Updates for Man Pages


Note - Online man pages generally are updated more frequently than the SPARC Enterprise M3000/M4000/M5000/ M8000/M9000 Servers XSCF Reference Manual. In case of a conflict, check the Last Modified date at the bottom of the man page.


Table 3-10 Changes to Man Pages

Man Page
Change
addcodactivation(8), setcod(8), showcod(8), showcodusage(8)
These man pages still describe the COD headroom feature, which is no longer supported. See Capacity on Demand (COD).
setupfru(8)
The following description in the man page also applies to M4000/M5000 servers: Although a CMU with two CPUs can be configured into Quad-XSB mode on an M8000/M9000 server, the server generates a “configuration error" message for those XSBs that do not have a CPU and memory.
