SPARC Enterprise T1000 Server Product Notes April 2007

Mandatory /etc/system File Entry

This section describes mandatory /etc/system file entries that must be listed in
this file to ensure the optimal functionality of the server.
The following entry must be in the /etc/system file:
set pcie:pcie_aer_ce_mask=0x2001

To Check and Create the Mandatory /etc/system File

Entries
Perform this procedure in the following circumstances:

Check that the entries are present before deploying the server.
Create the entries after the Solaris OS is installed or updated.

1. Log in as superuser.
2. Check the /etc/system file to see if the mandatory lines are in the file.
# more /etc/system
*ident "@(#)system
1.18 05/06/27 SMI" /* SVR4 1.5 */
*
* SYSTEM SPECIFICATION FILE
.
.
.
set pcie:pcie_aer_ce_mask=0x2001
.

3. If the entriy is not there, add it:

a. Use an editor to edit the /etc/system file and add entry.
b. Reboot the server.

Hardware Installation and Service Issues

Chassis Cover Might Be Difficult to Remove (CR 6376423)
The chassis cover might be very difficult to remove. If you press too hard on the
cover lock button, the front edge of the cover might warp and bind. Also, elastic
gasket material on the sides of the chassis might prevent the cover from sliding
freely.
Important Information About the SPARC Enterprise T1000 Server

To remove the cover, lightly hold down the cover lock button and push the cover
slightly toward the front of the chassis (this assists the unlocking action), then slide
the cover approximately one half inch (12 mm) toward the rear of the chassis. You
can now lift the cover off the chassis.

General Functionality Issues

These are the functionality issues for this release.

RAID Function
A hardware RAID function is provided as standard in SPARC Enterprise T1000
servers. However, with regard to data protection, reliability, and serviceability,
Fujitsu DOES NOT support this function.
Fujitsu recommends use of software RAID functions for internal disks as specified
below:

PRIMECLUSTER GDS
Solaris Volume Manager (included in Solaris OS)

Solaris Predictive Self-Healing (PSH) Feature

The Solaris PSH implementation is not fully implemented in this release of the
product. If a PSH message with a message ID of FMD-8000-OW occurs, refer to the
instructions at: http://www.sun.com/msg/FMD-8000-0W.

Supported Sun Explorer Utility Version

The SPARC Enterprise T1000 server is supported by the Sun Explorer 5.7 (or later)
data collection utility, but is not supported by earlier releases of the utility. Installing
Sun Cluster software from the preinstalled Java ES package could automatically
install an earlier version of the utility on your system. After installing any of the Java
ES software, determine whether an earlier version of the Sun Explorer product has
been installed on your system by typing the following:
# pkginfo -l SUNWexplo

If an earlier version exists, uninstall it and install version 5.7, or later.

SPARC Enterprise T1000 Server Product Notes April 2007

System Will Not Power On With an Invalid Memory

Configuration (CR 6300114)
The system will not power on if memory rank 0 is not populated. Rank 0 sockets
must always be filled.

Disk Drive Write Cache Enabled By Default

Read caching and write caching are both enabled by default for the SPARC
Enterprise T1000 server disk drive (this issue applies to SATA drives only). The use
of the caches increases the read and write performance of the disk drive. However,
data in the write cache might be lost if system AC power is interrupted. (A loss of
AC power does not present a problem for the read cache.)
If you prefer to disable write caching, use the Solaris format -e command:

Caution These settings are not saved permanently. You must reset the write cache
setting every time the system boots.

To Disable the Write Cache

1. In the Solaris environment, enter the format expert mode by typing:
# format -e
Searching for disks...done
AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
0. c0t0d0 <ATA-HDS ...

2. Specify disk number 0.

Specify disk (enter its number): 0
selecting c0t0d0

Specific Issues and Workarounds

TABLE 1 lists known issues. The table also lists possible workarounds for these issues.
TABLE 1

Specific Issues and Workarounds (1 of 3)

CR ID

Description

Workaround

6297813

Upon boot up, the following messages might be

displayed:
svc.startd[7]: [ID 122153
daemon.warning]
svc:/system/power:default: Method or
service exit timed out. Killing
contract 51.
svc.startd[7]: [ID 636263
daemon.warning]
svc:/system/power:default: Method
"/lib/svc/method/svc-power start"
failed due to signal KILL.

If Solaris power management is required,

restart power management manually or
reboot the server. If Solaris power
management is not required, no action is
needed.

6310384

The SunVTS USB keyboard test (usbtest) might

report that a keyboard is present when there is no
keyboard attached to the server.

Do not run usbtest.

6314590

Executing the ALOM CMT break command and the

OpenBoot PROM go command might cause the
system to hang or panic.

If the console hangs or panics, use the

ALOM CMT reset command to reset the
system.

