Updates to the Sun Server X4-2 Service Manual

The Sun Server X4-2 Service Manual that is included on the Oracle System Assistant USB flash drive, which is embedded in the server, needs the following correction:

  • The TLI is stored in the FRUID (field-replaceable unit identifiers) of these components: power distribution board (PDB), motherboard (MB), and disk backplane (DBP). This statement is incorrect. The TLI is actually stored in power supply 0 (PSU 0), the motherboard (MB), and the disk backplane DBP).

  • The IO menu PCI Subsystem Settings option in the BIOS Setup Utility is disabled by default. This statement is incorrect. The default setting for this BIOS option is “enabled.” For more information on the impact of enabling this option, see Oracle Solaris 10 1/13 Does Not Support PCI Subsystem Settings Option Enabled in the BIOS Setup Utility IO Menu.

  • The following note should be added to “Install Power Supply” procedure:


    Note -  After you have replaced Power Supply 0, you must reset the Oracle ILOM service processor (SP) to propagate the FRU top-level indicator (TLI) data to the new power supply. For instructions on resetting the SP, see the Oracle ILOM Administrator's Guide for Configuration and Maintenance at https://www.oracle.com/goto/ilom/docs. Power Supply 1 does not contain FRU TLI data, and therefore does not require an SP reset after replacement.

The Sun Server X4-2 Service Manual shows incorrect procedures and examples for installing a processor in the server. Replace the procedures and examples for steps 16a and 16b under "Install a Processor" with the following:

  • a. To show server faults, log in to the server as root using the Oracle ILOM CLI, and type the following command to list all known faults on the server:

    > show /SP/faultmgmt

    The server lists all known faults, for example:

    > show /SP/faultmgmt
      Targets:
          0 (/SYS/MB/P0)
      Properties:
      Commands:
          cd
          show
    
  • b. To clear the fault identified in Step 16.a, type the following command:

    > set /SYS/MB/P0 clear_fault_action=true

    For example:

    > set /SYS/MB/P0 clear_fault_action=true
    Are you sure you want to clear /SYS/MB/P0 (y/n)? y
    Set ‘clear_fault_action' to ‘true'
