Sun Rack 900
All of the Sun Fire V60x Compute Grid components and cabling are preinstalled in a
Sun™ Rack 900. This rack is equipped with front and rear doors, and side covers.
All Sun Fire V60x Compute Grid cables are precut, routed, and terminated in
locations that provide minimal excess cable without impeding component access or
replacement.
The Sun Fire V60x Compute Grid is equipped with a full configuration of power
distribution units and power sequencer units, which provide sufficient power outlets
to cable all installed nodes. Each node has a separate 110/220 VAC power cord. The
power cords are routed from the rear, with side-mounted outlet strips to minimize
the impact on rear access to the components in the rack. There is minimal increase in
load during rack power-on because all nodes are sequenced on in turn, minimizing
the amplitude of power-on current spikes.
Note – The four power cords that connect each rack to the AC outlets at your site
must be ordered separately so that the correct connectors for your location are
defined.
For more detailed information about the Sun Rack 900, refer to the Sun Rack
documentation set that is shipped with your Sun Fire V60x Compute Grid.
Network Switches
The Sun Fire V60x Compute Grid uses two 24-port Gigabit Ethernet switches to
communicate with the network. Each of the Sun Fire V60x nodes is connected from
its Eth1 port to a switch port using a Cat 5 Ethernet cable. You can optionally
dedicate up to four of each switch’s ports to fiber-optic gigabit interface converters
(GBICs).
The two network switches in each rack are interconnected with preinstalled, 1.8-feet
(.5-meter), 32-Gbps stacking cables connected to their stacking ports. Each network
switch has two stacking ports on its rear panel (the rear panel of the network switch
faces the front of the system rack). When you order a system with multiple racks, the
network switches must be interconnected across the racks. You can order 9.8-feet
(3-meter) stacking cables for this purpose. See “Multiple-Rack System” on page 9 for
more information.
For more detailed information about the network switches, refer to the third-party
switch documentation that is shipped with your Sun Fire V60x Compute Grid.Chapter 1 Sun Fire V60x Compute Grid Rack System Hardware Overview and Installation 5
Terminal Server
All nodes in the rack and the network switches are connected via their serial console
ports to a 48-port terminal server. The terminal server ports use consistent RJ-45
serial port wiring standards.
The terminal server can then be used to perform individual configuration functions
remotely, if this is necessary. The terminal server provides normal Telnet access to a
serial port using the telnet IP-address port-number protocol.
For more detailed information about the terminal server, refer to the third-party
terminal server documentation that is shipped with your Sun Fire V60x Compute
Grid.
The terminal server ports are assigned Telnet port numbers at the factory. TABLE 1-1
describes the port allocations.
Cluster Grid Manager Node
One node in the system, called the Cluster Grid Manager (CGM) node, acts as a
deployment and management host. After it is configured and given an identity by
your system administrator, the CGM node deploys software and monitors system
activities for the entire compute grid. In addition, it monitors the status of the grid
jobs by communicating with the grid master node.
The CGM node is pre-installed with the operating system and Cluster Grid Manager
software modules that enable the CGM node to act as the management host. For
more detailed information about the system software components, see “Sun Fire
V60x Compute Grid Software Components Overview” on page 16.
Note – The CGM node is identifiable by a label on the front bezel that is marked,
“Sun Fire CGM.”

33 Cluster Grid Manager node 7033
32 to 1 Compute nodes 7032 to 70016 Sun Fire V60x Compute Grid Rack System Installation Guide • October 2003
Grid Master Node
Your system administrator designates one node in the system to be the grid master
node. This can be any node in the system other than the CGM node, because it is a
dedicated management node rather than a managed host. All grid processes interact
through this node, which typically acts as the queue master responsible for
distributing jobs to the grid compute nodes.
If you install multiple rack configurations, no additional grid master nodes are
needed; the grid master node of the first rack manages all subsequent racks.
Compute Nodes
The grid compute nodes act as slave nodes to the grid master node. The compute
nodes accept tasks from the grid master node, process them to completion, then pass
the results back to the grid master node for accumulation.
The number of compute nodes in the rack can be configured when the system is
ordered. A fully configured rack can contain 32 compute nodes, including the grid
master node. The minimum number of grid compute nodes that are supported is 2
and the maximum number is 128 (in 4 racks).
Keyboard, Video, Mouse Unit
A keyboard, video monitor, and mouse (KVM) unit is included in the rack system
and is precabled to the CGM node. This KVM is used for the initial configuration
process by which the CGM node is configured with an IP address. After the initial
configuration, the CGM node can be accessed through a remote serial connection to
the terminal server.Chapter 1 Sun Fire V60x Compute Grid Rack System Hardware Overview and Installation 7
Cabling Information
The Sun Fire V60x Compute Grid is shipped with all required cables already
installed, routed, and connected in a cable harness assembly.
The cables are labelled to make it easy to reconnect them if any come loose during
shipping, or if components are subsequently replaced. Each cable-end is labeled with
the device and port that it should connect to. For example, an Ethernet cable that
connects Sun Fire V60x node #1 to network switch number one would have one end
labeled, “V60x_1 eth0,” and the other end labeled, “Switch1 1.”
Serial cables used for terminal server connections are RJ-45 to RJ-45 rollover cables
(8-core, Cat 5 type Ethernet). Network cables used for network switch connections
are RJ-45 to RJ-45 straight cables (8-core, Cat 5/5e type Ethernet). See TABLE 1-2 for
the wiring specifications for the two types of cables.

switch has two stacking ports on its rear panel (the rear panel of the network switch
faces the front of the system rack). Refer to the network switch documentation that is
shipped with your system for more information about switch stacking.
When you order a system with multiple racks, the network switches must be
interconnected across the racks. You can order 9.8-feet (3-meter) stacking cables for
this purpose.
The diagram in FIGURE 1-4 represents a system with four fully-populated racks and a
suggested stacking-cable configuration. The network switches and their stacking
ports are represented. This configuration would enable interconnection of the data in
all racks and enable an aggregated uplink to the network from the base rack.

