■ XSEFC402AF Sun StorageTek Enterprise Class 4Gb Dual-Port Fibre Channel PCI-

E HBA

■ XSEFC401AF Sun StorageTek Enterprise Class 4Gb Single-Port Fibre Channel PCI-

E HBA

Updating to XCP 1071 or Later

To update your XCP to XCP 1071 or later, please pay attention to the following points depending on your current XCP version.

You can upgrade to XCP 1071 or later from XCP version 1050 or higher. Refer to the SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 Servers XSCF User’s Guide for instructions.

Resetting the XSCF Firmware

After updating the XCP firmware to 1071 or later, do not fail to reset the XSCF by using the rebootxscf(8) command.

General Information about XCP 1072 3

Updating from a Version Earlier Than XCP 1050

■ You cannot update to XCP 1071 or later directly.

If you are currently running a version earlier than XCP 1050, you must first update to an interim version of XCP between 1050 and 1070 (inclusive) before updating to XCP 1071 or later. Refer to the product notes document for the interim version for instructions.

■ Delete any accounts named "admin".

Any accounts named admin must be deleted prior to updating to XCP 1050 or later. This account name is reserved in XCP 1050 and higher. Use the deleteuser(8) command to delete the account.

Updating from a Version Earlier Than XCP 1070

On a domain which has been in operation during the XCP update to XCP 1071 or later, when you perform Dynamic Reconfiguration (DR) to add or replace the SPARC64 VII processors, you need to update the OpenBoot™ PROM firmware. The OpenBoot PROM firmware is updated as you update the XCP and restart the domain. For this reason, it is strongly recommended to restart all the domains after you update the firmware to XCP 1071 or later, regardless of whether you added or replaced the SPARC64 VII processors.

Functionality Issues and Limitations

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

Limitations for SPARC64 VII Processors

Caution – You must complete the upgrades to the XCP firmware and to Solaris OS

before inserting the CPU/memory board unit of SPARC 64 VII processors into the chassis.

On a SPARC Enterprise M9000 server, if a single domain includes 16 boards containing SPARC64 VII processors, then SunVTS 7.0ps2 software will not start. (CR ID: 6720922)

4 SPARC Enterprise M8000/M9000 Servers Product Notes for XCP Version 1072 • September 2008

General Functionality Issues and Limitations

Caution – For dynamic reconfiguration (DR) and hot-plug issues, see TABLE 4.

■ Domains using the ZFS file system cannot use Dynamic Reconfiguration.

■ The maximum number of IOUA (Base I/O Card) cards per domain is limited to

six cards.

■ Do not use the internal CD-RW/DVD-RW drive unit and the TAPE drive unit at

the same time.

■ For this XCP release, the XSCF browser user interface (XSCF Web) does not

support the External I/O Expansion Unit Manager feature.

■ The XSCF does not support the Log Archiving feature.

■ When using XSCF as the NTP server of the domain, configure it so as not to block

the ICMP protocol of the DNS server and the NTP server which the XSCF refers to.

■ 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)

■ For 1027A-Z/X1027A-Z, PCIe Dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet Fiber XFP cards, these

limits apply:

■ Do not use more than two cards per domain.

■ Do not use these cards in an External I/O Expansion Unit.

■ For 4447A-Z/X4447A-Z, PCIe Quad-port Gigabit Ethernet Adapter UTP cards,

these maximum limits apply:

■ No more than two cards in an External I/O Expansion Unit.

■ No more than eight cards in a SPARC Enterprise M8000/M9000 servers.

■ In case that Solaris OS is a single user mode, if you switch from the domain　

console to the XSCF Shell, Solaris OS might start up in multi-user. When you operate the single user mode for Solaris OS, do not switch from the domain console to the XSCF Shell.

■ 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

■ 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 M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 Servers XSCF User's Guide.

General Information about XCP 1072 5

■ On the SPARC Enterprise M8000/M9000 servers with XCP 1050 or later, the dual

XSCF Unit feature is working. Therefore, you can not downgrade SPARC Enterprise 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, and default.

■ The Firefox 3 is not supported in XSCF Web.

■ 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.

■ When you use the XSCF Web, if a plug-in such as the search tool installed with

the browser, remove the plug-in or disable the pop-up blocking.

■ 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.

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

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

■ The restoredefaults(8) command is not supported in this release.

■ If your domain is running one of the following versions of Solaris OS:

■ Solaris 10 5/08 OS

■ An earlier version of Solaris 10 OS with patch ID 127127-11

Then you must set the following parameter in the system specification file (/etc/system):

set heaplp_use_stlb=0

Then reboot the domain. For more information, refer to CR 6718173 in

TAB LE 4.

Information about Hardware

This section describes the special instructions and the issues about the SPARC Enterprise M8000/M9000 servers hardware.

■ Hardware Issues and Workarounds

Hardware Issues and Workarounds

TABLE 2 lists known hardware issues and possible workarounds.

TABLE 2 Hardware Issues and Workarounds

CR ID Description Workaround

6433420 The domain console might display a Mailbox

timeout or IOCB interrupt timeout error during boot.

6557379 Power cables are not redundant on single

power feed servers without the dual power feed option.

Issue a reset -all command from the OpenBoot PROM (OK) prompt and reboot.

On servers that have single power feed, all power cables must be connected and powered on at all times.

Sun Crypto Accelerator 6000 Cards

If you are not using the correct version of the Sun Crypto Accelerator (SCA) 6000 card driver, hot-plug operations on SCA 6000 cards can cause Sun SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000 servers to panic or hang. Version 1.1 of the SCA6000 driver and firmware supports hot-plug operations after the required bootstrap firmware upgrade has been performed. Version 1.0 of the SCA6000 driver does not support hot-plug and should not be used.
