In addition, references to the ILOM 3.0 documents in which the new features are described in detail are provided.
Topics in the chapter include:
The following table identifies new features available in the ILOM 3.0.12 and ILOM 3.0.14 releases. References to the appropriate guides in the ILOM 3.0 Documentation Collection that describe the features are also provided.
This section describes the issues that have been resolved as of the ILOM 3.0.14 release. Specific change request (CR) identification numbers and workarounds for the issues are provided, where available.
Issue: When you upgrade the SP firmware, you can choose to upgrade the BIOS firmware immediately or to delay the BIOS upgrade until a later time. If you choose to immediately upgrade the BIOS, the SP firmware is upgraded, the host is forced to power off, and the SP reboots. If you choose to delay the BIOS upgrade, the SP firmware is upgraded and the SP reboots.
Update: This issue is expected system behavior and will not be fixed. For workaround instructions, see BIOS Upgrade Is Delayed After SP Reboot.
Issue: The reset_to_defaults command enables a user to reset the ILOM configuration back to the default values. However, external serial port settings are not reset when reset_to_defaults action is performed.
Update: The serial port settings are now set back to the factory default 9600 baud rate when the reset_to_defaults action is performed.
Issue: When logging in to a CMM using the CLI, the hourly power history includes an entry with a timestamp one hour into the future. This entry shows the average power from the prior timestamp to the current moment.
Update: This issue is expected system behavior and will not be fixed. No workaround exists for this issue.
Issue: When using a Windows client to redirect a CD-ROM image or floppy image from the ILOM Remote Console, the ILOM Remote Console might not respond.
Update: This issue has been fixed.
Issue: When the SP firmware is updated from ILOM 2.0 to 3.0, the ILOM web interface might not be able to retrieve the remote host power state after the upgrade completes. If this occurs, a blank page appears on the Remote Power Control tab.
Update: This issue is expected system behavior and will not be fixed. For workaround instructions, see Unable to Retrieve Host Power State After Upgrading ILOM Firmware From 2.0 to 3.0.
Issue: Unknown sensor LED statuses are shown in the ILOM web interface when using IPMItool to monitor Oracle servers. This issue is likely to occur when concurrently running the SP and the IPMI KCS interface from the operating system (OS). As a result of this configuration, the IPMI messages are overloaded to the SP.
Update: This was reported and fixed in ILOM 3.0.6.
Issue: The following console error message might appear after backing up and restoring the ILOM configuration.
bind (udp): Address already in use
Update: This was reported as a known issue in ILOM 3.0.6. This is a benign error message and is no longer reproducible as of ILOM 3.0.10.
Issue: When power is being limited by the ILOM Power Management feature, the Windows Server 2008 R2 operating system will generate warning messages in the System Event Log informing the user that the processor(s) are being restricted.
Update: This issue is expected system behavior and will not be fixed. No workaround exists for this issue.
Issue: You might experience up to a 5-minute delay before storage monitoring information is present or up to date in the ILOM CLI or the web interface. This delay typically occurs after:
Update: This issue is expected system behavior and will not be fixed. This 5-minute delay only occurs after installation of the required System Management Pack or after RAID or disk updates have been made to the system.
Issue: When upgrading ILOM from the Oracle Hardware Installation Assistant (HIA) using the inband interface, HIA might not (on some Oracle servers) display the running version of ILOM.
Update: This issue is expected system behavior and will not be fixed. Use the ILOM web interface to determine the running version of ILOM.
CR 6913593, 6850456, and 6916007
Issue: On some platform servers, ILOM displays null DIMM FRU data fields after upgrading or downgrading the ILOM SP firmware (between 3.0.3 and 3.0.9) with the Delay BIOS Update option enabled.
Update: This was reported as a known issue in ILOM 3.0.9. This issue was fixed as of ILOM 3.0.9 by adding workaround instructions to the Oracle ILOM 3.0 Feature Updates and Release Notes. For workaround instructions, see DIMM FRU Data Fields Are Null After Downgrading or Upgrading SP Firmware Between 3.0.3 and 3.0.9.
Issue: If the Internet Explorer (IE) web browser Security option for Save Encrypted Pages To Disk is enabled, an error message appears when attempting to collect SP data using the Service Snapshot Utility.
Update: This was reported as a known issue in ILOM 3.0.9. This issue was fixed as of ILOM 3.0.9 by adding workaround instructions to the Oracle ILOM 3.0 Feature Updates and Release Notes. For workaround instructions, see Service Snapshot Utility Unable to Collect SP Data When IE Web Browser Security Option Is Enabled.
Issue: The service for the Storage Redirection CLI feature in ILOM fails to start if the 64-bit JDK file type is specified to start the service.
Update: Procedures have been added to the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 CLI Procedures Guide (820-6412) instructing users to specify the 32-bit JDK file when using either the FireFox web browser or Internet Explorer web browser.
Issue: The ILOM Remote Console feature fails to launch if the 64-bit JDK file type is specified by the web browser.
Update: Procedures have been added to the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 Web Interface Procedures Guide (820-6410) instructing users to specify the 32-bit JDK file when using either the FireFox web browser or Internet Explorer web browser.
Issue: When you redirect a DVD (physical driver or image file) from Oracle Solaris to Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), the floppy and CD-ROM icon will appear in RHEL, but when you click the CD-ROM icon you are unable to see the content of the DVD.
Update: This was reported as a known issue in ILOM 3.0.10. This issue was fixed as of ILOM 3.0.10 by adding workaround instructions to the Oracle ILOM 3.0 Feature Updates and Release Notes. For workaround instructions, see DVD Redirection From Solaris Client to RHEL Host Requires Manual Mount.
Issue. Due to increased SSL security in ILOM, Internet Explorer (IE) 6 is unable to launch the ILOM SP web interface over HTTPS.
Update: This was reported as a known issue in ILOM 3.0.10. This issue was fixed as of ILOM 3.0.10 by adding workaround instructions to the Oracle ILOM 3.0 Feature Updates and Release Notes. For workaround instructions, see ILOM Web Interface Unable to Connect to SP When Using Internet Explorer 6.
