Known Issues

This section describes known issues in this release.

General Functionality Issues and Limitations

■ Domains using the ZFS file system can not use Dynamic Reconfiguration.

■ SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000 servers are cold service machines. Hot-swapping

of the CPU/Memory board unit (CMU), I/O Unit (IOU), or any eXtended System
Control Facility (XSCF) unit is not supported.

■ For this XCP release, the XSCF web browser interface, also known as the browser

user interface (BUI) does not support the COD and External I/O Expansion Unit
Manager feature.

■ The XSCF web browser interface, also known as the browser user interface (BUI),

supports the following new functions in this release.

■ Domain/system operation function

■ Function concerning the XSCF firmware configuration

■ Log data reference

■ Component configuration data display

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

■ 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 (EPC) 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)

Issues and Limitations Fixed in Solaris 10 8/07

■ Dynamic Reconfiguration (DR) is not recommended in cases below, due to the

following restrictions on the DR addboard(8), deleteboard(8), and moveboard
(8) commands. Please contact your Sales representative or Technical Support for
additional information and software support.

SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000 Servers Product Notes 3

■ The target board (SB/XSB) with optional I/O cards because of some restrictions

on specific cards.

Caution – Use of DR in an unsupported configuration might result in a domain

panic or might hang the system.

■ PCI Hotplug feature is not available for this release.

Please contact your sales representative or technical support for additional
information and software support.

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.

Notes for 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 may be
displayed when you perform the firmware update.

■ 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.
