Sun Open Telecommunications Platform 1.1 Release Notes

Integration Issues

This section describes known Open Telecommunications Platform integration issues.

OSP Deployment Plan Completes Before OS Is Installed (6530773)

When the OSP plan is run to install the OS, the plan completes before the OS is installed. Hence, the OS installation will still be in progress after the OSP plan completes.

Workaround: Monitor the progress of OS installation using the following steps.

  1. In the Common Tasks section of the GUI, select OS Provisioning.

  2. On the OS Provisioning Common Tasks page, click Status in the OS Provisioning Administration Tasks section.

  3. On the Plans Details page, click Run.

  4. On the Plan Details Run page, select the target host on which you provisioned the OS.

  5. Click Run Plan (includes preflight).

  6. Follow the Details links to view the status.

OSP Plug-in Cannot Import Two OS Images Simultaneously (6531142)

The OSP plug-in does not import two OS images simultaneously. If you try to import two OS images simultaneously, the following message appears:

Connect and lock hosts

Workaround: Wait for the first OS image to be imported before importing the second OS image.

OSP Plug-in Does Not Take a Shared File System as OS Image Path (6531133)

The OSP plug-in is not highly available. Hence, OSP plans fail if a shared file system is given as OS image path. Due to this issue, you cannot place OS images on the shared disks.

Error Message:

cfgadm Does Not Warn if Metaset Is Used (6536514)

The cfgadm command provides configuration administration operations on dynamically reconfigurable hardware resources. The cfgadm command on the OTP cluster node does not warn if the metaset is being used and unconfigures the controller, which results in unstable OTP Services.

Hosts Cannot Be Deleted From the Hosts List of External Server (6527578)

When you try to delete hosts from the hosts list of external server through GUI, you might get the following error message:


Unable to delete the host
At least one delete operation failed

Workaround: Restart the master server on the specific node and remove the host.

OSP ALOM Create Plan Does Not Validate the Password (6537015)

OSP ALOM create plan does not verify whether the admin password entered is correct or not. The plan succeeds with any password.

OSP Uses the IP Address of Installation Server as the Default Router (6539435)

If you do not explicitly specify the IP address of the default router in the Provision OS profile, OSP will use the IP address of installation server to create a /etc/defaultrouter file.

Workaround: Specify the IP address of the default router in the Provision OS Profile or modify the /etc/defaultrouter file to make it point to the correct router information and reboot the system.

EIS compliance requires the /etc/defaultrouter file to be present.

Messages On Console When Host Reboots (6535460)

Runtime error messages are displayed on the console when the host reboots.

Error snippet:


libpkcs11: Unable to contact kcfd: Bad file number
libpkcs11: /usr/lib/security/pkcs11_softtoken.so unexpected failure 
in ELF signature verification. System may have been tampered with. 
Cannot continue parsing /etc/crypto/pkcs11.conf
com.sun.hss.domain.PersistentMBeanServer.loadMBeans : 
Error loading MBeans from persistent store
com.sun.cacao.element.ElementSupport.setAdministrativeState : 
caught throwable when starting : RuntimeException thrown in postRegister method

These messages are completely harmless and can be safely ignored.
