On single-processor systems, Ethernet ports NET 2 and NET3, and PCIe slots 1, 2, and 3 are not supported. However, the following Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) web interface screens incorrectly show these ports as available for use.
The Oracle ILOM System Information > Summary screen and the System Information > Networking screen show the number of supported Ethernet NICs (Network Interface Controllers) as 4 when actually only two Ethernet NICs (NET 0 and NET 1) are supported and available for use.
The Oracle ILOM System Information > PCI Devices screen shows the Maximum Add-on Devices as 6, when actually only three PCIe slots (slots 4, 5, and 6) are supported and available for use. This screen also shows the number of On-board Devices (NICs) as 4, when actually only NET 0 and NET 1 are supported and available for use.
Affected hardware and software:
Single-processor Sun Server X3-2 systems
Oracle ILOM 3.1 and 3.2
Releases 1.0 and later
Workaround:
None.
