Setting Baud Rate for the BIOS Console Makes OS Deployment Fail on Sun Fire V20z and V40z Servers (6322295)

The baud rate for the BIOS console must be set to 9600 (default) or OS deployment to a Sun Fire V20z or V40z server will fail. Therefore, you should not change the consolebaudrate value in the load server command or the Load OS wizard in the browser interface.

Note –

If the SP console baud rate is set to something other than 9600, the OS deployment will succeed but the console through the connect server command will display garbage characters.

Workaround: You must change the baud rate for the BIOS console manually after an OS deployment. Reboot the target server and enter the BIOS setup screen during the boot sequence. Consult the server's user manual to see how to change its BIOS settings.
