If setpasswordpolicy -r is set to 0, existing XCSF users are unable to change their password and get the error message, password: Operation failed.
Do not execute the command, setpasswordpolicy -r 0.

Faults marked as REPAIRED/RESOLVED on a domain are resent to the XSCF each time the domain is rebooted or the XSCF is rebooted. If the XSCF is not replaced, this is not a problem and no new fault is generated. However, if the XSCF on M4000/M5000 servers or the MBU on M3000 servers is replaced, a new fault for the resolved problem might be generated.
When a new fault is generated after the XSCF or MBU is replaced, check the solaris -u uid() in fmdump -V output to determine if the fault is genuine.

If one or more domains experience a significant amount of hardware related failures and the affected domains reboot often, the fault data can accumulate, using up system memory resources and causing a service processor failover.
There is no workaround. Reboot the service processor to recover.

Executing setldap -p with a password that contains a colon (:) causes a problem with the LDAP configuration.
There is no workaround. To recover, execute restoreconfig(8) to restore the last working LDAP configuration.
