Hardware Diagnostic Suite Software Bugs

Serial Port Break Sequence (4912141)

Testing the serial port on a system with an active terminal connection (TIP session) to a second system causes the second system to go to the OpenBoot PROM OK prompt. The break sequence is part of the test on the serial port. No notification is provided that a break sequence will be sent to the Sun Management Center console.

Workaround: If the second system has a keyswitch, set the keyswitch to the lock position to prevent the reaction of the break sequence. In addition, on the second system, type the following command before the test is run.

# kbd -a disable

A full Hardware Diagnostic Suite test on the enclosure for a Sun StorEdge D1000 might still report a non-critical error, such as a pulled power supply cable, even after the problem has been fixed.

Workaround: Restart the Sun Management Center agent connected to the Sun StorEdge D1000 system.