The installation site must meet specified requirements, which are described during
the sales process with your organization. For reference, the environmental
requirements are described in Appendix A.
1. Verify that your installation site complies with the environmental specifications as
described in Appendix A.
Site-planning specifications are discussed as a part of the sales process, but are
included in this guide for reference and verification.
2. Unpack each system rack from its shipping carton and position it at the
installation location.
Refer to the “Sun Rack Unpacking Instructions” (816-6385), which is shipped with
your system.
3. Mount each system rack, level the rack feet, and install the anti-tilt bar to the rack
as desired.
Refer to the “Sun Rack Installation Guide” (816-6386), which is shipped with your
system.
4. Check that all preinstalled cable connections between system components are
firmly connected.
The cables are labelled to make it easy to reconnect them if any come loose during
shipping, or if components are subsequently replaced. Each cable-end is labeled with
the device and port that it should connect to. For example, an Ethernet cable that
connects Sun Fire V60x node #1 to network switch number one would have one end
labeled, “V60x_1 eth0,” and the other end labeled, “Switch1 1.”
5. Connect each system rack to four power outlets at your installation site, as
follows.
The system rack’s power distribution system consists of four inputs (two sets of two:
AC_Grid_0 and AC_Grid_1), two power sequencers (A and B), two power strips,
and connecting cables. See FIGURE 1-5 for a diagram.
Each power input to the rack should be connected to a dedicated 20 Amp (North
America) or 16 Amp (International) branch circuit. Individual outlets are grouped
into sets of four.
Each individual rack outlet has a maximum current rating of 10 Amps. However,
each outlet group has a maximum current rating of 10 Amps also. In other words,
the total current for a group of four outlets cannot exceed 10 Amps.Chapter 1 Sun Fire V60x Compute Grid Rack System Hardware Overview and Installation 11

Deploying Software Payloads to Compute Nodes
After you have created clients to which you will deploy payloads, you start the
deployment by powering on or resetting the client nodes.
1. In a terminal window, telnet to the terminal server IP address and port that
corresponds to the node to which you are deploying software.
# telnet n.n.n.n 70xx
Where n.n.n.n is the IP address of the terminal server and xx is the two-digit number
that corresponds to the number of the node to which you are deploying software
(see the following note).
Note – The nodes of the system are assigned a number in the factory and this
number is indicated by a label on each node. The ports of the terminal server are
assigned a four-digit number that always starts with 70 and ends with the two-digit
number that corresponds to the node the port is attached to at the factory. For
example, node #2 is attached to port 7002 and node #30 is attached to port 7030.
2. Power on or reset the client node to start the deployment of the payload that was
selected in the client profile.
If the node contains no OS yet, power on the node by pressing the Power button.
The node automatically boots from the network and pulls the payload from the
CGM node.
If an OS was previously installed on the node, perform the following steps:
a. Press the Reset button on the node (see FIGURE 2-25).
b. When a prompt appears with the option to press F2 to enter setup, press Escape
to initiate a network boot.
c. When you are prompted to select the boot device, select
IBA 1.1.08 slot 0338 and press Return.
The client node pulls the payload from the CGM node.
FIGURE 2-25 Sun Fire V60x Server Power and Reset Button Locations

3. Wait until the deployment progress indicator messages are finished and the
terminal window returns to a login prompt.
4. When you are finished downloading the payload to the client node, reboot the
client node (if it does not reboot automatically).
Repeat this procedure for each client node to which you are deploying software.
Adding Compute Nodes as SCS Managed Hosts
Use the following procedure to define the compute nodes of your system as SCS
managed hosts.
Note – Before you can deploy the Sun ONE Grid Engine, Enterprise Edition
software to the system compute nodes so that they can be managed as a grid, you
must first add the nodes as Sun Control Station managed hosts.
Note – You cannot add the CGM node as an SCS managed host because it is the
dedicated management node of the system, from which SCS managed hosts are
managed.
1. In the Cluster Grid Manager main window, select Administration > Hosts from
the left-side panel.
The Managed Hosts window appears on the right side of the screen.
2. In the Managed Hosts window, click Add.
The Add Host window appears.
3. In the Add Host window, define the settings for the node that you are defining as
an SCS managed host. See FIGURE 2-26 for an example.
4. Verify that the Install All Possible Modules box is selected.
This ensures that all of the SCS agents are installed on the newly managed host.Chapter 2 Sun Fire V60x Compute Grid Rack System Software Overview and Installation 51

FIGURE 2-27 Managed Hosts Window
7. Repeat this procedure for all compute nodes in your system.Chapter 2 Sun Fire V60x Compute Grid Rack System Software Overview and Installation 53
Configuring the Grid Engine Module
The Compute Grid software module provides the following main functions.
Deployment of the Sun™ ONE Grid Engine, Enterprise Edition (S1GEEE)
High-level monitoring of system tasks
Uninstall of the S1GEEE software
Note – Before you can manage the compute nodes of your system with S1GEEE
software, you must add the nodes as SCS managed hosts. See “Adding Compute
Nodes as SCS Managed Hosts” on page 50.
Deploying the Sun ONE Grid Engine Software
The Grid Engine module automatically deploys S1GEEE to any number of selected
nodes on the compute grid. It deploys the S1GEEE master host onto a grid master
node of your choosing (see “Grid Master Node” on page 6), and then deploys
S1GEEE execution hosts onto specified compute nodes (see “Compute Nodes” on
page 6). You can also choose to uninstall an execution host at a later time, or
uninstall all hosts, including the master host. You can then later reinstall a host on
any systems.
Note – The Grid Engine module deploys only a dedicated S1GEEE master host
system. Unless you plan to have relatively low job throughput on your grid, it is not
recommended to use the S1GEEE master host system also as an execution host.
However, if you would like to make use of the CPUs on the grid master node to
perform compute tasks, you can manually deploy S1GEEE execution host software
onto the grid master node.
If you wish to remove this functionality at a later point, this must also be done
manually. (However, if you choose to uninstall all systems, it is not necessary to
remove the execution host functionality from the grid master node before
uninstalling all systems.) These procedures are recommend only for experienced
S1GEEE users. For more information, S1GEEE documentation can be accessed with
the Cluster Grid Manager help button.54 Sun Fire V60x Compute Grid Rack System Installation Guide • October 2003
Defining the Sun ONE Grid Engine Master Host
To use the Grid Engine module to deploy a S1GEEE master host (grid master node),
perform the following steps.
1. In the Cluster Grid Manager main window, click on the Grid Engine menu item in
the left-hand menu.
A drop-down menu of choices for the Grid Engine module appears.
2. Click on Install Master.