6317382

Typing unrecognized commands or words at the OBP

prompt causes the system to return an erroneous
error and might hang the server. This behavior only
occurs when you drop into the OBP prompt from
Solaris. The erroneous error message is:
ERROR: Last Trap

Disregard this message. If the console hangs

or panics, use the ALOM CMT reset
command to reset the system.

6318208

POST or OBP reset-all generates the alert, Host

system has shut down.

This is normal behavior following a resetall command. The message does not
indicate a problem in this situation.

6331819

SunVTS memory or CPU tests could fail due to lack

of system resources. When too many instances of
SunVTS functional tests are run in parallel on
UltraSPARC T1 CMT CPU-based (sun4v) entrylevel servers with low memory configurations,
SunVTS tests might fail due to lack of system
resources. For example, you could see an error
message similar to the following:
System call fork failed; Resource
temporarily unavailable

Workaround: Decrease the number of

SunVTS test instances or perform SunVTS
functional tests separately. In addition, you
can increase the delay value for CPU tests or
increase the test memory reserve space.

TABLE 1

Specific Issues and Workarounds (2 of 3)

CR ID

Description

Workaround

6346149

The maximum throughput of the system network

ports decreases unexpectedly as the network load
increases.

There is no workaround at this time.

6346170

The ALOM CMT showfru command displays epoch

timestamps of THU JAN 01 00:00:00 1970.

Ignore timestamps with this date. There is no

workaround at this time.

6348070

False Ereport error messages might be generated for

PCI devices.

There is no workaround at this time.

6356449

The poweron command does not power on the

system when issued immediately after the ALOM
CMT resets.

If you use a script to reset the ALOM-CMT

and power on the system, insert a 1-second
delay before the poweron command.

6363820

The showcomponent command hangs if you

repeatedly loop on the disablecomponent and
enablecomponent commands.

Reset ALOM-CMT with the resetsc

command.

6368944

The virtual-console does not accept paste buffers that

are greater than 114 characters. This causes the
wanboot NVRAM parameter, network-bootarguments to not be set.

Cut and paste in chunks smaller than 114

characters, or dont use cut and paste.

6370233

The Dtrace function might return inaccurate CPU

xcalls.

Although they are not stable interfaces,

putting Dtrace fbt probes on
send_one_mondo and send_mondo_set
could be used as a workaround. For
send_mondo_set, extract the number of
CPUs being sent cross calls from the
cpuset_t argument.

6372709

The maximum size of the FMA fltlog file might be

restricted.

Remove the restrictions by changing the

default log rotation options for the Solaris
logadm(1M) command.

6376423

The chassis cover might be extremely difficult to

remove.

See Chassis Cover Might Be Difficult to

Remove (CR 6376423) on page 3.

6389912

False error messages are logged during poweron or

system reset.
The error messages include this segment:
ereport.io.fire.pec.lup

Ignore the messages.

6405226

When accessing the host through the ALOM-CMT

console command, you might experience slow
console response.

For optimum responsiveness, access the host

through the host network interfaces as soon
as the host has completed booting the OS.

6508432

Many correctable errors (CE) could occur, and

although these errors are correctable, the system
could panic.

Add the following entry to /etc/system to

avoid the problem:
set pcie:pcie_aer_ce_mask = 0x2001

Workaround

6538717

The showfru command reports Micron DIMMs as

Seagate DIMMs. For example:
[LE2]FRU_PROM at
MB/CMP0/CH0/R0/D0/SEEPROM
/SPD/Timestamp: MON APR 17 12:00:00 2006
/SPD/Description: DDR2 SDRAM, 1024 MB
/SPD/Manufacture Location:
/SPD/Vendor: Seagate <--should say Micron

Currently no workaround.

6520334

If SSH is not enabled, executing the ssh-keygen -l

command to print keys generates the following error
message:
sc> ssh-keygen -l -t rsa
Fingerprint file cant be opened error
380003
This error message should read as follows:
ssh is not enabled.

Enable SSH.

6472072

When a panic dump is taken by Break-D of ALOM,

the panic message displays as follows:
Unrecoverable hardware error.

Hardware error does not occur. This message

can be safely ignored.

6500293,
6502078

After executing boot-r, the prtdiag-v command.

might not display host bus adaptors on SPARC
Enterprise T1000 or T2000 servers.

Reboot the system without reconfiguration.

Documentation Errata
Error Regarding Date Synchronization in the ALOM CMT
Guide
There is an error in the documentation of the showdate command in published
versions of the ALOM CMT guide. The erroneous text follows:
Displays the ALOM CMT date. The Solaris OS and ALOM CMT time are
synchronized, but ALOM CMT time is expressed in Coordinated Universal Time
(UTC) rather than local time.
The correct text should be:
Displays the ALOM CMT date. ALOM CMT time is expressed in Coordinated
Universal Time (UTC) rather than local time. The Solaris OS and ALOM CMT
time are not synchronized.
