Entry-Level Platform (ELP) Bugs

Sun XVR-1200 Graphics Accelerator Could Be Incorrectly Listed as XVR-500 in Sun Blade 2500 Systems (4856644)

The Sun XVR-1200 Graphics Accelerator might incorrectly use the same device name as the Sun XVR 500 graphics accelerator. Thus, the Sun XVR-1200 would be listed as XVR-500 in the Expansion Card Table and Physical View on Sun Blade 2500 systems.

Workaround: To verify if the graphics accelerator is listed correctly, check the IO Devices section of the output of the /usr/platform/<i>platform-name</i>/sbin/prtdiag command. In this command, <i>platform-name</i> must be replaced with the entire output of the uname -i command on your system.

Physical Component Descriptions Not Displayed on Sun Fire V440 and Netra 240/440 Servers (6289784)

The physical component descriptions of the Entry-Level Platforms Config Reader incorrectly display “--” as Model Name, Part Number, Version, and Serial Number on Sun Fire V440 servers with Solaris 9 4/04 and Solaris 10 software installed.

Workaround: None.

Using the psradm Command to Take CPUs Offline Fails to Generate an Alarm (6296273)

An alarm is not generated by the agent when a CPU is taken offline with the psradm -f command. Additionally, when the CPU is brought back online, the Processors table does not immediately update the CPU as online.

Workaround: To see an updated status, click other tables in the GUI and then click the table of interest. A default refresh interval updates all the tables once an hour.

Physical View Does Not Display the CD/DVD Drive on Sun Fire V240 Servers (6300856)

The Physical View of Sun Fire V240 servers with Solaris 8 software installed does not display the CD/DVD drive. Information similar to the following is displayed:

sd30  Soft Errors: 0 Hard Errors: 2 Transport Errors: 0

Vendor: TEAC  Product: DV-28E-C   Revision: 1.4B Serial No:

Size: 18446744073.71GB <-1 bytes>

Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 2 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0

Illegal Request: 0 Predictive Failure Analysis: 0

Workaround: None.

Physical View Incorrectly Displays Two CPU Fans on Sun Blade 2500 Workstations (6308577)

On Sun Blade 2500 workstations with one CPU, the physical view incorrectly displays two CPU fans. This issue also results in a blue alarm for the nonexistent second CPU fan with Operational Status “Lost Comms.” in the Config Reader's Physical Components/Fans table.

Workaround: None.

Critical Temperature Values Might not Trigger Alarms on Sun Fire 1500 Workstations Due to Incomplete Config Reader Information (6297620)

The Environmental Sensors/Temperature Sensors table on Sun Blade 1500 workstations lists only the Ambient and Die CPU temperature sensors. The sys-in Ambient temperature sensor is not listed in the table, which could result in critical temperatures not triggering alarms. All of these temperature readings are listed in the PICL output.

Workaround: None.

Critical Temperature Values Might not Trigger Alarms on Sun Fire 2500 Workstations Due to Incomplete Config Reader Information (6298965)

The Environmental Sensors/Temperature Sensors table of the ELP config reader on Sun Blade 2500 workstations lists only the Ambient-0 CPU Die, and hard-disk temperature sensors. The sys-in, sys-out, and Ambient-1 temperature sensors are not listed in the table, which could result in critical temperatures not triggering alarms. All of these temperature readings are listed in the PICL output.

Workaround: None.

Disk Count on ELP Platforms Incorrectly Includes the CD/DVD Drive (6307965)

On all ELP platforms, the Total Disks in the Hardware Summary of the Hardware tab (the System node property value for Total Disks) incorrectly includes the CD/DVD drive. Thus, on ELP platforms with four disks and an optical drive, the Disk Count displays 5.

Workaround: None.

Physical View on Sun Blade 2500 Workstations Incorrectly Indicates PCI Slots as Populated (6316693)

On Sun Blade 2500 workstations, the rear view of the Physical View incorrectly indicates PCI card slots as populated. For example, on a system with only one PCI card in slot 5, the rear view indicates that slots 0, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are populated. However, none of the nonexistent card images are highlighted when the mouse is moved over them. Only the image for the slot with the card inserted (5 in this example) is correctly highlighted.

Workaround: Move the mouse over the slots indicated as populated to verify that they are actually populated. The correctly populated slot is highlighted when the mouse is moved over it.

Physical View on Sun Blade (Silver) Platforms Might Not Display Accurate Chassis Colors (6210876)

The Sun Management Center supplement for Sun Blade 1500/2500 (Silver) platforms leverages the existing Sun Blade 1500/2500 (Red) implementation. Thus, some of the images that are displayed in the Topology View and the platform Physical View might not match the actual physical colors of the Silver platforms.

In addition, the System-Side Physical View, which displays the Motherboard and other internal components for the Sun Blade 2500 (Silver) platform, also does not display the DIMM Duct or the Disk Fan assembly.

Workaround: None.
