Sun N1 System Manager 1.1 Release Notes

Localization Issues

Non-ASCII Objects Display Random Characters if the N1 System Manager Is Running in a Non-UTF8 Locale (6231209)

Non-ASCII objects created using the N1 System Manager display random characters if you start N1 System Manager in following ways:

Workaround: Use either of the two following methods.

  1. Temporary solution: set the LANG environment variable to the UTF8 locale and restart the N1 System Manager. For example:


    # export LANG en_US.UTF-8
    # /etc/init.d/n1sminit stop
    # /etc/init.d/n1sminit start
    
  2. Permanent solution:

    • On a Solaris based management server:

      Edit the file /etc/default/init and change the LANG value to en_US.UTF-8.

    • On a Linux based management server:

      Edit the file /etc/sysconfig/i18n and change the LANG value to en_US.UTF-8.

Do Not Select ja_JP.EUC_JP Language on Wizard When Creating Solaris OS Profile (6242643)

The Create OS Profile wizard incorrectly shows ja_JP.EUC_JP as a selection. If ja_JP.EUC_JP is selected, then the load OS process will fail.

Workaround:

  1. Specify ja_JP.UTF-8 when creating the OS profile: and deploy it to the provisionable server, for example:

    N1-ok> set osprofile osprofile_name language=ja_JP.UTF-8

  2. Deploy the profile using the load server command or the Load OS wizard in the browser interface.

  3. Log in to the provisionable server as root, and open the /etc/default/init file for edit.

  4. Replace the text ja_JP.UTF-8 with ja_JP.eucJP, then save and close the /etc/default/init file.

Browser Interface Command Line Pane Displays English Text in Non-English Locales When the Help Button Is Clicked (6258283)

Clicking the Help button in a localized environment causes all text in the browser interface Command Line pane to display in English, except for tab completion text.

Workaround: Refresh the browser interface by clicking the browser Reload button.

OS Distribution Names With Non-ASCII Characters Do Not Display Properly (6292702)

If you specify a OS Distribution name with non-ASCII characters during the create os command, the OS distribution name will not display properly with the show os command.

Cannot Install ALOM Firmware With Non-ASCII Firmware Name (6297238)

The load server command fails to install ALOM firmware if the firmware name is non-ASCII.

Workaround: Change the firmware name to ASCII using the set firmware command.

Internationalization Features Not Supported for n1sh Command on Solaris Management Servers (6297808)

The Python version (2.3) on a default Solaris management server does not provide adequate internationalization support for the n1sh command.

Workaround: Install Python 2.4 or later on the Solaris management server. The Python executable must be /usr/bin/python2.4.