FIGURE 2-28 for an example.
FIGURE 2-28 Install Sun ONE Grid Engine Master WindowChapter 2 Sun Fire V60x Compute Grid Rack System Software Overview and Installation 55
5. Click on Install.
A progress bar indicates the progress of the S1GEEE software deployment to the
node.
Note – You can define only one grid master node for each system (including
expansion racks with up to 128 nodes). If you try to install a second grid master
node, the system instructs you to first uninstall the current grid master node.
6. When the progress bar indicates 100%, click Done.
The browser is directed to the Install Sun ONE Grid Engine Compute Hosts window.
Defining the Sun ONE Grid Engine Compute Hosts
To use the Grid Engine module to define S1GEEE compute hosts (compute nodes),
perform the following steps.
Note – You can only install execution hosts after installing a master host. If you try
to install execution hosts without first defining a master host, the system instructs
you to first install the master host.
1. In the Cluster Grid Manager main window, click on the Grid Engine menu item in
the left-hand menu.
A drop-down menu of choices for the Grid Engine module appears.
2. Click on Install Host.
The Install Sun ONE Grid Engine Compute Hosts window appears.
3. Select the nodes that you want to include in the S1GEEE grid.
Unless you want to dedicate a system for non-grid tasks, select all systems by
clicking Select All. See FIGURE 2-29 for an example.56 Sun Fire V60x Compute Grid Rack System Installation Guide • October 2003
FIGURE 2-29 Install Sun ONE Grid Engine Compute Hosts Window
4. Click on Install.
The S1GEEE software is deployed to each selected node in sequence and a progress
bar indicates the progress of the software deployment.
5. When the progress bar indicates 100%, click Done.
When you are finished with installing, your browser is redirected to the Grid Engine
Monitor page (see “Monitoring Compute Grid Tasks” on page 57).
If, at a later point, you wish to add more nodes to the S1GEEE grid, you can return
to the Install Compute Hosts page by clicking on the Grid Engine > Install Compute
Hosts menu item in the left-side panel.Chapter 2 Sun Fire V60x Compute Grid Rack System Software Overview and Installation 57
Monitoring Compute Grid Tasks
When you are finished with installation procedure, your browser is redirected to the
Monitor page. From this page, you can view various S1GEEE statistics on your Sun
Fire V60x Compute Grid. These include:
The number of pending, running, and suspended jobs
The load on each execution host
The current statistics for each queue that has been configured
The average load across all compute nodes in the grid, and the used and total
memory across all nodes in the grid
The Monitor page is automatically refreshed every two minutes. The information on
the page is drawn from a database that is updated every two minutes. For every
statistic, a time stamp is given to indicate when the statistic was last updated.
You can always return to the Monitor page by clicking the Grid Engine > Monitor
menu item in the left-side panel. See FIGURE 2-2 for a sample Monitor window.
FIGURE 2-30 Grid Engine Monitor Window58 Sun Fire V60x Compute Grid Rack System Installation Guide • October 2003
Uninstalling Sun ONE Grid Engine Software
You can uninstall Sun ONE Grid Engine software, either from individual S1GEEE
execution hosts, or from all hosts in the S1GEEE grid, including the S1GEEE master
host.
Note – You cannot uninstall only the S1GEEE master host, since it is not possible to
operate S1GEEE execution hosts without an S1GEEE master host.
After you have uninstalled an S1GEEE execution host, Sun Fire V60x Compute Grid
tasks are no longer sent to that node for execution. However, the other installed
modules, such as Inventory, Health, and Performance, continue to operate as before.
Any other software that has been installed on that system should also continue to
operate normally.
Uninstalling One or More Sun ONE Grid Engine Execution Hosts
1. In the Cluster Grid Manager main window, click on the Grid Engine module
menu item in the left-hand menu.
A drop-down menu of choices for the Grid Engine module appears.
2. Click on Uninstall Nodes.
3. Select one or more nodes from which to uninstall S1GEEE software.
4. Ensure that no jobs are running on the systems to be uninstalled.
Refer to Sun Grid Engine, Enterprise Edition 5.3 Administration and User’s Guide (816-
4739) for instructions on managing queues.
Note – Any jobs that are currently running on the nodes that you have selected for
uninstall are terminated. If the jobs are marked as “re-runnable”, they are
automatically resubmitted to the S1GEEE grid for execution elsewhere. However, if
they are marked as “not re-runnable,” then they are not rescheduled and are not
automatically run elsewhere. For more information, S1GEEE documentation can be
accessed with the Cluster Grid Manager help button.
5. Click on Uninstall.
The S1GEEE software is shutdown and removed from the selected systems, and the
S1GEEE master host is instructed to remove those execution hosts from the S1GEEE
system.Chapter 2 Sun Fire V60x Compute Grid Rack System Software Overview and Installation 59

