Sun Fire 15K |
Running POST on one domain may Dstop all other running
domains on Sun Fire 15K systems with SMS 1.1. |
| I0785-1 |
R
|
System Control Board (501-5121-10) |
All Sun Fire 15K systems running SMS 1.1 or SMS 1.2 do not
have the osdTimeDeltas file in the file propagation list. If a failover
occurs, this could result in a rollback of a domain's Time Of Day. Such
a shift in time has unforseen effects on applications. |
| I0784-1 |

|
Sun Fire 15K |
Without the appropriate SMS 1.1 patch for the SC OBP, both
external network interfaces on the Sun Fire 15K System Controller will have
the same MAC address. This poses a problem if both interfaces, hme0 and
eri1, are configured into the same Internet Protocol Multipathing (IPMP)
group. This can lead to network connectivity problems. Ultimately, IPMP
could mark all paths as FAILED, which would induce an SC failover. |

System Control Board (501-5121-10) |
Sun Fire 15K systems shipped between August 13, 2001 and January
3, 2002 (inclusive) may not have the appropriate Solaris FRU ID packages
installed on the System Controllers. Affected system controllers are missing
the following packages:
- SUNWfruid
- SUNWfruip.u
- SUNWfruix
- SUNWpiclh
- SUNWpiclr
- SUNWpiclu
- SUNWpiclx
The end result is that attempts to run the 'prtfru' utility fail. |

Sun Fire 15K |
Upgrades to the factory installed SMS software on Sun Fire
15K systems might overwrite the Capacity On Demand blacklist file. |

0MB 440MHz CP1500 CPU (501-5473-XX)
System Controller (501-5994-xx) |
If you insert a common off-the-shelf CP1500 board (commonly
called the Nordica) into a Sun Fire 15K System Controller (SC), it will
have two new and different MAC-addresses compared with the defective one.
As a result of this new MAC-address, the hostid of the System Controller
will change. The above will result in failure when trying to boot or install
the SC over the network, since no hosts will respond to its new MAC-adress.
Also, software licensed against the old hostid will stop working. |

Sun Fire 15K |
The Sun Fire 15K may get false warning messages about overtemp
conditions when the processors are actually within an acceptable temperature
range. The Sun Fire 15K platform with SMS 1.1 has a software packaging issue
in that the tuning file cannot be patched, and must therefore be adjusted
manually and periodically to update environmental thresholds. If this manual
tuning is not done, customers experience these false overtemp warning messages.
All Sun Fire 15K installations running SMS 1.1 are affected. This packaging
issue has been corrected in SMS 1.2. |

UltraSPARC III family processors (see FIN for list of part
numbers affected) |
Issues with the diagnosing of "send mondo" panics in systems
based on the UltraSPARC III family of processors have been noticed. The
UltraSPARC III family of processors includes both the UltraSPARC III and
UltraSPARC III Cu processors. The frequency and misdiagnosis of the issue
seems to be increasing and in many cases has caused customer dissatisfaction
due to parts being replaced unnecessarily and the occurrence of additional
outages. |
| I0763-1 |
C
|
System Expander Board (501-5179-18 or lower) |
Due to a bug in the AXQ ASIC which resides on the System Expander Board
of the F15K, a Solaris panic can occur if too many outstanding noncacheable
Programmed I/O transactions are awaiting service. A transaction may then
timeout in the Schizo ASIC causing the Solaris device driver(s) to panic. |

440MHZ 2MBE$ (501-5473-12 or below) |
When inserting a common off-the-shelf CP1500 CPU board (501-5473-12 or
below) into a Sun Fire 15000 System Controller (SC) without updating the
firmware on the FPROMS, the System Management Software (SMS) will not be
able to start correctly (if at all), leaving the entire SC in an unusable
state. This condition will prevent the use of any SMS commands and make
it impossible to power-up system boards or boot domains on the Sun Fire
15000. |

Sun Fire CPU/MEM W/2 U3PL-900 0MB (540-5051-02)
Sun Fire CPU/MEM W/4 U3PL-900 0MB (540-5052-02) |
A number of incorrectly programmed 900 MHz CPU/Memory boards have been
shipped to Sun customers. The CPU/Memory boards will operate at 750 MHz
instead of 900 MHz. When these incorrectly programmed boards are introduced
into Sun Fire 15000/6800/4810/4800/3800 systems, the performance of the
system will be degraded. The affected systems / domains will run at lower
or mixed speed without any panics or disruption to customer operations. |

|
Ethernet RIO Interface (eri) driver |
Sun Servers which utilize the "eri" driver could be susceptible to Ethernet
link errors or hangs. |
| I0754-1 |
R
|
Sun Fire 15K server |
The System Management Software
(SMS) on the System Controller (SC) monitors and controls the operation
of a Sun Fire 15K system. Installing additional software on the SC may adversely
impact SMS's critical mission of monitoring and controlling the Sun Fire
15K system. |
| I0753-1 |
R
|
System Control Board (501-5121-10) |
Sun Fire 15K installations
running System Management Software 1.1 (SMS) might not complete HPOST and
will not boot Solaris if the 'setkeyswitch' command is run at the same time
on multiple domains. This may lead to a power recovery or a global DStop
where recovery of all domains is attempted. |
| I0748-1 |
R
|
System Controller |
Sun Fire 15K System Controller should be configured with at least 2 Gbytes
swap space.
