You might see console error messages and a core dump (ereport.chassis.software.core) when one of these conditions occurs:

• A local account has been created with a user ID explicitly assigned to a value larger than 65536 (adduser -u uid).
• An LDAP account has been used that has a UID value larger than 65536.

Use only user accounts with a user ID (UID) value between 100 and 60000. This is the range of auto-assigned UIDs for the XSCF command adduser.

6765468

When the timezone other than three characters has been set, the error logs cannot be displayed on XSCF Web “Error Log” page. In addition, XSCF Web “Panic Log” and “IPL Message Log” pages displays the date on the table with “---”.

Use the showlogs(8) command on the XSCF

shell.

6789066

In the settimezone -c adddst command, when you set eight or more letters to the abbreviation of time zone and the name of Daylight Saving Time, execution of the showlogs command induces a segmentation fault and results in an error.

Specify the abbreviation of time zone and the

name of Daylight Saving Time in seven letters

or less.

6808531

If the XSCF unit is reset, or if switchover occurs, users can no longer log in to XSCF using the LDAP server.

1. Log in to the active XSCF session with the initial account.
2. Re-import the certificate chain:

XSCF> setldap -c filename

6851009

If certain changes occur on a standalone NTP server, the XSCF connection to the NTP server is lost, and XSCF uses instead its local clock. This problem occurs with a standalone NTP server, that is, with an NTP server that syncs the time with its own local clock (LCL), not with a higher-stratum NTP server. Changes that can trigger this change include:

• Rebooting the NTP server
• Modifying the date by even one second
• Changing the NTP server stratum

Note - Before making any changes, ensure that your change has no impact on other NTP clients.

The XSCF LCL is set to 127.127.1.0.

On the NTP server, change the NTP host configuration file (/etc/inet/ntp.conf) so that the value of the local clock is a different value. Other available IDs include:

- 127.127.1.1

- 127.127.1.2

- 127.127.1.3

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.

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.

6522017

Use kmdb instead of kadb.

6872501

Cores are not offlined when requested by the XSCF..

Use fmdump(1M) with its -v option on the Service Processor to identify the faulty core. Once identified, use psradm(8) on the domain to offline the core.

6572827

The prtdiag -v command reports PCI bus types incorrectly. It reports “PCI” for PCI-X leaf devices and “UNKN” for legacy PCI devices.

There is no workaround.

6800734

deleteboard hang in a domain

There is no workaround.

6816913

The XSCF showdevices command displays the incorrect processor cache size for fractional processor cache sizes, such as displaying “5MB” when the correct display would be “5.5MB.”

Use the prtdiag(1M) command on the domain to report processor information.

6821108

DR and "showdevices" don’t work after XSCF reboot.

Reboot the XSCF service processor twice. Half the SAs are deleted the first time, half are deleted the second time, so the second addition succeeds and IPsec communication is reestablished.

6827340

DR and Memory patrol may fail due to SCF command error.

There is no workaround.

6588555

Resetting the XSCF during a DR operation on permanent memory might cause domain panic.

To avoid the defect, do not install this card in slot 1.

6614737

The DR deleteboard(8) and moveboard(8) operations might hang if any of the following conditions exist:

A DIMM has been degraded.

The domain contains system boards with different memory size.

Avoid performing DR operations if any of the following conditions exist:

• Degraded memory - To determine whether the system contains degraded memory, use the XSCF command showstatus.
• Differing memory sizes - To determine whether the domain contains system boards with different memory sizes, display the list of memory sizes using the XSCF command showdevices or the prtdiag command on the domain.

If a DR command hangs, reboot the domain to recover.

6632549

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.

6522433
