3. Connect the power cables to the rear of the server and secure them with the cable retention clamps.

4. Run the power cables beneath the CMA and secure them in place with tie wraps.

The power cables and infiniband cables should hang loosely in a service loop behind the server or the CMA might not be able to fully retract.

5. Ensure that the server can slide in and out of the equipment rack without dislodging the power cables.

7. Tighten the four (4) captive screws at the front of the server to secure the server in the equipment rack.

Installing the Extra Brackets (Optional)

The following information belongs in the Sun SPARC Enterprise Equipment Rack Mounting Guide.

If additional attachment points are required to route the cables, you can install the extra brackets that are in the bracket kit. The bracket kit contains the following:

These brackets can be used with or without the CMA for the Sun SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000 servers.

2. Slide the server out of the rack several inches for access to the rear of the Sun Rack.

3. Position the cage nuts behind the threaded ears of the Sun Rack and insert the two (2) screws through the bracket and rack ear (FIGURE 5).

Brackets should be positioned near the top level of the server or slightly below it.

The flat edges of the cage nuts should be aligned with the rack post to prevent the server from scraping against it.

5. Insert velcro strips in the desired slots of the bracket to hold back cables.

Built-in cutouts along the sides of the Sun Rack can also be used to insert velcro strips to hold back cables, as desired.

Software and Firmware Issues

XCP Issues and Workarounds

TABLE 7 XCP Issues and Workarounds
CR ID	Description	Workaround
6565422	The `Latest communication` field in `showarchiving` is not updated regularly.	Disabling and re-enabling archiving refreshes the `Latest communication` field in `showarchiving` output.
6577801	An incorrect domain state is reported. After the command `sendbreak` is issued to a domain, `showdomainstatus` shows the state as “Running” when the domain is at the “ok” prompt.	There is no workaround. This is a side effect of the `sendbreak` operation.
6588650	On occasion, the system is unable to DR after an XSCF failure-and-reboot.	There is no workaround. Check for the availability of a patch for this defect.
6589870	A user account name which consists of 32 characters will display "Permission denied".	Use up to 31 characters to set the XSCF user account name.
6590920	The CLI ’showldap -c’ (which displays current LDAP certificates) will show proper data only when used with the same user account that had originally provided certificate information using ’setldap -c’. Any other user account will generate "Permission denied" error. Similarly, the XSCF Web’s LDAP Configuration pop-up screen will display no data, when a different user account is used.	Use the same user account for all LDAP display or configuration operations, for both CLI and XSCF Web.
6598444	The XSCF firmware monitors itself and if it detects any inconsistencies, it forces an XSCF reboot.	There is no workaround. Allow the XSCF Unit to finish rebooting. It returns to normal operation within approximately five minutes.
6626183	When Internet Explorer 7 browser is used, the License key deletion cannot be executed on the BUI COD page.	Use other browsers: Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 Firefox 2.0 or later Mozilla 1.7 or later Netscape Navigator 7.1 or later

