The physical view is not seen on the web console. This situation occurs for both the Domain Config reader and Platform Admin Module on all SPARC Enterprise M3000/M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 systems.

Use the Java Sun Management Center console to see the physical view for this add-on software.

On SPARC Enterprise M8000/M9000 servers, the System table for the Platform Admin Module displays values for “System permitted power consumption” and for “System Actual Power Consumption Polling Interval.”

However, these features are not supported on SPARC Enterprise M8000/M9000 servers.

These features are not supported for SPARC Enterprise M8000/M9000 servers. No workaround is required.

Add the following information:

All monitoring and active management available to domain operators (domNadm groups) in the domain views tables are available to the platform administrator (platadmn group) in the Domain, XSB, and LSB tables of the platform view.

Therefore, the platform administrator (platadmn group) does not need to be present in all the domNadm groups used by the domain views.

However, you can add a platform operator user name to all domNadm groups by increasing the maximum number of groups allowed.

To Increase the Maximum Number of Allowed Groups

1. Add the following string to the system specification file (/etc/system) for the Sun Management Center server host:

set ngroups_max=32

1. Reboot the OS on the Sun Management Center server host.

Caution: Setting ngroups_max=32 in /etc/system might give rise to NFS interoperability problems, as typical NFS servers only support 16 groups when using AUTH_SYS/AUTH_UNIX. The other NFS authentication mechanisms map "netids" to user names on the servers and can support more than 16 groups.

Page 19, “To Set Up Platform and Domain Views Administrative Groups”

Step 1 includes a list of possible values for groupname.

The last item in the list should be platoper (not platop).

In Step 2, add the following Note:

Note - If ngroups_max has been changed in /etc/system, ensure that the user names are not added to more than the ngroups_max value.

A platform operator does not need to be in all domNadm groups. But if this situation is desired, you can get around the 16-group limit by setting the ngroups_max variable in /etc/system to a maximum of 32.

Add the following Note:

Note - Full active platform management is possible only when using the Java Console. The Web Console enables you to monitor all elements, and to set actions and thresholds.
