16:52am on same day..

First of all it's shut down 60 second after power on and write on console :
SC Alert: Correct SCC not replaced - shutting managed system down!
This is cured by moving out battery from ALOM card.
Now server start to loop during the testing.
That's on the console:

Hello,
I hope you can help me. I am new to Sun servers and we have a Sun Fire v440 server in which one power supply failed, we are waiting for new one. But now our server is shutting down constantly. Is there any setting with which we can prevent this behaviour? (1 Reply)
Got an curious issue.
I applied 109147-39 to, oh 15 or so various systems all running Jumpstarted Solaris 8. When I hit the first two V440s, they both failed with Return code 139. All non shell commands segfaulted from then on.
The patch modified mainly the linker libraries and commands.

PERF-KVM(1) perf Manual PERF-KVM(1)NAME
perf-kvm - Tool to trace/measure kvm guest os
SYNOPSIS
perf kvm [--host] [--guest] [--guestmount=<path>
[--guestkallsyms=<path> --guestmodules=<path> | --guestvmlinux=<path>]]
{top|record|report|diff|buildid-list}
perf kvm [--host] [--guest] [--guestkallsyms=<path> --guestmodules=<path>
| --guestvmlinux=<path>] {top|record|report|diff|buildid-list|stat}
'perf kvm stat [record|report|live] [<options>]
DESCRIPTION
There are a couple of variants of perf kvm:
'perf kvm [options] top <command>' to generates and displays
a performance counter profile of guest os in realtime
of an arbitrary workload.
'perf kvm record <command>' to record the performance counter profile
of an arbitrary workload and save it into a perf data file. If both
--host and --guest are input, the perf data file name is perf.data.kvm.
If there is no --host but --guest, the file name is perf.data.guest.
If there is no --guest but --host, the file name is perf.data.host.
'perf kvm report' to display the performance counter profile information
recorded via perf kvm record.
'perf kvm diff' to displays the performance difference amongst two perf.data
files captured via perf record.
'perf kvm buildid-list' to display the buildids found in a perf data file,
so that other tools can be used to fetch packages with matching symbol tables
for use by perf report.
'perf kvm stat <command>' to run a command and gather performance counter
statistics.
Especially, perf 'kvm stat record/report' generates a statistical analysis
of KVM events. Currently, vmexit, mmio and ioport events are supported.
'perf kvm stat record <command>' records kvm events and the events between
start and end <command>.
And this command produces a file which contains tracing results of kvm
events.
'perf kvm stat report' reports statistical data which includes events
handled time, samples, and so on.
'perf kvm stat live' reports statistical data in a live mode (similar to
record + report but with statistical data updated live at a given display
rate).
OPTIONS -i, --input=
Input file name.
-o, --output
Output file name.
--host=
Collect host side performance profile.
--guest=
Collect guest side performance profile.
--guestmount=<path>
Guest os root file system mount directory. Users mounts guest os root directories under <path> by a specific filesystem access method,
typically, sshfs. For example, start 2 guest os. The one's pid is 8888 and the other's is 9999. #mkdir /guestmount; cd/guestmount
#sshfs -o allow_other,direct_io -p 5551 localhost:/ 8888/ #sshfs -o allow_other,direct_io -p 5552 localhost:/ 9999/ #perf kvm --host
--guest --guestmount=~/guestmount top
--guestkallsyms=<path>
Guest os /proc/kallsyms file copy. perf kvm' reads it to get guest kernel symbols. Users copy it out from guest os.
--guestmodules=<path>
Guest os /proc/modules file copy. perf kvm' reads it to get guest kernel module information. Users copy it out from guest os.
--guestvmlinux=<path>
Guest os kernel vmlinux.

-m, --mmap-pages=
Number of mmap data pages. Must be a power of two.

System-wide collection from all CPUs.
-p, --pid=
Analyze events only for given process ID(s) (comma separated list).
--vcpu=<value>

--event=<value>
event to be analyzed. Possible values: vmexit, mmio, ioport. (default: vmexit)

Sorting key. Possible values: sample (default, sort by samples number), time (sort by average time).