1. Create a /usr/mgmt/diag directory on your CGM node by typing the following
command:
# mkdir /usr/mgmt/diag
2. Copy and extract the scripts tar file from the Cluster Grid manager Software
Recovery CD to your CGM node by typing the following commands:
# cp /mnt/cdrom/customerdiag1.2.tar /usr/mgmt/diag
# cd /usr/mgmt/diag
# tar -xvf customerdiag1.2.tar
3. Remove the Cluster Grid manager Software Recovery CD from your CGM node
after you type the following command:
# umount /dev/cdrom
Note – After you install the custom scripts, you can use them to automate several of
the more redundant SCS AllStart software deployment activities. The procedures in
the following sections describe how to use the scripts, but they are optional and
recommended for advanced users.16 Sun Fire V60x Compute Grid Rack System Release Notes • October 2003
Using Scripts to Automate Installation
Tasks
This section contains procedures that describe how to use scripts that are included
on the Cluster Grid Manager Software Recovery CD. These scripts can be used to
automate some of the redundant tasks that are required when using the SCS AllStart
module to deploy software to the compute nodes.
You should first review the basic AllStart module procedures in the Sun Fire V60x
Compute Grid Rack System Installation Guide (817-3072) before you use these procedures.
Note – You must first install the scripts, as described in “Installing Custom Scripts
For Advanced Users” on page 15.
Using Scripts to Recreate a Lost check.out File
When your system is manufactured, a file named check.out is created on the CGM
node that lists the MAC addresses for all the nodes in your system. If this file is lost
for any reason, you can use one of the custom scripts as described in this procedure
to recreate the check.out file.
1. Type the following commands to run the script:
# cd /usr/mgmt/diag
# ./config -c n.n.n.n check TS-port-numbers
Where n.n.n.n is the IP address of the system’s terminal server and TS-port-numbers
is a range or list of terminal server ports to which compute nodes are connected. For
example, 1-32 would denote the range for a fully configured, 32-node system. If your
system is not fully configured, your TS-port-numbers value might look like 1,2,4,6-16.
2. Reset each compute node by pressing the Reset button on each node’s front panel.
As each node resets, it will provide output of MAC addresses to a file named
/usr/mgmt/diag/customer_check.out.Sun Fire V60x Compute Grid Rack System Release Notes 17
Using Scripts to Auto-Populate the AllStart
Clients List
Perform the following procedure to use the MAC addresses from your
customer_check.out file to auto-populate the AllStart Clients list.
Note – Use this procedure after you have already used AllStart to create your
Distribution, Payload, and Profile, as described in the Sun Fire V60x Compute Grid
Rack System Installation Guide (817-3072).
1. Type the following commands to run the script:
# cd /usr/mgmt/diag
# ./as_mac.pl -i NODE_BASE_IP -f customer_check.out
Where NODE_BASE_IP is the base, or starting IP address for your node range. All
nodes have their IP addresses incremented by one, following this lowest IP address.
The script uses the MAC addresses in the customer_check.out file to populate
the AllStart Clients list. Allstart adds clients, starting with NODE_BASE_IP, for each
MAC address in the customer_check.out file, up to, but not including, the CGM
node.
2. Verify that the clients were added by looking at the AllStart Clients list. At the
Cluster Grid Manager main window, click on AllStart > Clients.
All of the new clients should be listed, although they have no payload or profile
associated with them yet.
3. Modify the clients that you just created to associate them with the AllStart
deployment you are creating, as follows:
a. On the AllStart Clients window, click Select All.
b. Click Modify.
c. Modify the settings for the clients as described in the Sun Fire V60x Compute
Grid Rack System Installation Guide.
When you finish making the settings, you are returned to the AllStart Clients
window.
Note – Be sure to set up the clients settings so that they are associated with the
settings for the distribution, payload, and profiles that you have already created for
this AllStart deployment.
d. In the AllStart Clients window, click Select All.18 Sun Fire V60x Compute Grid Rack System Release Notes • October 2003
e. Click Enable.
All client entries are enabled so that they are visible to the system. Enabled clients
are indicated by a Y character under the Enabled heading on the AllStart Clients
window.
4. Modify the DHCP configurations for the clients as follows:
a. On the Cluster Grid Manager main window, click AllStart > Service.
The AllStart Current Service Settings window appears.
b. Click Modify.
The Modify Service Settings window appears.
c. Verify that the DHCP Enabled box is selected.
d. Click Modify DHCP Info.
e. Select the DHCP subnet and click Edit.
f. Enter the router and DNS server IP addresses for your servers. Do not add
anything to the Network/netmask or IP Range fields.
Using Scripts to Force All Nodes to Network Boot
Use the following procedure to force all nodes to network boot, as required when
you are deploying software to compute nodes.
1. Type the following commands to run the script:
# cd /usr/mgmt/diag
# ./config -c n.n.n.n pxe TS-port-numbers
Note – You must ensure that none of the ports given in the TS-port-numbers node
range are currently in use when you use the command to run this script. The script
must have access to the serial ports of each node to take control of the nodes.
Where n.n.n.n is the IP address of the system’s terminal server and TS-port-numbers
is a range or list of terminal server ports to which compute nodes are connected. For
example, 1-32 would denote the range for a fully configured, 32-node system. If your
system is not fully configured, your TS-port-numbers value might look like 1,2,4,6-16.
2. Reset or power on the nodes by pressing the Reset or Power buttons on the front
panel of each node.
The script causes each node to network boot and pull the software deployment from
the CGM node.Sun Fire V60x Compute Grid Rack System Release Notes 19
Using Scripts to Add All Nodes as SCS Managed
Hosts
Before you can deploy the Sun ONE Grid Engine, Enterprise Edition software to the
system compute nodes so that they can be managed as a grid, you must first add the
nodes as Sun Control Station managed hosts. Perform this procedure to use a script
to add all nodes as SCS managed hosts.
1. Type the following command to create a file named nodelist, which contains the
list of Allstart clients that will be added as SCS managed hosts:
# cd /usr/mgmt/diag
# ./createNodeList.pl > nodelist
2. Type the following command to run the script that adds the clients as SCS
managed hosts and installs the SCS client daemons on them:
Note – Do not run this script in the background. Monitor the progress of the activity
by watching the SCS Administration > Hosts window. Refresh the window until all
the added hosts appear in the list.
# ./devMgrParallel.pl add file nodelist20 Sun Fire V60x Compute Grid Rack System Release Notes • October 2003
Sun ONE Grid Engine Notes
This section contains information about the Sun ONE Grid Engine, Enterprise
Edition (S1GEEE) v 5.3p4 software that is preinstalled on your system’s CGM node.
AllStart Client Host Name Limitations
When you use the SCS AllStart module to create the client nodes to which you will
deploy the software payloads, you are required to enter network interface
information for those clients. In the AllStart Clients > Enter Network Interface
Information window, you must enter the host name for the client node that you are
creating. (See the Sun Fire V60x Compute Grid Rack System Installation Guide for the
full procedure.)
When entering the host name, you cannot use the full host name format, which
would include the domain name. Instead, you must use a short host name format.
For example:
Use this host name format: host1
Do not use this format: host1.mydomain.com
If you use the full host name format, the S1GEEE software cannot resolve the host
name properly and the host (client node) is not able to join the grid or act as the grid
master host.
Grid Engine Settings
When the grid engine is deployed, the following settings are automatically used:
SGE admin user name: sgeadmin
SGE admin user ID: 268
SGE commd TCP port: 536
SGE root directory: /gridware/sge
SGE cell name: default
NFS sharing: the /gridware/sge/default/common directory is NFS-shared
from the designated master host to all other hosts. All other files and directories,
such as binaries and spool directories, are installed locally on all grid hosts.Sun Fire V60x Compute Grid Rack System Release Notes 21
Grid Engine Configuration
When you configure a compute host, one default queue is created for it. The queue
settings are the same as that for a regular (standalone) S1GEEE deployment, with the
exception of the following:
In the Sun Fire V60x Compute Grid environment, the rerunnable parameter is set
to "y". In other words, jobs running in the queue can be restarted on other compute
hosts of the system in certain circumstances; for example, when a compute host is
being removed from the grid.
After you have deployed the grid engine, you can modify the configuration
parameters on the queues that were automatically set up to anything you want, or
even delete the queues entirely.
For details on grid engine settings, refer to the Sun ONE Grid Engine, Enterprise
Edition 5.3 Administration and User’s Guide. This document is accessible through the
Help interface of the SCS software, or at the following URL:
http://www.sun.com/products-n-solutions/
hardware/docs/Software/S1GEEE/index.html22 Sun Fire V60x Compute Grid Rack System Release Notes • October 2003
Important Notes
This section contains information about known issues and considerations regarding
the system and its operation.
Location of Kickstart Files For AllStart Clients
You can verify that your AllStart clients have been correctly configured by checking
for their listing in the /scs/allstart/ksconfig/ directory on your CGM node.
Each compute node that has been configured as an AllStart client is identifiable by
its MAC address, as listed in the following Kickstart file format:
/scs/allstart/ksconfig/ks.MAC-address.cfg
PXE Network Booting Conflict With LAN
Management
When you use the Sun Control Station AllStart module to deploy software from the
CGM node to the compute nodes, you force the target compute node to network
(PXE) boot and pull the software from the CGM node.
The PXE boot process involves UDP network transactions. If the DHCP/PXE server
tries to assign an IP address that already belongs to another locally networked node
that has LAN management enabled, the PXE boot process might fail. Note that even
if the bootloader appears successful, the LAN-managed node might still have
corrupted the transaction.
If you encounter this problem, there are several solutions:
Deactivate LAN management software on the local network before you perform
the PXE booting process.
Assign different IP addresses to the LAN-managed nodes that are in conflict with
the DHCP/PXE server’s assignments.
Do not use the client node’s LAN-managed Ethernet interface; use the other
Ethernet interface. Note that this would require you to reconfigure any Kickstart
information to use the new interface.Sun Fire V60x Compute Grid Rack System Release Notes 23

