Hi!
I provide some sample sessions. First, we need to switch on StarFire power supplies and log in to SSP computer as user "ssp":
12:08 pm:~ > ssh ssp@ultra5 -X Password: Last login: Sat Dec 23 13:37:54 2006 from 192.168.0.185 Sun Microsystems Inc. SunOS 5.10 Generic January 2005 Please enter SUNW_HOSTNAME:
this question is about domain (think "computer") you want to manage. I have domain "mysql", so I am going to use it:
12:08 pm:~ > ssh ssp@ultra5 -X Password: Last login: Sat Dec 23 13:37:54 2006 from 192.168.0.185 Sun Microsystems Inc. SunOS 5.10 Generic January 2005 Please enter SUNW_HOSTNAME: mysql unknown:mysql% unknown:mysql% unknown:mysql% fan Error: Can't get port number to connect to SSP: ultra5. Domain: mysql The 'snmpd' agent may not be running. unknown:mysql% domain_status domain_status: This command must run on the main SSP. unknown:mysql%
All those errors indicate that communication with StarFire is not initialised yet. It need some time (5min maybe) and you can recognise it by noise of StarFire is doing. Ventilators go much slower when SSP gets control over it. Also just looking at end of long indicates when this happens:

It complains a lot about missing power supplies but he is bit fool. He assumes that all my system boards are fully loaded
with all stuff and I am going to use them. But I have wattmeter and have much better understanding how many
supplies it needs. Two is enough! Anyway, those fans take over 2KW, so I reduce them:
unknown:mysql% cat fans.sh

Now it is time to power on domain "mysql". As I told him about "mysql" when I logged in, it
knows which resources need to be powered now:

While powered, it still does not boot. We need to initiate POST and boot sequence with command "bringup". Arguments after it tell that we need to boot computer to OBP but not into operating system yet. This command is slow. Takes 15 minutes. This depends on amount of memory and CPUs to be tested. Currently I have no such power in house to feed whole computer, so I left only one CPU on each board but filled all memory slots. This monster runs with 7 CPUs and 28G of RAM under 2KW poer budget without disks. This satisfies me.

Now let's try some StarFire specific features you have not seen on other E series Suns. First, I close console with sequence "~." and will be back on SSP prompt:

What feature is coolest on StarFire? Dynamic recongfiguration of course! Yes it exists on lower E series but does not work that
perfect! Let's try:

Combining this ability with ability to separate single hardware into "domains" makes StarFire very special. This makes
possible to reassign resources (which are very expensive) to system which needs it. You can take CPU power off from production system and assign it to test system at night for making stress tests for example. Also it makes possible to test IT system under different configurations without rebooting it.
It is possible to switch off domains and other stuff from SSP. Next command will shut down running domains and will physically flip
power thumblers on StarFire to "off" position:
unknown:mysql% power -off -B
Warning: This system does not have any power supply redundancy.
Warning: Bulk power is insufficient to power all existing system boards.

I will make some stuff how to make it work. Some QuickStart. I think for now
it is enough.
My linux running attempts with Aurora 2.0 and Gentoo 2006.x are here:

I also provide shell access for people with any serious intention. But please
understand that this computer is in my bedroom and making noise of jet
engine. I do not run it 24x7.
