Locating Faulty DIMMs Differs in Oracle ILOM Mapping Versus BIOS Mapping
Issue:
Oracle ILOM and BIOS use different formats to identify the location of a faulty DIMM.
  • For Oracle ILOM, the format is Px/Dx, where x is 0 or 1 for CPUs, and 0 to 8 for DIMMs.

  • For BIOS, the format is CPUx/CHANNELx/DIMMx, where x is 0 or 1 for CPUs, and 0 to 2 for channels and DIMMs.

Affected firmware:
  • Oracle ILOM SP firmware version 3.0.9.19.a

  • BIOS firmware version 07.06.02.23

Workaround:
The different formats will be documented in the next version of the Sun Fire X4170, X4270, and X4275 Servers Service Manual (820-5830).

Missing Content for Platform-Specific Oracle ILOM Sideband Management Feature
Issue:
The Oracle ILOM Sideband Management topic in the Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 2.0 Supplement for Sun Fire X4170, X4270, and X4275 Servers (820-7629) is missing some special considerations.
Corrected Information:
Special Considerations for Sideband Management:
When Sideband Management is enabled in Oracle ILOM, the following conditions might occur:
  • In-chip connectivity between the SP and the host operating system might not be supported by the on-board host Gigabit Ethernet controller. If this condition occurs, use a different port or route to transmit traffic between the source and destination targets instead of using L2 bridging/switching.

  • Server host power cycles might cause a brief interruption of network connectivity for server Gigabit Ethernet ports (NET 0, 1, 2, 3) that are configured for sideband management. If this condition occurs, configure the adjacent switch/bridge ports as host ports.

Note -  If the ports are configured as switch ports and participate in the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), you might experience longer outages due to spanning tree recalculation.

SAS Expander Card Sensor Is Not Documented
Issue:
The /SYS/SAS_EXP/PRSNT sensor is not documented for Oracle ILOM 2.0. This sensor detects whether the SAS Expander Card is installed. This card connects to the disk drive backplane.
Corrected Information:
The following information will be added to the Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 2.0 Supplement for Sun Fire X4170, X4270, and X4275 Servers (820-7629):
  • Sensor Name: /SYS/SAS_EXP/PRSNT

  • Sensor Type: Entity Presence

  • Description: SAS Expander Card present monitor

Note -  This card connects to the disk backplane and the SAS cable connects to it.

Note -  This sensor is only supported on the Sun Fire X4275 Server.

Missing Content for Server Ambient Temperature Sensors
Issue:
The sensor descriptions in the Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 2.0 Supplement for Sun Fire X4170, X4270, and X4275 Servers (820-7629) do not indicate where the /SYS/MB/T_AMB and /SYS/T_AMB sensors are located.
Corrected Information:
The following information will be added to the Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 2.0 Supplement for Sun Fire X4170, X4270, and X4275 Servers (820-7629):
  • /SYS/MB/T_AMB: The motherboard ambient temperature sensor is located on the front end of the motherboard directly behind the storage drives.

  • /SYS/T_AMB: The system ambient temperature sensor is located on the underside of the fan board.
