Verified Boot Policy and Non-Volatile RAM Configuration Might Cause Boot to Fail on SPARC Servers

Server Platforms: SPARC T and M Series Servers

Server Software: SPARC software release 9.1.0 or later.

Issue: The boot operation on SPARC T and M series servers might fail when the following configuration parameters are set:

  • Boot Policy for Verified Boot in Oracle ILOM is set to Enforce.

  • Non-volatile RAM configuration variable for use-nvramrc? is set to True.

Note -  If a Device Alias is created using the nvalias command, the use-nvramrc? variable is automatically set to True. The use-nvramrc? variable can be manually set to False by using the setenv OpenBoot command. For further details about using OpenBoot commands, see the OpenBoot Command Reference Manual in the Oracle Solaris documentation collection.

Workaround: When the Oracle ILOM Boot Policy for Verified Boot is set to Enforce, set the Non-Volatile configuration for use-nvramrc? to False; or, set the Oracle ILOM Boot Policy for Verified Boot to None or Warning.
