Sun N1 System Manager 1.3 Release Notes

Monitoring Issues

Clock Icon Representing Running Jobs Remains After Jobs Finish (6258571)

Even after all jobs are finished running, the clock icon next to the servers in the View Selector section may still display, which is a problem with the refresh feature.

Workaround: Click the Refresh button or press F5 to refresh the browser interface.

Jobs That Are Queued But Not Running Are Shown in the Job Detail as “Not Started” (6318398)

When the total job load is high enough to prevent the next job in the queue from running, the Job Details screen shows the running jobs' status as “running”, and the status for other jobs is shown as “Not Started”. The queued jobs will run after one or more of the running jobs have completed and the total job load is low enough to allow the next job in the queue to run.

See Job Queueing in Sun N1 System Manager 1.3 Discovery and Administration Guide for further information.

Overall Hardware Status for Sun Fire X4100 and X4200 Servers May Be Incorrect (6401238)

There may be situations when the Hardware Health status is Good, but the server actually has a hardware sensor that is in a failed state.

Workaround: View the server details page to get the correct hardware sensor status.

Modifying OS Threshold Values Fails After Changing agentsnmp Value (6402945)

After you modify a managed server's agentsnmp value by using the set server command, you cannot modify the OS threshold values on the server. The threshold modification fails with an “Server IP unreachable” error.

Workaround: Remove the OS monitoring feature from the managed server and add it again (remove server and add server commands, respectively).

N1 System Manager Notification Failures are Not Reported in Event Log (6353269)

The Event log does not report N1 System Manager notification failures, which may occur due to an unreachable SMTP server or an invalid email address.

Workaround: Check the SMTP server or the configured notification email address if you are not receiving notifications.

Adding Base Management Feature on a Sun Fire x4100 Server Fails Due to Non-Default Service Processor (SP) MAC Address (6407947)

Adding the base management feature on a Sun Fire x4100 server fails if the server's SP MAC address is not in the default format, which can occur if you have manually programmed the FRU. The SP MAC address must have upper-case characters and a leading 0. The following list provides details:

Workaround: Update the SP firmware to the latest version or manually reprogram the SP MAC address to follow the default format guidelines described above.
