Table 3  Oracle ILOM Known Issues
Bug ID
Description
6913602
Oracle ILOM Fails to Read DIMM FRU Information When Host Is On
Issue:
When configured for sideband (SB) network port sharing, in-chip connectivity between the service processor (SP) and the host OS is not supported by the on-board host Gigabit Ethernet controller.
Affected software:
  • Supplemental Releases 1.0 through 2.8.1

Workaround:
Power off the host before setting reset_to_defaults=factory, then reboot the SP.
6779289
In-Chip Connectivity Between the SP and the Host OS Is Not Supported When Using Sideband Network Port Sharing
Issue:
When configured for sideband (SB) network port sharing, in-chip connectivity between the service processor (SP) and the host OS is not supported by the on-board host Gigabit Ethernet controller.
Affected software:
  • Supplemental Releases 1.0 through 2.8.1

Workaround:
Use a different port or route to transmit traffic between the source and destination targets instead of using L2 bridging/switching.
6795975
When Multiple Oracle ILOM Remote Console Sessions Are Open on the Same SP, the KVMS Interface Might Not Work
Issue:
When multiple Oracle ILOM Remote Console sessions are opened to the same service processor (SP), the additional session's keyboard interface might not work. The first session's keyboard interface is not affected.
Affected software:
  • Supplemental Releases 1.0 through 2.8.1

Workaround:
  • Double-click in the Oracle ILOM Remote Console dialog to activate the mouse, then move the mouse.

    OR

  • In the Oracle ILOM Remote Console menu bar, select Devices → Mouse, then move the mouse.

64-bit JRE Fails to Launch the Oracle ILOM Remote Console
Issue:
An attempt to start Storage Redirection in Oracle ILOM might fail when using a 64-bit Java runtime environment (JRE). Since the 64-bit JRE is the default on a 64-bit system, you might need to download a 32-bit JRE. When using a 64-bit JRE to start storage redirection, an "Unsupported platform" error will appear.
Affected software:
  • Supplemental Releases 1.0 through 2.8.1

Workaround:
Install a 32-bit JRE on the 64-bit system. The JRE can be downloaded at: http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp
6873660
Property write_cache Is Not Available on Oracle ILOM SP
Issue:
Certain controllers (for example, Adaptec) enable the user to configure a RAID with the Write_Cache parameter set to predefined values. Irrespective of what this parameter is set to, this property is not available to the user from the Oracle ILOM SP command-line interface (CLI). Ideally this property would reside under /STORAGE/raid/controller#/raid_id#/. Currently the Adaptec SDK does not provide this data.
Affected operating systems and software:
  • Solaris 10 05/09, RHEL 4.8 and 5.3, SLES 10 SP2, SLES 11, and VMware ESX 3.5 U4

  • Supplemental Release 2.1 through 2.8.1

Workaround:
There is no workaround. Check for the availability of an update.
6875715
Property max-disks Is Always Incorrectly Set to 0 on Oracle ILOM SP
Issue:
The maximum number of disks that a controller supports is a property of that controller and should be available as part of the Storage Viewer functionality under /STORAGE/raid/controller# on the Oracle ILOM command-line interface (CLI). Currently this property value is always set to 0.
Affected operating systems and software:
  • Solaris 10 05/09, RHEL 4.8 and 5.3, SLES 10 SP2, SLES 11, and VMware ESX 3.5 Update 4

  • Supplemental Releases 1.0 through 2.8.1

Workaround:
There is no workaround. Check for the availability of an update.
6877654
Property raid_global_hotspare Does Not Display the Correct Information for Certain Controllers and Operating Systems on the Oracle ILOM SP
Issue:
When a RAID is configured to have a global hotspare using the Adaptec Configuration, the corresponding raid_global_hotspare parameter in Oracle ILOM SP command-line interface (CLI) does not indicate that information. Instead the raid_dedicated_hotspare parameter is displayed as true.
Affected operating systems and software:
  • Solaris 10 05/09, RHEL 4.8 and 5.3, SLES 10 SP2, SLES 11, and VMware ESX 3.5 U4

  • Supplemental Releases 1.0 through 2.8.1

Workaround:
There is no workaround. Check for the availability of an update.
6882835 6884652
Power Management Budget Is Not Supported on RHEL 4.7, 5.3, or 5.4
Issue:
Multiple issues occur if you try to use the Power Budget feature of Power Management on servers running Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 4.7, 5.3, or 5.4. These issues can lead to configured power budgets being exceeded or lower than expected CPU performance.
Affected operating systems and software:
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 4.7, 5.3, 5.4

  • Supplemental Releases 2.1 through 2.8.1

Workaround:
Do not use the Power Budget feature when running Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 4.7, 5.3, or 5.4.
