Issue
o
o
o
The Remote Cabinet Interface (RCI) function is not supported on Oracle M-series servers.
o
o
On occasion, a M4000/M5000/M8000 /M9000 server is unable to DR after an XSCF failover to or from the backup XSCF. This rare occurrence was once designated as CR 6588650. There is no workaround.
o
o
o
The setsnmp(8) and showsnmp(8) commands do not notify the user of authorization failure. Upon such failure, confirm that the SNMP trap host is working and re-execute the command using the correct user name.
o
The following functions, which display power consumption, are not supported on M4000/M5000 servers. Any values displayed are invalid:

  • The power operand of the showenvironment(8) command.

  • XSCF Web.
o
o
o
In the settimezone -c adddst command, when you set eight or more letters to the abbreviation of time zone and the name of Daylight Saving Time, execution of the showlogs command induces a segmentation fault and results in an error. [CR 6789066].

Workaround: Specify the abbreviation of time zone and the name of Daylight Saving Time in seven or fewer letters.
o
The M3000 server does not support External I/O Expansion Units.
o
o
o
Only M3000 servers with a SPARC64 VII+ (2.86 GHz) processor let you use the raidctl(1M) command to create a hardware RAID volume using the onboard SAS/LSI controller.

All M-Series servers support use of the raidctl(1M) command to view disk/controller status, and on any PCI host bus adapter (HBA) installed in the system.

The RAID-creation limitation was once designated as CR 6723202. There is no workaround.
