x SPARC Enterprise Mx000 Servers Product Notes for XCP Version 1124 • August 2018

Preface

These product notes contain important and late-breaking information about the SPARC Enterprise M3000/M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 servers. It covers hardware, software, firmware, and documentation, covering the latest XSCF Control Package (XCP) release.

Note – The M3000/M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 servers are

based on high-performance and highly-reliable SPARC64 VII+ or SPARC64 VII processors.

Some references to server names and document names are abbreviated for readability. For example, if you see a reference to the M9000 server, note that the full product name is the SPARC Enterprise M9000 server. And if you see a reference to the XSCF Reference Manual, note that the full document name is the SPARC Enterprise M3000/M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 Servers XSCF Reference Manual.

Note – Once an XCP version newer than the XCP version supported by this manual

is released, only the manuals related to the new XCP version are subsequently updated. You must therefore check the manuals for the latest XCP version in addition to those related to the XCP version you are using.

Notes and Limitations

This section describes the notes and limitations at the time of this release.

Limitations for SPARC64 VII+ and SPARC64 VII Processors

You must complete the upgrades to the XCP and to Oracle Solaris OS before installing the CPU/memory board unit which is mounted with the SPARC 64 VII+ and SPARC64 VII processors on your server.

Notes on Secure Socket Layer (SSL) 3.0

Due to security reasons, SSL 3.0 cannot be used with XCP 1119 or later. Use Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.0. Use Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.0 for XCP 1121 or earlier. Use Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.2, 1.1, or 1.0 for XCP 1122 or later.

Notes on SSH

Due to security reasons, XCP 1123 and later restrict the use of some algorithms at SSH connection. If the SSH connection to the XSCF fails, consider updating the SSH client and changing the settings.

Notes on Active Directory

■ While Active Directory is enabled, when you attempt to login to XSCF via the

telnet, you might fail to login due to timeout of the query to secondary alternated server or later.

■ If the specified timeout is too brief for the configuration, the login process or

retrieval of user privilege settings could fail. In such case, specify larger value for the timeout and then execute again.

Notes on Power Consumption Monitoring Function (M3000 Server)

■ The amount of power consumption might not be indicated correctly in the MIB

information, in the showenvironment power command output, and on the XSCF Web in the following cases; and you should wait for one minute and check the value again.

■ During the server powering on or powering off, or for a while after the power-

on or power-off complete

■ During the active replacement of power supply unit, or for a while after the

active replacement complete

■ The figures on the power consumption monitoring function represent the

dissipation power from the server. The figures of peripheral devices are not included.

Notes on Airflow Indicator

■ The amount of exhaust air might not be indicated correctly in the MIB

information, in the showenvironment air command output, and on the XSCF Web in the following cases; and you should wait for one minute and check the value again.

■ During the server powering on or powering off, or for a while after the power-

on or power-off complete

■ During the active replacement of power supply unit, or for a while after the

active replacement complete

■ The figures on the airflow indicator represent the volume of air exhausted from

the server. The figures of peripheral devices are not included.

Notes on NTP Server

■ We recommend the domain to use the XSCF Unit as NTP server. In this case, pay

attention to the following points:

■ XSCF must be connected to an external NTP server.

Chapter 2 XCP 1124 and XCP 1124-related Information 9

■ When you connect one or more NTP servers in addition to XSCF, connect the

same NTP server as XSCF is using.

For details on NTP server, contact a service engineer. For details on NTP settings, refer to the SPARC Enterprise M3000/M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 Servers XSCF User’s Guide.

Notes on the NTP Server Referring to the Local Clock

When the NTP server which XSCF refers to is referring to the server's own system time (local clock), and when the address of "127.127.1.0" is set to that local clock, time synchronization in XSCF might fail.

The address of the XSCF's own local clock is fixed to "127.127.1.0." On the other hand, when the address of the local clock of the NTP server which XSCF refers to is set to "127.127.1.0," the address of the clock source (refid) has the same value as the address of the XSCF's own local clock. An NTP server like this is excluded from the target of XSCF time synchronization.

You can execute the showntp -l command to refer to the address of the NTP server's own clock source which is set in XSCF and the address of the XSCF's own local clock.