? Select " Programmable up to (MHz):" as the mode clock on the " Select Video
Card " screen.
? The values that should be set for the " Select Video Card " screen are as follows:
Resolution Refresh Depth Horiz. Sync Mode Clock
1024 x 768 70 Hz 8-32 bpp 56.5 KHz 75 MHz
(When all items except the resolution show " Not available ", set the resolution to
"1024 x 768")
CAUTION
2 2
Keyboard Operation
Full keyboard operation is possible by working with the Fn key.
Pointing Device Operation
Lightly touch or tap the operation surface to operate the pointing device.
Moving the pointer: Just lightly touch the operation surface in the direction you want to
move the cursor.
Single click: Lightly tap the operation surface once, or click the left button once.
Double click: Lightly tap the operation surface twice, or click the left button twice.
1.The pointing device has been designed to be operated with one
finger, do not use it in the following ways:
1) while wearing gloves;
2) with a pen, ballpoint pen or pencil etc;
3) with two or more fingers;
4) operating while something is placed on the operation
surface.
2. Normal operation may become impossible if the operation
surface gets wet such as when there is high humidity or the
operator's hands are damp or sweaty. Thoroughly dry or wipe
the operation surface before use.
3. Do not do operations with pointed metal objects such as pens
as it may damage the pointing device.
CAUTION
2 3
The Hot-key and Reset Buttons
Hot-key Button
Outputs the [Ctrl] + [Alt] + [Shift] key Make/Break code. This will also be the Hot-key
mode (OSD display) when connected to a KVM switch.
Reset Button
Resets the keyboard and mouse.
KVM switch, keyboard and mouse will be reset if connected to a FS-10XX Series
KVM switch.
KVM Switch Reset is only valid with the following series: FS-1004,
1008, and 1016.
Using CRT/KB Switcher
Even if the settings are the same, the image position may be different when using
various types of CRT controllers when setting up multiple servers. Generally
resolution and refresh rate (vertical frequency) are the same for all servers, therefore
just a set of one type of parameters supports these settings, which are stored for the
screen. Displays on other servers are effected by correcting an on-screen image that
has shifted.
To correct shifted displays, change the following settings.
1. Set the refresh rate of servers that have displays with incorrect images to a different
value.
2. Select the best screen display and the save it.
As multiple refresh rates for resolution can generally be set, you can use multiple
options for the screens.
CAUTION
2 4
Storing Console Drawer
The Console Drawer can be stored in the rack when a monitor and keyboard are not
needed.
Slide the Console Drawer in and out of the rack slowly.
1. Push the monitor power button to turn off the power to the monitor.
2. Hold the handle and slowly close the monitor. Be sure that the LCD lock catches.
3. Push the locking springs on both sides of the slide rail and slide the Console
Drawer into the rack. Be sure the latch lever catches.
Be careful not to pinch your fingers or hands in the guide rails,
slide rails, or the Console Drawer itself when storing the Console
Drawer. If the latch lever is not set the Console Drawer may slide
out if the rack is moved.
We recommend turning off the monitor's power when it is not in
use, to conserve electricity.

Chapter 1
Overview of the LX Series
The LX Series is a secure standalone communication server that is
designed for applications requiring secure console or serial port
management. The LX Series provides the most secure and robust feature
set to meet your remote console management and terminal server needs.
The LX Series includes the most comprehensive security features, such as
per port access protection, RADIUS, Secure Shell v2.0, PPP PAP/CHAP,
PPP dial-back, on-board database, menus, and others.
The LX Series console management solution enables centrally located or
remote personnel to connect to the console or craft ports of any network
element or server. This serial connection allows administrators to manage
and configure the remote network devices and servers, as well as perform
software upgrades as if attached locally.
The LX Series also provides various port densities of RS-232 DTE RJ45
Serial ports, as well as V.90/K56 flex Internal Modem options. Currently,
the LX hardware provides port densities of 8, 16, 32, and 48 ports, plus
port 0 for local management.
Conventions
The following conventions are used throughout this guide:
• User prompt – The user prompt is (for example) InReach:0> for
Non-superusers or InReach:0>> for superusers. The prompt will
change based on a login user profile, as configured by the Superuser.
The 0 represents the session number.Overview of the LX Series
14 451-0308
• Configure Mode prompt – A sample configure mode prompt is
Async 1-6:0 >>, where Async is a reminder that tells you which part
of the configuration you are in, 1-6 is the range of ports any operation
will affect, 0 is a session number, and >> indicates superuser mode. To
get to the Async 1-6:0 >> prompt, you must first type port async
1 6 at the Config:0 >> prompt. Note that you do not add a dash
between the range numbers in port async 1 6.
• Command execution – Unless otherwise specified, commands are
executed when you press .
• Keyboard characters (keys) – Keyboard characters are represented
using left and right angle brackets (< and >). For example, the notation
refers to the CTRL key; refers to the letter A; and
refers to the RETURN key.
• Typographical conventions – The following typographical
conventions are used:
Monospace Typeface – indicates text that can be displayed or typed
at a terminal (i.e., displays, user input, messages, prompts, etc.).
italics – are used to indicate variables in command syntax
descriptions.
• Help Key (?) - At any prompt level, you can press ? to display the
available commands at that level. The only time this is not true is if
you are in the midst of entering a command. If ? is at the end of a
partial command, the LX displays a list of valid arguments to assist
you in adding to the current command line.
• Tab - Press the Tab button to complete a partially entered command.
You must enter the first three characters of a command for
autocomplete to work. If the command is already complete, the Tab
button displays available commands.
• Command Recall - The up arrow recalls previously used commands.
• Ctrl-F – Moves forward to the next session.451-0308 15
Overview of the LX Series
• Ctrl-B – Moves back to the previous session.
• Ctrl-L – Returns you to the Local Command Mode.
NOTE: You must press the Enter key after you type Ctrl-F, Ctrl-B,
or Ctrl-L.

