Sun Fire Link Bugs

Using Sun Fire Link With Network Address Translation (4948690)

To use the Sun Management Center with Sun Fire Link in a Network Address Translation (NAT) environment, you must first install a patch.

Workaround: Choose a patch according to the version of Solaris that you are running:

Sun Fire Link Dialog Boxes Might Display Erroneous Information (4984273)

When using the Sun Fire Link graphical user interface (GUI) with Sun Fire midrange systems, you might encounter unexpected behavior. Dialog boxes sometimes do not close when you click the OK button. Status messages in dialog boxes might sometimes reflect outdated information.

Workaround: If you encounter this behavior, use the command-line interface (CLI) instead of the GUI for up-to-date status information.

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 powered up, the Sun Management Center console and Fabric Details windows might freeze.

Workaround: Apply a patch according to the version of Solaris that you are running:

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: Apply a patch according to the version of Solaris that you are running:

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: Apply a patch according to the version of Solaris that you are running:

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 retains the name of the removed fabric. However, the Fabric icon label shows the name of the new fabric.

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

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 the Sun Management Center 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. The scroll bar enables you to view 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 is displayed. Then change back to the large icon view. The scroll bar stays displayed.

Note –

Changing to the Nodes & Routes perspective from the large icon Chassis & Links perspective also displays the scroll bar. However, when you change back to the large icon Chassis & Links perspective, the scroll bar is no longer 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 are in the Chassis & Links perspective, an empty grey box might be displayed in the following instances:

Workaround: Apply the appropriate patch.

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

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

Workaround: For the Solaris 8 or Solaris 9 platform, apply patch 114786–02.

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.