XSCF> showntp -l remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter ==============================================================================

192.168.1.2 LOCAL(0) 3 u 10 1024 377 0.000 0.000 0.000 *127.127.1.0 .LOCL. 5 l 28 64 377 0.000 0.000 0.008

Of the two NTP server outputs, the upper (192.168.1.2) indicates the NTP server which is set by using the setntp(8) command. The refid is LOCAL(0), which means that the local clock which has the address of "127.127.1.0" is set to the clock source of this NTP server. On the other hand, the lower indicates the XSCF's own local clock. The address of the XSCF's own local clock is fixed to "127.127.1.0." Due to this, the NTP server (192.168.1.2) is excluded from the target of XSCF time synchronization; which results in the XSCF synchronizes with its own local clock.

With any of the following measures to avoid the trouble, time can be correctly synchronized with the NTP server which is set by using the setntp(8) command.

■ Change the clock source that the NTP server being set in XSCF refers to

Use the showntp -l command and check the clock source of the NTP server which is set in XSCF. An NTP server which indicates the refid of LOCAL(0) in the output is referring to the local clock which has the address of "127.127.1.0," and you should change it to refer to another clock source.

When you change the clock source of an NTP server, make sure in advance that it has no impact on other NTP clients.

10 SPARC Enterprise Mx000 Servers Product Notes for XCP Version 1124 • August 2018

■ Change the address of the local clock of the NTP server

Of the NTP server which XSCF refers to, change the address of the local clock to "127.127.1.1," "127.127.1.2," or "127.127.1.3." Change /etc/inet/ntp.conf of Oracle Solaris OS. To enable the change, restart of the NTP daemon is required.

When you change the address of the local clock of an NTP server, make sure in advance that it has no impact on other NTP clients.

■ Change the stratum value of the NTP server

Of the NTP server which XSCF refers to, change the stratum value to "1." An NTP server which has the stratum value of "1" becomes the most significant clock source and has no refid. Therefore, there is no chance that it will have the same address as the XSCF's own local clock.

When you change the stratum value of an NTP server, make sure in advance that it has no impact on other NTP clients.

■ Change the address of the XSCF's own local clock

By using the setntp -m localaddr=value command, change the address of the XSCF's own local clock. In value, specify the least significant byte of the clock address of the local clock 127.127.1.x for value. A numeric from 0 to 3 can be specified. By specifying either from 1 to 3, the address of an NTP server which is referring to the local clock does not correspond to the address of the XSCF internal local clock anymore, and a server which is referring to the local clock can also be set as the NTP server of XSCF.

Notes on Timezones

The time zones (regions/location names) supported by the XSCF can be changed to support the latest time zone information.

For any previously set time zone that the system can no longer use, the XSCF switches from this unusable time zone to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and operates in UTC.

When the set time zone operates in UTC, execute the settimezone -c settz -a command, and check the settable time zones. If the time zone list does not have a set time zone, set a time zone again.

Notes on XSCF Web

■ When you use Mozilla Firefox (Windows version) 45ESR as the Web browser with

XCP 1121 or earlier, the XSCF Web menu may not appear.

Chapter 2 XCP 1124 and XCP 1124-related Information 11

■ Using the XSCF Web function, when you change from a SHA1 Web server

certificate to a SHA256 Web server certificate, re-create the certificate with the sethttps command.

■ Under the Windows 7 with Internet Explorer 8.0, 9.0, or 10.0 environment, XSCF

Web does not support the use through the built-in Administrator account.

■ On Internet Explorer 8.0, when you move the on-screen horizontal frame up or

down to change the frame height and use the [Monitor Msg Show/Hide] button, the screen background color may turn black. In this case, click Refresh on the View menu or press [F5] key to refresh the display, to go back to the screen right after the login.

When you moved the on-screen horizontal frame up or down to change the frame height, do not use the [Monitor Msg Show/Hide] button.

■ M3000/M4000/M5000 servers:

Using the XSCF Web, when you import XCP or update the firmware, Session ID error may be displayed on the web browser. And in the Autologout setting, when you specify the timeout period as over 30 minutes, Internal Server Error might be displayed when you perform the firmware update. Please close the current browser and open the new browser to reconnect to XSCF Web.

M8000/M9000 servers: Using the XSCF Web, when you import XCP or update the firmware, Session ID error may be displayed on the web browser. And Internal Server Error might be displayed when you perform the firmware update. Please close the current browser and open the new browser to reconnect to XSCF Web.

■ When you use the XSCF Web under Internet Explorer 6 or 7, or Firefox 2

environment, remove the plug-in if a plug-in such as the search tool installed with the browser, or disable the pop-up blocking.

When you use the XSCF Web under Internet Explorer 8, 9, 10, or 11, or Firefox 3, 6, 8, 9, 10, or 17 environment, disable the pop-up blocking.