FLT
Solid red indicates a fault condition exists or maintenance is required. This
LED remains on until the initial Power On Self Test (POST) completes
successfully.
OK
Solid green indicates the system’s voltages are normal and the unit has
passed the POST test.
Port Status LEDs
Each of the eight (or 16, or 32, or 48) green LEDs flash when receive,
transmit, or status activity is detected on its corresponding serial port. The
port status LEDs are used in several ways. During the initialization process,
the LEDs indicate self-tests are being performed, and if any self-test fails,
they indicate an error code. After a POST test and a system software boot, the
lights indicate when a port is actively being used.
Rear Panel LEDs
This section explains the rear panel LEDs and shows you a rear view of the
various LX models (see Figures 5 through 11).

1. A POST test failure occurs on an 8-port unit. All LEDs flash eight
times, very quickly, then the error code is displayed.
2. You record that LED 3 turns on. Again, all LEDs flash eight times very
quickly, then the rest of the error code is displayed.
3. You record that LEDs 3 and 4 turn on. Figure 17 explains how to
interpret the sample error code.
NOTE: In hexadecimal, 0 indicates the LED is OFF. 1 indicates the LED is
ON.

Cabling the LX Series
Cabling Considerations
Standard cabling items available from MRV Communications allow you to
connect to any serial device that uses male or female DB-25 or DB-9
connectors. All you need is the appropriate modular cable (crossover cable
for connecting to a DTE device, straight-through cable for connecting to a
DCE device), and the correct modular adapter (male or female DB-25
connector), which is essentially an RJ-45-to-DB25 adapter.
Serial Device Connectors
The signal assignments of the 8-pin jacks are shown in Figure 18.

Ordering and Installing the Inlet Connector Lock
You can use an inlet connector lock to lock the AC power cord to the LX
Series unit. MRV Communications does not supply this lock. You can order
the connector lock (part number 85910020) from Panel Components
Corporation. The web address at which you can order the connector lock is:
www.panelcomponents.com/first.html. See Figure 21 for installation
instructions.
Figure 21 - Installing the Inlet Connector Lock
Connecting to the Diagnostic Port (Port 0)
NOTE: Display problems may occur during bootup when you attach a
VT420 terminal to the DIAG port (port 0) and the VT420 display
setup is configured to Smooth-2 Scroll. To avoid this, change
the VT420 scroll setting to Jump Scroll.
Connect the provided serial port cable to the DIAG connector (port 0), and
the other end to your terminal. You can use this direct connect serial link
to send commands to the boot loader and diagnostics. This port is used to
log system messages during bootup. You can also use port 0 to manage and
configure the LX once the unit completes the bootstrap process.

Modem Control/Hardware Flow Control
LX Series serial ports can be set up to support RTS/CTS flow control. The
adapters shown in Figure 22 and Figure 23 illustrate RTS/CTS flow
control for DTE devices using DB25 and DB9 connectors. Figure 24
illustrates RTS/CTS flow control for a DB-25 connector on a DCE device
like a modem. LX Series serial ports can also be set up to support modem
control (except for the DIAG port (port 0)). Figures 22, 23, and 24 support
modem control as needed. Only Figures 23 and 24 support concurrent
modem control and RTS/CTS flow control between the LX Serial Port and
the attached device.
The adapter shown in Figure 24 supports modem control.
NOTE: You would use a "null-modem" cable when making a direct
connection between the serial ports of two communication servers
(i.e., no modems involved) or other DTE device. For that
application, use a DTE-to-DTE cable.
RJ-45 Wiring Considerations
You should give special consideration to the wiring scheme when
connecting a device such as a terminal to a LX Series serial port. The LX
Series is considered a DTE device. To connect to another DTE device such
as a terminal, you will need crossover wiring, as shown in Figure 22 and
Figure 23. When a DCE device is connected to an LX Series serial port,
straight-through wiring is required, as shown in Figure 24.
NOTE: In general, an ethernet CAT3/CAT5 may introduce noise due to the
crossing of pins 3 and 6 (transmit and receive). Flat eight wire
cables are recommended. 451-0308 61
Cabling the LX Series
Modular Adapters (RJ-45 to DB-25)
You can obtain adapters with male and female DB-25 connectors from
MRV Communications. These adapters direct signals from the RJ-45
connector on the cable to the correct pin on the DB-25 connector. Figure 22,
Figure 23, and Figure 24 show how devices are cabled when you use these
adapters.

64 451-0308
NOTE: In order to expand the functionality of the serial interface, the LX
Series modular cabling allows you to connect different signals to
pin 7 of the LX Series. (This pin is an input to the LX Series.) When
a DCE device is connected to an LX Series serial port, the device's
DCD output is connected to pin 7. In this case, the signal at pin 7 is
referred to as DCD. DCD is used here for session control only, not
for flow control.
When a DTE device is connected to an LX Series serial port, the
device's DTR output is connected to pin 7 of the LX Series. In this
case, the signal at pin 7 is referred to as DSR. (This cabling scheme
also provides DECconnect compatibility, since DECconnect does
not support the DCD signal.)
MRV Communications 8-Wire Cabling
This cabling scheme provides XMT, RCV, DCD/DSR, DTR, RTS, CTS, and
two signal ground wires. This cabling is provided through RJ-45
connectors. Using this cabling scheme you can concurrently use modem
control and RTS/CTS hardware flow control, since there are four control
signals. This scheme is useful with relatively high speed devices, complex
modem control applications.
In Figure 25, one signal is referred to as CTS. The CTS signal designation
refers to the signal observed at pin 1 of each serial port. Pin 1 is
multiplexed to these signals.
This scheme is useful with the following applications:
• Terminal emulation and file transfer applications, such as Kermit,
Xmodem, Microphone, etc.
• Applications such as PPP using low speed modems.
• Applications such as PPP using high speed modems.
• Applications using CCITT V.42-compliant modems, or other devices
operating at high port speeds.451-0308 65

Preface
Navigating the LX Command Line Interface (CLI)
The LX CLI is structured as a set of nested command modes. Each command
mode is used to implement a group of related features or functions. Figure 1
(below) lists the command modes in the LX CLI.
Figure 1 - LX Command Modes
Each command mode has its own command prompt (e.g., Config:0 >>)
and its own set of commands.
Type a question mark (?) (or press the Tab key) at any of the LX CLI
command prompts to display the commands that can be executed in the
current command mode. For example, type a question mark at the
Menu :0 >> prompt to display the commands that can be executed in
the Menu command mode.