Solaris Issues and Workarounds

TABLE 8 Solaris Issues and Workarounds
CR ID	Description	Workaround
6348554	Using the `cfgadm -c disconnect` command on the following cards might hang the command: SG-XPCIE2FC-QF4 Sun StorageTek Enterprise Class 4Gb Dual-Port Fibre Channel PCI-E HBA SG-XPCIE1FC-QF4 Sun StorageTek Enterprise Class 4Gb Single-Port Fibre Channel PCI-E HBA SG-XPCI2FC-QF4 Sun StorageTek Enterprise Class 4Gb Dual-Port Fibre Channel PCI-X HBA SG-XPCI1FC-QF4 Sun StorageTek Enterprise Class 4Gb Single-Port Fibre Channel PCI-X HBA	Do not perform `cfgadm -c` `disconnect` operation on the affected cards. Check `http://sunsolve.sun.com` for patch 126670-01.
6459540	The DAT72 internal tape drive might time out during tape operations. The device might also be identified by the system as a QIC drive.	Add the following definition to `/kernel/drv/st.conf`: `tape-config-list=` `"SEAGATE DAT DAT72-000",` `"SEAGATE_DAT____DAT72-000",` `"SEAGATE_DAT____DAT72-000";` `SEAGATE_DAT____DAT72-000=1,0x34,0,0x9639,4,0x00,0x8c,0x8c,` `0x8c,3;` There are four spaces between “SEAGATE DAT and DAT72-000.
6472153	If you create a Solaris Flash archive on a non-Sun SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000 sun4u server and install it on a Sun SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000 sun4u server, the console’s TTY flags will not be set correctly. This can cause the console to lose characters during stress.	Just after installing Solaris OS from a Solaris Flash archive, telnet into the Sun SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000 server to reset the console’s TTY flags as follows: # `sttydefs -r console`# `sttydefs -a console -i "9600 hupcl opost onlcr crtscts" -f "9600"` This procedure is required only once.
6508432	A large number of spurious PCIe correctable errors can be recorded in the FMA error log.	To mask these errors, add the following entry to `/etc/system` and reboot the system: `set pcie:pcie_aer_ce_mask = 0x2001` This bug has been fixed in Solaris 10 8/07.
6510861	When using the PCIe Dual-Port Ultra320 SCSI controller card (SG-(X)PCIE2SCSIU320Z), a PCIe correctable error causes a Solaris panic.	Add the following entry to `/etc/system` to prevent the problem: `set pcie:pcie_aer_ce_mask = 0x31c1` This bug has been fixed in Solaris 10 8/07.
6511374	Memory translation warning messages might appear during boot if memory banks were disabled due to excessive errors.	After the system is rebooted, the `fmadm repair` command may be used to prevent a recurrence of the problem on the next boot.
6520990	When a domain reboots, SCF might not be able to service other domains that share the same physical board. DR operation can exceed the default timeout period and panic can occur.	Increase the DR timeout period by setting the following statement in /etc/system and reboot your system.: set drmach:fmem_timeout = 30 This workaround is not needed if no physical board is shared among multiple domains This bug has been fixed in Solaris 10 8/07.
6522017	DR and ZFS might not be used in the same domain.	Set the maximum size of the ZFS ARC lower. For detailed assistance contact Sun Service.
6522433	The incorrect motherboard may be identified by `fmdump` for cpu faults after reboot.	None at this time. Check for the availability of a patch for this defect.
6522017	Domains using the ZFS file system cannot use DR.	Set the maximum size of the ZFS ARC lower. For detailed assistance contact Sun Service.
6527781	The `cfgadm` command fails while moving the DVD/DAT drive between two domains.	There is no workaround. To reconfigure DVD/Tape drive, execute `reboot -r` from the domain exhibiting the problem. This bug has been fixed in Solaris 10 8/07.
6527811	The `showhardconf`(8) command on the XSCF cannot display PCI card information that is installed in the External I/O Expansion Unit, if the External I/O Expansion Unit is configured using PCI hot-plug.	There is no workaround. When each PCI card in the External I/O Expansion Unit is configured using PCI hotplug, the PCI card information is displayed correctly.
6530178	DR `addboard` command can hang. Once the problem is observed, further DR operations are blocked. Recovery requires reboot of the domain.	There is no workaround. Check for the availability of a patch for this defect. This bug has been fixed in Solaris 10 8/07.
6531036	The error message network initialization failed can appear repeatedly after boot net installation.	There is no workaround.
6533686	An error condition can occur when a physical board is shared between 2 domains.	If the board is shared between domains, do not use DR at the same time on this shared board.
6534471	Systems might panic/trap during normal operation.	`Make sure you have the correct /etc/system parameter` and reboot the system`: set heaplp_use_stlb=0` This bug has been fixed in Solaris 10 8/07.
6539084	There is a low probability of a domain panic during reboot when the Sun Quad GbE UTP x8 PCIe (X4447A-Z) card is present in a domain. This defect only applies to Solaris 10 11/06.	There is no workaround. Check for the availability of a patch for this defect. Check `http://sunsolve.sun.com` for patch 125670-01.
6539909	Do not use the following I/O cards for network access when you are using the `boot net install` command to install the Solaris OS: X4447A-Z/X4447A-Z, PCIe Quad-port Gigabit Ethernet Adapter UTP X1027A-Z/X1027A-Z, PCIe Dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet Fiber XFP	When running Solaris 10 11/06, use an alternate type of network card or onboard network device to install the Solaris OS via the network. This defect does not exist in Solaris 10 8/07.
6545143	When kcage daemon is expanding the kcage area, if the user stack exists in the expanded area, its area is demapped and might cause a ptl_1 panic during the flushw handler execution.	There is no workaround. Check for the availability of a patch for this defect.
6545685	If the system has detected Correctible Memory Errors (CE) at power-on self-test (POST), the domains might incorrectly degrade 4 or 8 DIMMs.	Increase the memory patrol timeout values used via the following setting in `/etc/system` and reboot the system: `set mc-opl:mc_max_rewrite_loop = 20000`
6546188	The system panics when running hot-plug (`cfgadm`) and DR operations (`addboard` and `deleteboard) on`: X4447A-Z, PCI-e Quad-port Gigabit Ethernet Adapter UTP X1027A-Z1, PCI-e Dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet Fiber XFP Low profile Adapter	For Solaris 10 8/07, check `http://sunsolve.sun.com` for patch 127741-01. For Solaris 10 11/06, check `http://sunsolve.sun.com` for patch 125670-04. Note: See CR ID 6608404 regarding issues with hot-plug of these cards in slot 1.
