Solaris 7 11/99 Release Notes Supplement for Sun Hardware

OpenBootTM PROM

Be aware of the following issues with the idn-smr-size variable and with breaking to the OpenBoot PROM (OBP) prompt on the Sun Enterprise 10000 server.

idn-smr-size Variable

The OBP variable for the IDN feature, idn-smr-size, is present in Solaris 2.6. If Solaris 2.6 is installed on a domain, do not set the value to any other value other than zero (the default value). The IDN feature is not supported in the Solaris 2.6 operating environment.

OBP Environment

Before you break to the OBP prompt, unlink the domain from its IDN by using the domain_unlink(1M) command. Do not break to OBP while the domain is linked to an IDN.
