* From now on, the current configuration will just be on the scs, I won't update the wiki past this.

FIXME: Some addresses are reported to fail

Sentinel32, with 2 power supplies

Contents

Connecting to the SCS

The SCS has two uplinks, one is on an independent uplink from the colo's network (to allow out of band access even in case our switch is dead/unreachable), one is on our internal network:

  • External IP: 64.156.25.110
  • Internal IP: 10.0.0.220
  • As of March 20, 2006, those addresses answer neither ping nor SSH.

Use ssh scs from a server of the cluster, or ssh scs-ext.wikimedia.org from anywhere

SCS commands

  • connecting to a server in interactive mode: connect server_name
  • escape interactive mode: Esc + A (uppercase)
  • symlinks to the serial ports and their buffers: /lsi/ports
  • save saves configuration changes to non-volatile memory
  • lsp lists the serial ports and their names
  • lsc lists active connections
  • stty configures serial port parameters, but to make the changes permanent, /etc/rc.d/rc.serial must be edited
  • to rename a port: stty -F /lsi/ports/port23 --name=zwinger
  • to clear a port buffer: stty --clear -F /lsi/ports/buf_name
  • read chapter 9 of the manual (linked below) for more

The port connectors are in four chunks of 8 ports, upper and lower rows of four. In each chunk the bottom four ports are labelled 1-4 and top 5-8. Leftmost chunk is ports 1-8, then 9-16, 17-24 and 25-32:

5/5 6/6 7/7 8/8  5/13 6/14 7/15 8/16  5/21 6/22 7/23 8/24  5/29 6/30 7/31 8/32
1/1 2/2 3/3 4/4  1/ 9 2/10 3/11 4/12  1/17 2/18 3/19 4/20  1/25 2/26 3/27 4/28 

Old Configuration

  • This list will no longer be updated. The really isn't any since in keeping up two copies of the same data. What is on the scs is what is connected. But really, this list is definitely no longer accurate as of now. Solar 23:46, 8 September 2006 (PDT)