6551356	The system panics when running hot-plug (`cfgadm`) to configure a previously unconfigured card. The message "WARNING: PCI Expansion ROM is not accessible" will be seen on the console shortly before the system panic. The following cards are affected by this defect: X4447A-Z, PCI-e Quad-port Gigabit Ethernet Adapter UTP X1027A-Z1, PCI-e Dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet Fiber XFP Low profile Adapter	DO NOT use `cfgadm -c unconfigure` to disconnect the I/O card. Perform `cfgadm -c disconnect` to completely remove the card. After waiting at least 10 seconds, the card might be configured back into the domain using the `cfgadm -c configure` command. For Solaris 10 8/07, check `http://sunsolve.sun.com` for patch 127741-01.
6556742	The system panics when DiskSuite cannot read the `metadb` during DR. This bug affects the following cards: SG-XPCIE2FC-QF4, 4Gb PCI-e Dual-Port Fibre Channel HBA SG-XPCIE1FC-QF4, 4Gb PCI-e Single-Port Fibre Channel HBA SG-XPCI2FC-QF4, 4Gb PCI-X Dual-Port Fibre Channel HBA SG-XPCI1FC-QF4, 4Gb PCI-X Single-Port Fibre Channel HBA	Panic can be avoided when a duplicated copy of the `metadb` is accessible via another Host Bus Adaptor. Or you can apply patch 125166-06. Check `http://sunsolve.sun.com` for patch 125166-06.
6559504	Messages of the form `nxge: NOTICE: nxge_ipp_eccue_valid_check: rd_ptr = nnn wr_ptr = nnn` will be observed on the console with the following cards: X4447A-Z, PCI-e Quad-port Gigabit Ethernet Adapter UTP X1027A-Z1, PCI-e Dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet Fiber XFP Low profile Adapter	These messages can be safely ignored. For Solaris 10 8/07, check `http://sunsolve.sun.com` for patch 127741-01.
6563785	Hot-plug operation with the following cards might fail during back-to-back disconnect and connect operations: SG-XPCIE2SCSIU320Z Sun StorageTek PCI-E Dual-Port Ultra320 SCSI HBA SGXPCI2SCSILM320-Z Sun StorageTek PCI Dual-Port Ultra320 SCSI HBA	After disconnecting a card, wait for a few seconds before re-connecting. Check `http://sunsolve.sun.com` for patch 127750-01.
6564332	Hot-plug operations on Sun Crypto Accelerator (SCA) 6000 cards can cause Sun SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000 servers to panic or hang.	Hot-plug does not work for the SCA6000 when running version 1.0 of the SCA6000 driver and should not be attempted. Version 1.1 of the SCA6000 driver and firmware supports hot-plug operations after the required bootstrap firmware upgrade has been performed. Note: See CR ID 6619344 for issues with hot-plug of Sun Crypto Accelerator (SCA) 6000 cards in slot-1.
6564934	Performing a DR `deleteboard` operation on a board which includes Permanent Memory when using the following network cards results in broken connections: X4447A-Z, PCI-e Quad-port Gigabit Ethernet Adapter UTP X1027A-Z1, PCI-e Dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet Fiber XFP Low profile Adapter	Re-configure the affected network interfaces after the completion of the DR operation. For basic network configuration procedures, refer to the `ifconfig` man page for more information. Check `http://sunsolve.sun.com` for patch 127741-01.
6568417	After a successful CPU DR `deleteboard` operation, the system panics when the following network interfaces are in use: X4447A-Z, PCI-e Quad-port Gigabit Ethernet Adapter UTP X1027A-Z1, PCI-e Dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet Fiber XFP Low profile Adapter	Add the following line to `/etc/system` and reboot the system: `set ip:ip_soft_rings_cnt=0` Check `http://sunsolve.sun.com` for patch 127111-02.
6571370	Use of the following cards have been observed to cause data corruption in stress test under laboratory conditions: X4447A-Z, PCI-e Quad-port Gigabit Ethernet Adapter UTP X1027A-Z1, PCI-e Dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet Fiber XFP Low profile Adapter	Add the following line in `/etc/system` and reboot the system: `set nxge:nxge_rx_threshold_hi=0` For Solaris 10 8/07, check `http://sunsolve.sun.com` for patch 127741-01. For Solaris 10 11/06, check `http://sunsolve.sun.com` for patch 125670-04.
6572827	On Sun SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000 platforms, one of the columns in the IO Devices section of the output from `prtdiag -v` is "Type". This reports "PCIe", "PCIx", "PCI" or "UNKN" for each device. The algorithm used to compute this value is incorrect. It reports "PCI" for PCI-X leaf devices and "UNKN" for legacy PCI devices.	There is no workaround.
6575970	DR and XSCF failover are not compatible.	Do not start an XSCF failover while a DR operation is running. Wait for a DR operation to finish before starting the failover. If you start the failover first, wait for the failover to finish before starting the DR operation.
6583035	After using the `addfru` or `replacefru` command to hotplug a CMU, further DR operations might fail with a misleading message regarding the board being unavailable for DR.	When performing the `addfru` and `replacefru` commands, it is mandatory to run diagnostic tests. If you forget to run the diagnostic tests during `addfru`/`replacefru` then either run `testsb` to test the CMU or remove the CMU/IOU with the `deletefru` command and then use the `addfru` command with the diagnostic tests.
6589833	The DR `addboard` command might cause a system hang if you are adding a Sun StorageTek Enterprise Class 4Gb Dual-Port Fibre Channel PCI-E HBA card (SG-XPCIE2FC-QF4) at the same time that an SAP process is attempting to access storage devices attached to this card. The chance of a system hang is increased if the following cards are used for heavy network traffic: X4447A-Z, PCI-e Quad-port Gigabit Ethernet Adapter UTP X1027A-Z1, PCI-e Dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet Fiber XFP Low profile Adapter	There is no workaround. Check for the availability of a patch for this defect.
6592302	Unsuccessful DR operation leaves memory partially configured.	It might be possible to recover by adding the board back to the domain with an `addboard -d` command.
6608404	Hot-plug of the X4447A-Z, PCI-e Quad-port Gigabit Ethernet Adapter UTP card in slot 1 might cause other network devices to fail.	To avoid the defect, do not install this card in slot 1.
6619344	The Sun Crypto Accelerator (SCA) 6000 card might not work if hot-plug configured into slot 1.	To avoid the defect, do not hot-plug this card in slot 1.

