CompactFlash Card Might Not Be Detected by Windows
Setup Utility
|
|
Issue:
The Windows Server 2003, 2008, and 2008 R2 Setup Utility copies the system
boot files to the first disk found in the boot order. Windows detects the
CompactFlash (CF) device as an ATA class device but, it is attached via the USB
bus. The drives attached via USB are not supported by Microsoft for Windows Server
as system boot devices.
|
|
Affected operating systems and
software:
|
|
Workaround:
The CF card must be lower in the Boot Device Priority List than the target
disk. For more information, see the BIOS section in the Sun Fire X4170,
X4270, and X4275 Servers Service Manual (820-5830).

Issue:
After installation of Windows Server 2003 on the Sun Fire X4275 Server,
Windows might have a device that is marked with a yellow exclamation point (Yellow
Bang) in the device tree found in Windows Device Manager. This device will be
found under Other Devices in the device tree, and the name of the device is
"LSILOGIC SASX28 A.1 SCSI Enclosure Device." Note that there is no functional
impact to the system should this occur. The only indication is the Yellow Bang
seen in Device Manager. This problem is not encountered in Windows Server 2008.

Affected hardware, operating systems, and
software:

the "Completing installation..." Phase.
|
|
Issue:
There is a potential issue with Sun Fire X4170, X4270, and X4275 Servers when
installing Windows Server 2008 R2. During the installation the system stalls at
the "Completing installation..." phase of Windows setup. The mouse will still
respond, but no progress is made and the installation will not complete. If the
system is restarted, setup will be incomplete and must be restarted.
|
|
Affected operating systems and
software:

Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2. The required updated driver is
included on the Tools and Drivers (T&D) DVD for server Software 2.1. Also
included on the Tools and Drivers DVD is an AutoUnattend.xml file and the
following instructions:
-
How to copy the AutoUnattend.xml and driver files to a USB thumb drive (or
similar removable-media drive)
-
How to use the USB thumb drive to replace the in-box Ethernet Controller
driver during the installation of Windows Server 2008 R2
The instructions are in the following directory on the Tools and Drivers DVD:
<DVD>\windows\w2k8r2\drivers\readme.html
The Tools and Drivers DVD image for Software 2.1 is available for download
from the My Oracle Support web site at: https://support.oracle.com. Note -
Your server shipment might not include the Tools & Drivers DVD. You can
