This section describes known issues in this release.
Refer to the product notes for your platform for the latest information about supported functionality for your server.
When using the Manage Jobs function, if you attempt to choose objects based on the hardware platform by selecting Filter on Platform Types, it is not possible to choose Sun SPARC Enterprise Mx000 servers. The servers are not included in the list of platform types.
In the domain administration module, the Threshold Summary table for rules lists Attribute Names associated with the rules. The display of the Slot IDs included in parentheses has the following errors:
Workaround: You can see the correct display of the Slot IDs in the domain administration module's Processor Table. They are included in parentheses in the Proc ID property values. [6452450]
In the domain administration module, the CPU Status rule generates a blue info alarm when the value of the Core Status property is OFFLINE. However, the corresponding cell in the Processor table does not display the corresponding alarm color.
Workaround: Rely on the Alarms tab to indicate when this property value is OFFLINE. [6522892]
In the domain administration module, values for properties relating to DIMM count are not reported whenever there is a memory controller with no data in the table.
Workaround: You can calculate the values of the DIMM Count properties. The value of DIMM Count is equal to the value of Available Memory divided by the value of DIMM Capacity. [6538487]
Sun SPARC Enterprise M9000-32 and M9000-64 models are not differentiated in Solaris domains: Both models are represented as Sun SPARC Enterprise M9000 models. However, in this add-on software, the small icons for Solaris domains are sometimes differentiated for M9000-32 and M9000-64 models. The small icons should in fact be the same for all M9000 models. [6545749]
Memory name is not included in the memory table of the Platform Administration Module.
Workaround: Use the showstatus or showhardconf command to obtain the memory name associated with a memory error status. [6532876]
For the V_NEG12_OV sensor, the Min Alarm/Max Alarm values reported by the ioxadm command are incorrect. The incorrect values sometimes generate an out-of-range alarm in the IO Box Sensor table.
Workaround: To evaluate whether Value is out of range, ignore the negative signs for the values of the Min Alarm, Value, and Max Alarm properties. Then determine whether the value of the Value property is within range: Min Alarm 
Value Max Alarm. If the value of Value is within range, you may ignore the alarm. [6535036]
Following the removal or insertion of an I/O card, the domain dynamic reconfiguration module's IO Cards/Devices table is not updated to indicate that the card has been removed or inserted.
Workaround: Use the cfgadm command to connect the newly plugged card to the domain. The IO Cards/Devices table updates following this procedure.
[6500536, 6502750]
Operations using the addfru or deletefru command can be accomplished at the XSCF command line or using Active Management commands from within the Sun Management Center add-on software's platform administration module. After such operations have been accomplished, clicking the Refresh Now button does not always update the Physical and Logical Views correctly.
Workaround: Close and reopen the platform Details window to see the correct information. [6540531]
In the domain administration module's Processor table, an erroneous value is sometimes displayed for the SPARC Version property. The erroneous value is a large negative integer.
Workaround: Use a Solaris command, such as psrinfo, prtdiag, or prtconf, to display the correct SPARC version for the processor. [6520114]
An erroneous black "splat" warning might be generated, accompanied by a warning that contains the message "Magic Number Failed to Update."
Workaround: Stop and restart the add-on software on the Service Processor. (Refer to the chapter "Installation and Setup" in the Sun Management Center 3.6.1 Version 2 Supplement for information about stopping and restarting the software.) [6538942]
In the Sun Management Center 3.6.1 Version 2 Supplement, the information in Table
6-2, "Error Status Rule Property Values," is inaccurate.
Workaround: TABLE 3 contains the correct information.
When executed in the Korean (ko) locale, the es-setup and es-guisetup commands terminate before completion.
Workaround: From the Korean locale, switch to the C (English) locale to run the
es-setup or es-guisetup command, then switch back to the Korean locale. [6538672]
When executed in the Korean (ko) locale, the es-validate command terminates before completion. (Note that the es-validate command is not supported on the Service Processor.)
Workaround: From the Korean locale, switch to the C (English) locale to run the
es-validate command, then switch back to the Korean locale. [6490167]