■ When you use the XSCF Web under Firefox 3, 6, 8, 9, 10, or 17 environment and

attempt to log in to XSCF, you may be prompted by the browser to save the login ID/password. In this case, do not save the login ID/password. If you save the login ID/password, the stored data can be displayed unexpectedly on the LDAP, SMTP and REMCS web pages.

Use one of two settings described below, to disable the browser's ID/password remember function:

■ Disable the entire browser ID/password remember function.

Click on the [Tools] menu, and select [Preferences]. On the [Security] panel, see [Passwords] and uncheck the [Remember passwords for sites] checkbox.

12 SPARC Enterprise Mx000 Servers Product Notes for XCP Version 1124 • August 2018

■ Designate the XSCF Web address as an exception to the ID/password save

operation. Click on the [Tools] menu, and select [Preferences]. On the [Security] panel, see

[Passwords] and check the [Remember passwords for sites] checkbox. Then, on the dialog for the ID/password saving which appears in the login attempt to XSCF, click the [Never for This Site] button. As a result, the XSCF Web address will be registered in the [Exceptions] list to the ID/password save operation, and the dialog to prompt the ID/password saving will no longer be displayed in the subsequent login attempts to XSCF.

■ When using FireFox ESR 38.4 as the Web browser with XCP 1120 or earlier, the

display of Domain ID and Status in [Menu] - [Domain Operation] - [Domain Power] may appear distorted. If the display is distorted, Power ON and other operations are not available from the above menu. If this problem occurs, use the XSCF shell.

■ The browser layout may appear distorted in Internet Explorer 9, 10, or 11

environment. If this occurs, enable Compatibility View in Internet Explorer.

Limitations on Audit

■ The log file transfer function of the audit log set with the setaudit archive

command and the setaudit disable command is not supported at present.

■ If the policy for writing to an audit record is set to stop temporarily ("suspend"),

degradation due to an error may occur or the XSCF may be reset. In the setaudit(8) command, specify overwriting ("count") by default for the write policy for the audit trail. For details of this issue, see "RTIF1-141209-001."

Miscellaneous Notes and Limitations

commands, and the [Log Archives] menu of XSCF Web is not supported.

■ M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 servers:

The following functions displaying the power consumption is not supported on M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 servers.

■ power operand of the showenvironment(8) command

■ XSCF Web

Chapter 2 XCP 1124 and XCP 1124-related Information 13

Note – Invalid values will be displayed by executing the commands or menu.

SNMP Agent Function obtains invalid values of power consumption.

■ M4000/M5000 servers:

The M4000/M5000 servers are cold service machines. Hot-swapping of the CPU module (CPUM), memory board (MEMB), I/O unit (IOU), or XSCF unit is not supported.

■ M8000/M9000 servers:

Do not use the internal CD-RW/DVD-RW drive unit and the TAPE drive unit at the same time.

■ When you use the external power control interface of the external power

controller, the following notification signals are not supported:

■ The OS panic or the server hardware error signal (*CPUN/RTNU)

■ The server hardware error signal (power fail, temperature error, and fan error)

(*ALARM)

■ M8000/M9000 servers:

On the M8000/M9000 servers with XCP 1050 or later, the dual XSCF Unit feature is working. Therefore, you can not downgrade M8000/M9000 servers with XCP 1050 or later to XCP 1040 or XCP 1041, which does not support dual XSCF Unit feature.

■ You cannot use the following user account names, as they are reserved for system

use: root, bin, daemon, adm, operator, nobody, sshd, rpc, rpcuser, ldap, apache, ntp, admin, proxyuser, and default.

■ XSCF-LAN is compliant with auto-negotiation. When you connect XSCF-LAN

and the network device which has been fixed to the full-duplex mode, according to the IEEE 802.3 rule, XSCF-LAN communicates in the half-duplex mode. Due to this, network communication speed may slow down or communication error may occur. Do not fail to set the network device which connects with XSCF-LAN to the auto-negotiation mode.

■ M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 servers:

While you are performing DR operation to a COD board, do not execute the

addcodactivation(8)/addcodlicense(8)/deletecodactivation(8)/ deletecodlicense(8)/setcod(8) command.

■ At this time the -e, -l, -P options of the snapshot(8) command are not

supported.

■ An XSCF user account user name cannot match an LDAP user name, and an

XSCF user account number (UID) cannot match an LDAP UID number.

■ In case that any failure occurred on a system board and failed to read the FRU

information of system board, XSCF regards the system board as a COD board. The showboards -va command displays the COD status as "y." In this case, replace the failed system board.
