Sun Management Center 3.5 Release Notes

Sun Fire 15K/12K Systems Bugs

Black Splat Displayed in System Table When Failover Is in Activating Status (4852731)

A black splat that indicates an indeterminate status is displayed in the System Table when a failover is in the Activating status.

Workaround: Ignore the black splat. The functionality of the system is not affected. After the failover completes, the black splat is no longer displayed.

Memory Leak in System Controller Platform Agent (4860281)

The platform agent running on the Sun Fire 15K/12K system controller (SC) has a memory leak. The amount of leakage is minimal and will not noticeably affect the system.

Workaround: If you discover that the memory leak has increased in size to more than 10 megabytes (MB), stop and restart the platform agent on the SC.

Platform Icon Might Not Be Visible on Right Panel of Sun Management Center Console (4864183)

After creating a Sun Fire 15K/12K platform object, the platform icon view, which is located on the right panel of the Sun Management console, might no longer be visible.

Workaround: Choose from the following two workarounds:

If you have no need to use the platform icon, use the heierarchy that is located on the left panel of the Sun Management Center console for navigation.

If you prefer that the platform icon is visible, use the following command to copy the icon file into the appropriate directory:
# cp /opt/SUNWsymon/classes/base/console/cfg/topoimages \ sf15000-platform-xlarge.gif /var/opt/SUNWsymon/cfg/deviceimages \ Starcat-sf15000-platform-xlarge.gif
Note –
The new file name is different than the original file name.

Platform Agent on System Controller Stops When System Management Services Is Stopped and Cache Refresh Occurs (4822944)

If System Management Services (SMS) is stopped on the System Controller (SC), the Sun Management Center platform agent will also stop when the agent's next automatic cache refresh occurs, typically once every hour. This behavior occurs only when you start and stop the platform agent repeatedly for very short periods of time.

For example, if you repeatedly stop the platform agent for one minute, and start the platform agent for two minutes, this behavior would occur.

Workaround: Delay the frequency of starting and stopping the platform agent. For example, stop the agent for three minutes and start the agent for five minutes. If the Platform agent does stop, restart SMS, and then restart the Sun Management Center platform agent.
