These product notes provide news and issues about the Sun Blade 6048 InfiniBand QDR Switched Network Express Module (IB-QNEM).
Only Sun blades servers with Linux OS are currently supported with the IB-QNEM.
Both the IB-QNEM P0 and P1 Ethernet ports are available for a Sun Blade X6275 server module. Only the P1 Ethernet port is available for a Sun Blade X6270 server module.
Data transmission on the 1-Gbps Ethernet ports is limited to 60 meters.
This section describes the known issues and workarounds at the time of this release.
When the IB-QNEM is power-cycled or hot‐plugged, all the IB links on the two IB dual port 4x DDR PCIe Fabric Expansion Modules (FEMs) plugged into Sun Blade X6270 Server Module will be lost.
Workaround: Reboot the Sun Blade X6270 Server Module after power-cycling or hot‐plugging the IB-QNEM.
When using the ILOM IB-QNEM CLI tool, the show full_serial_no command splits the complete serial number for the IB-QNEM between the S/N and full_serial_no fields.
Using the ILOM QNEM CLI tool, the show full_serial_no command will produce output similar to the following:
-> show full_serial_no NEM1 Targets: Properties: full_serial_no = 0110SJC-0904 |
The show S/N command will produce output similar to the following:
-> show S/N NEM1 Targets: Properties: S/N = CA0036 |
Workround: To obtain the complete serial number, concatenate the values in the full_serial_no and S/N fields. For the example above the full serial number would be 0110SJC‐0904CA0036Aternatively, use the ipmitool fru print command which will produce output similar to the following:
Board Product: ASSY,SB6048 QDR NEM Board Serial: 0110SJC-0904CA0036 Board Part Number: 541-3378-01 |
The full serial number would be 0110SJC-0904CA0036. Please check for the availability of a patch for this defect