Preparing to Upgrade to XCP 1050 or Later

Use the showuser -lu command to list all XSCF accounts. Any accounts named admin must be deleted prior to upgrading to XCP 1050. This account name is reserved in XCP 1050 and higher. Use the deleteuser command to delete the account.

13. After 30 seconds, turn the power switches back on.

14. Wait until the XSCF firmware reaches the ready state.

This can be confirmed when the READY LED of the XSCF remains lit.

15. Log in on to the XSCFU using a serial connection or LAN connection.

16. Confirm no abnormality occurred by using showlogs error -v and showstatus commands.

XSCF> showlogs error -v
XSCF> showstatus

If you encounter any hardware abnormality of the XSCF contact your authorized service representative.

17. Power on all domains.

XSCF> poweron -a

18. Log in to the XSCFU and confirm all domains start up properly.

XSCF> showlogs power

19. Check that there are no new errors.

XSCF> showlogs error

In case an abnormality is encountered, contact your authorized service representative.

If no abnormality is found, proceed to Step 20.

20. Move position of the key switch on the operator panel from Service to Lock.

Identifying Permanent Memory in a Target Board

1. Log in to XSCF.

2. Type the following command:

XSCF> showdevices -d domain_id

The following example shows a display of the showdevices -d command where 0 is the domain_id.

XSCF> showdevices -d 0

The entry for column 4 perm mem MB indicates the presence of permanent memory if the value is non-zero.

The example shows permanent memory on 00-2, with 1674 MB.

If the board includes permanent memory and executes the deleteboard command or moveboard command, the following notification is displayed:

Booting From a WAN Boot Server

To support booting the Sun SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000 server from a WAN boot server:

1. Install the Solaris 10 11/06 OS on the WAN boot server.

2. Copy the wanboot executable from that release to the appropriate location on the install server. If you need further instructions, refer to the Solaris 10 Installation Guide: Network-Based Installations or refer to:

http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-5504/6mkv4nh65?a=view

3. Create a WAN boot miniroot from the Solaris 10 11/06 OS. If you need further instructions, refer to:

http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-5504/6mkv4nh63?a=view

If you do not upgrade the wanboot executable, the Sun SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000 server will panic, with messages similar to the following:

krtld: load_exec: fail to expand cpu/$CPUkrtld: error during initial load/link phasepanic - boot: exitto64 returned from client program

See http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-5504/6mkv4nh5i?a=view for more information on WAN boot.

Add the following Note: Note: In addition to the standard default login, Sun SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 servers are delivered with a temporary login called admin to enable remote initial login, through a serial port. Its privileges are fixed to useradmin and cannot be changed. You cannot log in as temporary admin using the standard UNIX user name and password authentication or SSH public key authentication. It has no password, and one cannot be added for it. The temporary admin account is disabled after someone logs in as the default user, or after someone logged in as temporary admin has successfully added the first user with valid password and privileges. If, before the default login is used, you cannot log in as temporary admin, you can determine if someone else has done so by executing the following command: `showuser -l`