Except for the User command mode, each command mode is nested in a
previous command mode. (The User command mode is the basic command
mode of the LX CLI; you are in the User command mode when you log in to
the LX unit.) For example, the Superuser command mode is nested in
User command mode; the Configuration command mode is nested in the
Superuser command mode, and so on.
To enter a nested command mode, you must enter the appropriate
command from the previous command mode. For example, to enter the
Configuration command mode you must enter the configuration
command from the Superuser command mode.
You can use the exit command to return to the previous command mode.
For example, you would enter the exit command in the Configuration
command mode to return to the Superuser command mode.
The rest of this section describes the LX command modes and the
commands that are used to access each of them.

Superuser, issuing this command will return you to the User command mode.
Syntax
exit
Usage Guidelines
The exit command can be issued in all of the LX Command Modes. However, the effect of the
exit command varies, depending on the command mode from which it is issued.
As noted above, issuing the exit command in the Superuser command mode returns the user to
the previous command mode. The same goes for issuing the exit command in any command
mode other than the User command mode. For example, issuing the exit command in the
Configuration command mode returns the user to the Superuser command mode; issuing the
exit command in the Subscriber command mode returns the user to the Configuration
command mode, and so on.
Issuing the exit command in the User command mode exits the LX CLI and closes the
connection to the LX unit.

Usage Guidelines
When you execute this command, the following text is displayed:
You must navigate to the Linux shell and use the iptables
commands that are available in the kernel. You can run a shell
from the Superuser Command Mode by launching the command
"shell". For further details, please refer to the LX-Series
Commands Reference Guide.
Iptables are used to set up, maintain, and inspect the tables
of IP packet filter rules in the Linux kernel. Iptables help
manage IP traffic by creating filters known as chains. Each
chain is a list of rules which can match a set of packets. Each
rule specifies what to do with a packet that matches. The
options are ACCEPT, DENY, or DROP. The INPUT chain filters
packets coming from the LAN to the LX-Series and the OUTPUT
chain filters packets leaving the LX-Series destined for the
LAN.
After making any changes, you should always run the command
"/sbin/iptables-save -f /config/iptables.conf" to save the
changes. To make the change permanent through reboots you must
save the configuration change by running the command "save
configuration" from the superuser command mode.

Returns the user to the previous command mode. For example, if the current command mode is
Interface, issuing this command will return the user to the Configuration command mode.
Syntax
exit
Usage Guidelines
The exit command can be issued in all of the LX Command Modes. However, the effect of the
exit command varies, depending on the mode from which it is issued.
As noted above, issuing the exit command in the Interface command mode returns the user
to the previous command mode. The same goes for issuing the exit command in any
command mode other than the User command mode. For example, issuing the exit
command in the Menu command mode returns the user to the Configuration command mode;
issuing the exit command in the Configuration command mode returns the user to the
Superuser command mode, and so on.
Issuing the exit command in the User command mode exits the LX CLI and closes the
connection to the LX unit.

Assigns ports on the LX unit to a rotary. The term "rotary" refers to the ability to assign the
same Internet address or domain name to multiple ports that offer the same type of service.
Syntax
rotary port NUMBER|PORT LIST|all
Where Means
Usage Guidelines
When this command is used to assign ports to a rotary, the IP Address of the IP interface serves
as the IP Address of the rotary.
To create a rotary, do the following:
1. Create an IP interface (see the “interface” command on page 180).
2. Assign ports to the rotary using the “rotary port” command.
3. Configure the IP Address for the IP interface (see the “address” command on page 276).
4. Configure the Rotary SSH port for the IP interface (see the “rotary ssh port” command on page 297).
5. Configure the Rotary TCP port for the IP interface (see the “rotary tcp port” command on page 298).
For example, you could create a rotary on interface 1 with a TCP port of 3500 and an SSH port
of 3522. Then you could assign ports 2, 3, and 4 to it. You could connect (assuming all ports
have dynamic or remote access) to ports 2, 3, or 4 via TCP port 3500 for telnet, and 3522 for
SSH. You could connect to port 2 via TCP port 2200 for telnet or 2222 for SSH, or port 5 via
TCP port 2500 for telnet or 2522 for SSH. A telnet connection to the IP address of the LX on
TCP port 23 would get you to a virtual port, and an SSH connection to port 22 would also get
you to a virtual port via SSH.
NOTE: You cannot add the DIAG port (port 0) to a rotary.

Specifies the rotary type according to the port search method (Round Robin or First Available).
Syntax
rotary type round robin|first available
Where Means
Examples
rotary type round robin
rotary type first available
rotary type
round robin The LX unit will search the rotary for an available port, starting with the
lowest-numbered port in the rotary. Unlike “First Available”, Round
Robin will always go the next available port. For example, if all ports on
the rotary are available and a connection to port 3 goes away, the next
connection is to port 4.
first available An incoming call is connected to the First Available (non-busy) port in the
rotary. For example, if ports 1 - 5 are connected in a rotary of ports 1 - 7,
and the connection to port 3 went away (so that port 3 was now available),
the next connection would be to port 3.300 451-0310E

