This issue occurs on a SPARC T7-4 server when you attempt to reboot into an existing LDOMs configuration that uses named resource bindings after you have upgraded the server with an additional processor module. Factory default mode is incorrectly selected during reboot. The server boots into recovery mode, and named resource bindings specified in the previous LDOMs configuration are ignored.
Recovery
If you made a record of your LDOMs configuration before adding the processor module, regenerate the LDOMs configuration as described in the Workaround.
If you need immediate access to the old configuration, follow these steps:
Remove the processor module from PM1 and boot the server.
Refer to the SPARC T7-4 Server Service Manual for removal instructions.
The server reverts to its previous configuration, including the named resource bindings.
Make a record specific CPU and memory bindings of the LDOMs configuration.
Install the processor module into PM1 and boot the server.
Refer to the SPARC T7-4 Server Service Manual for installation instructions.
Regenerate the LDOMs configuration.
Save the LDOMs configuration and make it the default boot configuration.
Subsequent reboots will use the saved LDOMs configuration.
Workaround
Regenerate the LDOMs configuration:
In ILOM, set the server boot configuration to factory-default.
Install the processor module into PM1.
Refer to the SPARC T7-4 Server Service Manual for installation instructions.
Reboot the server into the factory default configuration.
Create your desired LDOMs configuration.
Save the LDOMs configuration and make it the default boot configuration.
Subsequent reboots will use the saved LDOMs configuration.
