Java Enterprise System
(Java ES) software--Network Security Services (NSS) and RSA keys

The NSS shared component in the Java ES 2005Q1 software release might be adversely affected by the single-threaded floating point unit in the UltraSPARC® T1 processor on Sun Fire T2000 servers. This can result in less than optimal performance during the initial negotiation of RSA keys. If your application relies heavily on RSA negotiation, consider installing Java ES 2005Q4 and the latest recommended patches. This software is available for download at the following web site:

http://www.sun.com/software/javaenterprisesystem/

Solaris Predictive Self-Healing (PSH) feature

The Solaris PSH implementation is not fully implemented in this release of the product. If a PSH message with a message ID of FMD-8000-OW occurs, refer to the instructions at: http://www.sun.com/msg/FMD-8000-0W

Sun Explorer utility

This server is supported by the Sun Explorer 5.2 data collection utility, but is not supported by earlier releases of the utility. Installing Sun Cluster or Sun Net Connect software from the pre-installed Java ES package will automatically install an earlier version of the utility on your system. After installing any of the Java ES software, determine whether an earlier version of the Sun Explorer product has been installed on your system by typing the following:

# pkginfo -l SUNWexplo

If an earlier version exists, uninstall it and install version 5.2, or later. To download Sun Explorer 5.2, go to:

http://www.sun.com/sunsolve

SunSM Net Connect

The version of Sun Net Connect software included with the Java ES 2005Q1 release does not fully support Sun Fire T2000 servers. Do not install this version of the Sun Net Connect software on your Sun Fire T2000 server. If this version is inadvertently installed on this system, uninstall it. The Sun Fire T2000 server requires Sun Net Connect version 3.2.2 or later. You can download this version from the following web site:

http://www.sun.com/service/netconnect/

See CR 6338365 for an identified known issue for Sun Net Connect 3.2.2 software.
