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:

After a failed DIMM was cleared from the asr database, ALOM CMT might not properly reboot and returns the following error message:
No valid MEMORY configuration

Wait 10 seconds after executing the clearasrdb command before executing the resetsc command. Refer to the Sun Fire T2000 Server Service Manual for information about clearing DIMM-related faults.

6338365

Sun Net Connect 3.2.2 software does not monitor environmental alarms on the Sun Fire T2000 server.

To receive notification that an environmental error has occurred, use the ALOM CMT mgt_mailalert feature to have ALOM CMT send an email when an event occurs.

To check whether or not the environmental status of the server is ok, log on to ALOM CMT and run the showfaults command.

To view a history of any events the server encountered, log on to ALOM CMT and run the showlogs command.

If a CPU or memory fault occurs while the server is running a trap handler, the system might panic with a bad trap instead of providing a CPU or memory fault message. In such cases, memory scrubbing is not performed.

Reset the server, and check the server for possible faults using the showfaults command.

6343294

Make sure that the following line is in the /etc/system file:

set pcie:pcie_aer_ce_mask=0x1

See Mandatory /etc/system File Entries.

The ALOM showlogs -p p command displays a lot of data and could slow down the ALOM CLI.

To display the persistent log, use the following command instead:

showlogs -e x

where x specifies the number of lines (most recent log entries) to be displayed.
