This section contains descriptions of errors in the publications that were found after the release of the IDN feature.
The domain_link(1M) and domain_unlink(1M) man pages should have included a note that instructs users to use the proper domain name for the SUNW_HOSTNAME variable when they are linking or unlinking domains. The domain must support the IDN feature. The IDN user guide includes this information.
Some of the parameter values given in "Configuring InterDomain Networks" in the Sun Enterprise 10000 InterDomain Networks User Guide are incorrect. The following table contains the proper values.

Some of the parameter descriptions in "Configuring InterDomain Networks" in the Sun Enterprise 10000 InterDomain Networks User Guide state that the parameter can be changed at any time or that the domain must be unlinked from the IDN before the parameter can be changed. This information is incorrect. All idn.conf(4) file parameters can be changed while the domain is linked to the IDN; however, the domain must be rebooted before the values take affect.
The value of the idn_smr_bufsize parameter must be a power of two.
The idn.conf(4) file parameter table includes the idn_modunloadable parameter. This parameter is an ndd(1M) parameter. It is not an idn.conf(4) parameter.
The description of the idn.conf(4) parameter idn_smr_size is incorrect. The description should state that the size of the shared memory region (SMR) is limited by the value of the OBP variable idn-smr-size. The size of the SMR is determined by the minimum value of the idn-smr-size variable and by the minimum value of the idn_smr_size parameter. If idn-smr-size is set to zero, the OBP variable overrides the value of the idn.conf(4) parameter.
