Most commonly used XSCF commands
The eXtended System Control Facility Unit (XSCFU) is a service processor that operates and administrates both midrange servers. The XSCFU diagnoses and starts the entire server, configures domains, offers dynamic reconfiguration, as well as detects and notifies various failures. The XSCFU enables standard control and monitoring function through network. Using this function enables starts, settings, and operation managements of the server from remote locations.
Check for the available domains on the servers :
XSCF> showdomainstatus -a DID Domain Status 00 Booting/OpenBoot PROM prompt 01 Running
Now to connect to the domain with ID 00 :
XSCF> console -d 0
Power/reboot/reset/panic commands
Poweron all domains
XSCF> poweron -a
Poweron only domain 0
XSCF> poweron -d 0
Poweroff all domains
XSCF> poweroff -a
Poweroff domain 0
XSCF> poweroff -d 0
Reboot XSCF
XSCF> rebootxscf
The 3 modes to reset a domain are :
- por: To reset the domain
- panic: To panic the domain
- xir: To reset the CPU in domain
XSCF> reset -d 0 por XSCF> reset -d 0 panic XSCF> reset -d 0 xir
Send a break signal to a domain (with ID 0)
XSCF> sendbreak -d 0
User Administration
Creating a New user
XSCF> adduser -u 345 admin
Delete a user
XSCF> deleteuser admin
Disable a user
XSCF> disableuser admin
Enable a user
XSCF> enableuser admin
Display user account information
XSCF> showuser -a
Set or change a User (admin) password
XSCF> password admin
Network related commands
Display complete network configuration
XSCF> shownetwork -aSet IP address for XSCF-LAN#0 in the XSCFU#0
XSCF> setnetwork xscf#0-lan#0 -m 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.10
We must apply the network settings and reboot the XSCF in order to the network settings to take effect :
XSCF> applynetwork XSCF> rebootxscf
Setup 2 NTP servers with IP 192.168.1.10 and 192.168.1.20
XSCF> setntp 192.168.1.10 192.168.1.20 Please reset the XSCF by rebootxscf to reflect the ntp settings.
To delete a NTP server 192.168.1.20
XSCF> setntp -c del 192.168.1.20 Please reset the XSCF by rebootxscf to reflect the ntp settings.

Snapshots
We can take a snapshot of M series servers XSCF either on a remote server or on a USB device locally connected. To take a snaphot on a remote system 192.168.1.10 (in /var/tmp directory) by using root user credentials :
XSCF> snapshot -L F -t root@192.168.1.10:/var/tmp
To take the snapshot on a Local USB device connected to the server :
XSCF> snapshot -L F -d usb0
Connect DVD Device to a domain Run the following from the XSCF to connect the DAT & DVD to the needed port based on the domain(s) configuration.
XSCF> cfgdevice -q -y -c attach -p 0-0
Confirm that the device is attached to domain and is enabled :
XSCF> cfgdevice -l
From the OS prompt configure the newly added DVD device and restart the volmgmt service:
# cfgadm -c configure # c0 # /etc/init.d/volmgt start
Hostname
Display current hostanems of XSCF units
XSCF> showhostname -a xscf#0: hostname01.example.com xscf#1: hostname02.example.com
To set hostname and DNS domain name for XSCF doamin respectively
XSCF> sethostname xscf#0 hostname01 XSCF> sethostname -d example.com
