Sun Fire Link Bugs

Node Failure During Link Bring-Up Might Cause Sun Management Center Console and Fabric Details Windows to Freeze (4857941)

If a node fails after a cluster has been configured, but before all the links have been brought up, the Sun Management Center console and Fabric Details windows might freeze.

Workaround: If a node fails while you are creating a partition and the Cancel button on the Add Node dialog box does not work, perform the following steps:

1. To stop the fabric, use the command stopfabric with the -f option.

   # /opt/SUNWwcfm/stopfabric -f fabric-name

2. Restart the stopped fabric:

   # /opt/SUNWwcfm/startfabric fabric-name

3. Resume managing the fabric from the Sun Management Center console.

Striping Level 1 for Sun Fire Link Switch Configuration Not Supported (4858050)

If you select a striping level of 1 for a Sun Fire Link Switch configuration, the striping level is automatically upgraded to a 2. However, that level is not reflected in the Fabric Details window of the Sun Management Center console.

Workaround: Do not select a striping level of 1 for a Sun Fire Link Switch. A striping level of 1 is not supported for a Sun Fire Link Switch configuration.

Sun Management Center Is Slow to Update Link Status When a Cluster Node Goes Down (4644785)

If a cluster node goes down while the link status is being displayed in the Fabric Details window, the Sun Management Center console might not update the status of the affected links for an hour or more. Moreover, if the cluster node is restored, and the links are re–established, the Fabric Details window might continue to display the links as down.

Workaround: Use the Refresh button to manually refresh the status information.

Sun Fire Link Interconnect Fabric Name Is Not Updated When a New Fabric Is Loaded (4771624)

If you unload and stop a fabric, and then load another fabric with a different name, the Sun Fire Link (SFL) object icon that is displayed in the Sun Management Center console window will retain the name of the removed fabric. However, the Fabric icon label will show the name of the new fabric.

Workaround: After unloading and stopping the fabric you want to replace, delete the corresponding composite object.

Configured Node Might Be Missing Under Sun Fire Link Object (4855154)

A cluster node that has been successfully configured into a fabric might not be displayed under the Sun Fire Link object for the same fabric.

Workaround: Before you add nodes to a fabric, you must discover all cluster nodes by using the Sun Management Center console. If you do not discover all cluster nodes before you add the nodes to the fabric, problems are encountered. This bug is one example of the types of problems you might encounter.

Manage Registered Nodes Menu Option Might Not Be Displayed (4855259)

If you access the fabric icon pop-up menu by pressing mouse button 3 from within Sun Management Center's Fabric Details window, the Manage Registered Nodes menu option might not be displayed.

Workaround: Use the Fabric menu to select the Manage Registered Nodes option instead.

Switch Physical View or Logical View Alarm Color Not Shown (4855551)

When an alarm is triggered in the Sun Fire Link switch module, the switch physical view or logical view (PV/LV) does not show the alarm color.

Workaround: You can view the correct alarm colors in the module's browser and the alarms table.

Scroll Bar Not Displayed on Right Side of Fabric Details Window (4856536)

The Fabric Details window does not include a scroll bar in the large icon view of the Chassis & Links perspective. The scroll bar should always be displayed when the image is larger than the Fabric Details window. This visibility allows viewing of all the nodes in a large partition.

Workaround: While in the Chassis & Links perspective, change from the large icon view to the small icon view. The scroll bar will be displayed. Then change back to the large icon view. The scroll bar will remain displayed.

Changing to the Nodes & Routes perspective from the large icon Chassis & Links perspective will also display the scroll bar. However, when you change back to the large icon Chassis & Links perspective, the scroll bar will no longer be available.

Empty Grey Box Might Be Displayed in Fabric Details Window for Chassis & Links Perspective (4856884)

In the Sun Management Center Fabric Details window, when you're in the Chassis & Links perspective, an empty grey box might be displayed in the following instances:

• Before you have added a switch to a newly created partition object.

• After you have deleted the last switch from a single partition when unconfiguring the fabric.

Workaround: Ignore the empty grey box. If you add a switch to that partition, the grey box will contain a switch graphic.

Fabric Manager Remote Shared Memory Proxy Has Memory Leak (4863270)

The Sun Fire Link Fabric Manager Remote Shared Memory (WRSM) proxy leaks memory whenever the proxy receives an event from the kernel system event notification daemon, syseventd(1M).

Workaround: Stop and restart the WRSM proxies on each node. Use the following commands:

# /etc/init.d/wrsm_proxy stop

# /etc/init.d/wrsm_proxy start

Data Missing From Route Properties Window (4771419)

When displaying route properties data in a Fabric Details context, some data might be missing from the To and From fields of the table.

Workaround: None.
