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:

• 00:14:4F:20:83:D3 — This is an example of a valid, default SP MAC address

• 0:14:4f:20:83:d3 — This is an example of a non-default SP MAC address

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