Interface Issues

This section describes the known browser interface and command line interface issues.

Incorrect Server Details Are Displayed When Servers Swap Management IP Addresses (6196399)

If the management IP addresses of two discovered servers are swapped, the detailed server information displayed for each of the servers with the swapped addresses will be the information for the other swapped server. For example, if server A and server B have their management IP addresses swapped, “show server A” will show server B's information and “show server B” will show server A's information.

Workaround: Delete both of the servers with swapped IP addresses and then rediscover them. This will result in any user supplied information about the server being lost.

Browser Interface Becomes Out of Sync if Back Button Is Used (6215298)

The browser interface uses frames that are synchronized. If you click the browser's Back button in one of the frames, the frames can get out of sync.

Workaround: Press F5 or refresh the page to synchronize the frames.

Stopping a Job Using Browser Interface Does Not Display Stop Message in Command Line Pane (6344094)

Stopping a job in the browser interface's Job tab page does not display the associated stop message in the command line pane.

Workaround: Confirm that the job stopped by viewing the job's detail page in the browser interface or by using the show job job-id command.

Incorrect Swap Information Is Reported for Sun Fire X4100 and Sun Fire X4200 Servers with Firmware Level 6464 (6344709)

The browser interface server details and the show server command displays the wrong swap information for Sun Fire X4100 and Sun Fire X4200 Servers with Firmware Level 6464 and the Red Hat Operating System.

Workaround: Use the serial console to access the server and find out the correct swap information by using the top command.

Browser Interface Displays Script Problems When Displaying Over 500 Servers (6365731)

If you try to display over 500 servers in the System Dashboard page, the following popup message is displayed:

Warning: Unresponsive script

A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, 
     or you can continue to see if the script will complete.

<Stop script>  <Continue>

Workaround: Choose Stop script and wait a few minutes for all the servers to display. This workaround will not work with the Internet Explorer browser.

Wrong Server Details Page Displayed (6389126)

When you click on a server name in the browser interface to view the server's details page, sometimes the wrong page is displayed as it loads.

Workaround: Wait until the page finishes loading or use the show server server-name command.

The show privilege privilege-name Command Does Not Display Information (6401440)

In default text mode, the show privilege privilege-name command either displays nothing or a null string. So, you cannot display detailed information about a privilege.

Workaround: Set the n1sh output mode to XML and display the show privilege output in XML. For example:

N1-ok> show privilege ServerBoot
N1-ok> set session output xml

<result status="0"/>

N1-ok> show privilege ServerBoot

<result status="0">
  <activity>
    <name>ServerBoot</name>
    <task>Reboot servers</task>
    <desc>Reboot servers</desc>
    <long-desc>reset group, reset server</long-desc>
    <resources>
      <resource>HDManagementSystem</resource>
      <resource>server</resource>
    </resources>
    <actions>
      <resource>HDRead</resource>
      <resource>boot</resource>
    </actions>
  </activity>
</result>

N1-ok> set session output text  Set n1sh shell back to default output.

The remove group Command Returns Error Message After Success (6404420)

The remove group command returns an error message even though the remove operation is a success. An example follows:

N1-ok> show group
Name          Servers  Hardware Faults        OS Resource Faults
new1          1        Unknown                -

N1-ok> show group new1
Name             Hardware    Hardware Health        Power     OS Usage              OS Resource Health
10.0.106.6       V20z        Unknown                On                              Uninitialized

N1-ok> remove group new1 server all
"10.16.0.5,10.16.0.6" is not in "new1"     False error stating remove failed.
 
N1-ok> show group new1    Verification that remove succeeded.
No items found.

Workaround: Use the show group command as shown in the previous example to verify that the remove group command succeeded.