Asynchronous Commands
The Asynchronous port commands are executed in the Asynchronous
command mode. When the LX unit is in the Asynchronous command mode,
the Asynchronous command prompt (e.g., Async 4-4:0 >>) is displayed on
the terminal screen.
The format of the Asynchronous command prompt is as follows:
Async <1st_port_number>-: >>
where <1st_port_number> identifies the first port in the range
of ports under configuration.
identifies the last port in the range
of ports under configuration.
identifies the current session
number.
To enter the Asynchronous command mode, execute the port async
command in the Configuration command mode. The port async command is
described on page 194. 308 451-0310E
Specifies any access method, other than power management, for the asynchronous port(s) under
configuration. (Refer to “access power model” on page 309 for information on specifying port(s)
for power management.)
The default access method is LOCAL on modem ports and on port 0. On all other non-modem
ports, the default access method is REMOTE.
Syntax
access local|dynamic|remote|sensor|databuffer
Where Means
Usage Guidelines
PPP can not be enabled on a port that has autobaud enabled.
Examples
access local
access dynamic
access remote
access
local Specifies that the port(s) under configuration will use the LOCAL access
method. The LOCAL access method is used to support inbound connections
(i.e., when the user logs in to the port via a terminal or via a dialin connection).
dynamic Specifies that the port(s) under configuration will use the DYNAMIC access
method.
Note: You cannot specify DYNAMIC as the access method for port 0.
remote Specifies that the port(s) under configuration will use the REMOTE access
method. The REMOTE access method is used to support outbound connections
(i.e., connections from the LAN).
Note: You cannot specify REMOTE as the access method for port 0.
sensor Specifies that the port(s) under configuration will be used as a Temperature/
Humidity Sensor port(s). Refer to Getting Started with the LX Series for
information on connecting a Temperature/Humidity Sensor to an LX port. Refer
to “show device status” on page 92 to display the temperature and humidity
recorded on a Temperature/Humidity Sensor attached to a SENSOR port.
Note: You cannot configure port 0 as a SENSOR port.

Enables Automatic Protocol Detection (APD) on the port(s) under configuration. When APD is
enabled, the port will automatically determine the protocol being used to make a connection and
adjust port settings appropriately.
On all ports except modem ports, APD is disabled by default.
Syntax
apd enable
Usage Guidelines
To use APD, the LX port must be configured with PORT ACCESS set to LOCAL or DYNAMIC.
Refer to “access” on page 308 for information on setting PORT ACCESS to LOCAL or
DYNAMIC.
If you do not enable APD, ports can be dedicated for use by a single access serving protocol. An
individual port can be configured to accept any connections made via PPP, SLIP (which includes
CSLIP), and interactive protocols, as well as both, or neither of these.
You cannot enable APD on port 0. If you execute the apd enable command on port 0, the
following message will be displayed:
Operation not permitted on diagnostic/management port
Example

Enables the Fallback Login feature on the asynchronous port(s) under configuration.
Syntax
authentication fallback enable
Usage Guidelines
Fallback Login is a mechanism for logging in users when RADIUS, SecurID, or TACACS+, fails
because the authentication server is unreachable. When you log in via Fallback, you are logged
in to the asynchronous port as a nonprivileged user. The authentication challenge will be
against the local subscriber database.
When RADIUS, SecurID, and TACACS+ are disabled on the asynchronous port, Fallback is
effectively disabled on the port.
Example
authentication fallback enable
authentication fallback enable451-0310E 317
Specifies that the port(s) under configuration will determine the input port speed, parity, and
character size for the device connected to the port, and automatically set the matching LX port
settings.
Autobaud is disabled by default, except on the last physical port.

Usage Guidelines
The LX unit uses the ASCII RETURN character to determine the port speed, parity, and
character size. Normally, the user must press the RETURN key a few times until the LX unit
determines the port speed, parity, and character size, and begins a logon sequence. When APD
is enabled, the port will automatically determine the protocol being used to make a connection
and adjust port settings appropriately.
You can only enable AUTOBAUD where the attached device is configured with the following
settings at a port set to LOCAL ACCESS and:
• CHARACTER SIZE 8, (7 if EVEN parity)
• PARITY NONE (EVEN if character size is set to 7)
• SPEED is set to 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, or 38400.

Usage Guidelines
When incoming data matching a specified pattern is received at the port, a syslogd message is
generated at the facility LOG_USER, with the priority LOG_NOTICE:
Pattern match found::Msg39
where is the incoming data that matches the specified pattern.
For example, the following syslogd messages could be generated for incoming data that matched
the pattern no *:
Pattern match found:no broadcast group 4:Msg39
NOTE: The text Pattern match found is the default content of Message 39.
This text can be changed. If it is changed, the text that precedes the colon
(:) will be different from Pattern match found. Refer to “message
string” on page 514 to change the text content of a configurable message.
pattern string
pattern_number A number that identifies the match pattern. This can be any integer
number from 1 through 8.
match_pattern A case-sensitive text string that is used as a match pattern for incoming
data. This string can contain up to 15 characters, including wildcards.
The allowable wildcards are the period (“.”) and the asterisk (“*”). The
period represents a single character. For example, the pattern a.c.ef
matches the strings abc3ef, azcxef, and a2cgef. The asterisk
represents up to 16 iterations of the last character before the asterisk. For
example, the pattern abc* matches the strings abccccccc and abccc.
Note: The asterisk cannot be specified as the first character in a match
pattern.
Note: The string help is reserved and can not be specified in a match
pattern.346 451-0310E
The messages will be forwarded to Notification clients that have a facility of user and a

Sets the port(s) under configuration to transparent mode.
Syntax
transparency enable
Usage Guidelines
The use of transparent mode ensures that the LX can support applications that were designed
for a point-to-point serial connection over an IP network. Examples of such applications include
(but are not limited to) legacy serial applications and the downloading of an operating system to
a switch or router via the serial port.
Transparent mode is applicable to the serial-port side only. When transparent mode is enabled,
common control characters are not interpreted. For example, some characters that would not
be interpreted (and their Hex equivalents) are ^Q (11), ^S (13), and NULL (00).
To disable transparent mode, execute the following command in the Asynchronous Command
Mode:
no transparency

exit
Usage Guidelines
The exit command can be issued in all of the LX command modes. However, the effect of the
exit command varies, depending on the mode from which it is issued.
As noted above, issuing the exit command in the PPP command mode returns the user to the
previous command mode. The same goes for issuing the exit command in any command
mode other than User. For example, issuing the exit command in the Menu Editing
command mode command mode returns the user to the Menu command mode; issuing the
exit command in the Configuration command mode returns the user to the Superuser
command mode, and so on.
Issuing the exit command in the User command mode exits the LX CLI and closes the

Data compression allows more data to be transferred over the link. The use of the VJ
compression method can result in significant bandwidth savings, which can be important when
PPP connections are made over telephone lines or when a PPP link is very heavily used. VJ
compression is very memory intensive, however. The use of VJ compression is negotiated
during PPP options negotiation. Compression can be used in one direction only.

user.warning /tftpboot/test/user.warning.log
2. Create an empty log file on the remote host:
#touch /tftpboot/test/user.warning.log
#chmod 777 /tftpboot/test/user.warning.log
3. Restart the syslog daemon on the remote host:
# ps –ef|grep syslog
# kill –HUP pid#
