RTI No. RTIF2-170522-001
Model SPARC M12-1, SPARC M12-2, SPARC M12-2S
Description Booting from an external DVD drive may fail.
[Example of output message]
{0} ok boot /pci@8100/pci@4/pci@0/pci@8/usb@0/cdrom@6/disk@0
Boot device: /pci@8100/pci@4/pci@0/pci@8/usb@0/cdrom@6/disk@0 File and args:
Can't open boot device
Workaround To avoid this problem, perform the following procedure.
1. Stop OpenBoot PROM at the ok prompt.

2. Perform the following steps to change the OpenBoot PROM environment variable nvramrc.

a. Execute the nvedit command, and write nvramrc as shown below.

{0} ok nvedit
0: : patch-zero 0 to my-adr0 0 ;
1: ' patch-zero ' 0 ' new-instance d# 28 + token@ (patch
b. Press the [Ctrl] + [C] keys to exit nvedit and return to the ok prompt.

c. Execute nvstore to save the edited contents.

{0} ok nvstore
d. Check whether nvramrc was written correctly.

{0} ok printenv nvramrc
nvramrc = : patch-zero 0 to my-adr0 0 ;
' patch-zero ' 0 ' new-instance d# 28 + token@ (patch
{0} ok
3. Set the OpenBoot PROM environment variable use-nvramrc? to true.

{0} ok setenv use-nvramrc? true
use-nvramrc? = true
4. Execute the reset-all command to restart OpenBoot PROM.

{0} ok reset-all

After executing the reset-all command and the system stops at the ok prompt, boot from a DVD drive.
Example: Booting from a DVD drive connected to a front USB port
{0} ok boot /pci@8100/pci@4/pci@0/pci@8/usb@0/cdrom@6/disk@0

To return the above setting described in [Workaround] to its original state, perform the following steps.
1. Stop OpenBoot PROM at the ok prompt.

2. Delete the set contents from the OpenBoot PROM environment variable nvramrc.

a. Execute nvedit to delete ": patch-zero 0 to my-adr0 0 ;" and "' patch-zero ' 0 ' new-instance d# 28 + token@ (patch" from nvramrc. You can delete lines one by one by pressing the [Ctrl] + [K] keys twice at the beginning of a line.
{0} ok nvedit

0:
b. Press the [Ctrl] + [C] keys to exit nvedit and return to the ok prompt.

c. Execute nvstore to save the edited contents.

{0} ok nvstore

d. Check whether the nvramrc setting was deleted correctly.

{0} ok printenv nvramrc
nvramrc =
{0} ok
3. Set the OpenBoot PROM environment variable use-nvramrc? to false. If it has been set to true before the workaround was performed, this step is unnecessary.

{0} ok setenv use-nvramrc? false
use-nvramrc? = false
{0} ok
4. Execute the reset-all command to restart OpenBoot PROM.

{0} ok reset-all
RTI No. RTIF2-170511-001
Model SPARC M12-1, SPARC M12-2, SPARC M12-2S
Description If a CPU failure or memory failure occurs, the OS on a logical domain using the faulty CPU or memory may hang.
Workaround There is no effective workaround.
RTI No. RTIF2-170224-048
Model SPARC M12-2S
Description In a system with a building block configuration, the following error log may be registered when the input power is turned on (AC ON) or the rebootxscf -a command is used.
XSCF data synchronization failed
At this time, the physical partition cannot be powered on.
Workaround There is no effective workaround.
Reboot all the XSCFs by using the rebootxscf -a command.
RTI No. RTIF2-170224-035
Model SPARC M12-2, SPARC M12-2S
Description If the setsnmp command tries to set enabled immediately after disabled was set, the "Agent enable failed" message may appear, and the command may fail.
This may cause the following phenomena.
1. If it is left as it is, the error log of "SCF panic detected" is registered and the XSCF is rebooted.

2. The setting has not been reflected, so if the showsnmp command is executed, it displays "Enabled" for "Agent Status" and "None" for "Enabled MIB Modules."

3. If the showsnmp command is executed, it displays "Enabled" for "Agent Status" and "SP MIB" for "Enabled MIB Modules." However, the setting has not actually been reflected, so rebooting the XSCF causes "None" to be displayed for "Enabled MIB Modules."

4. The setting has not been reflected, so when the showsnmp command displays "None" for "Enabled MIB Modules," the system using the cluster software detects the following error: "FJSVcluster: Error: DEV: 7240: Cannot connect to the XSCF."

[Example] After the setsnmp command fails, the setting is not reflected.
XSCF> setsnmp disable
XSCF> setsnmp enable
setsnmp: Agent enable failed
XSCF> showsnmp

Agent Status: Enabled
Agent Port: 161
System Location: System-Location
System Contact: System-Contact
:
Status: Enabled
Community String: public

Enabled MIB Modules: None
XSCF>
Similarly, this problem also occurs when the setsnmpusm command or setsnmpvacm command is executed to change the setting while the SNMP setting is enabled.
Workaround To change the setting to enabled after it was changed to disabled, wait at least 30 seconds, the minimum interval.
To change the setting with the setsnmpusm command or setsnmpvacm command, temporarily change the SNMP setting to disable, and then wait at least 30 seconds, the minimum interval.
[How to restore]
Temporarily set disable with the setsnmp command, and then wait at least 30 seconds, the minimum interval, to set enable.
Next, execute the showsnmp, setsnmpusm, or showsnmpvacm command to confirm that the setting has been reflected as expected.
RTI No. RTIF2-170224-043
Model SPARC M12-2, SPARC M12-2S
Description Normally, the occurrence of a memory configuration error is supposed to degrade all memory under the CPU. However, some memory has not been degraded. Powering on the PPAR at this time may register the non-degraded memory in an error log.
[Example] The MEM#02B memory has been unmounted but the MEM#xxA memory is not degraded.
XSCF> showstatus
BB#00 Status:Normal;
CMUL Status:Normal;
* MEM#00B Status:Deconfigured;
* MEM#01B Status:Deconfigured;
* MEM#03B Status:Deconfigured;
* MEM#04B Status:Deconfigured;
* MEM#05B Status:Deconfigured;
* MEM#06B Status:Deconfigured;
* MEM#07B Status:Deconfigured;

Workaround Before powering on the PPAR, execute the showhardconf command and confirm that the memory is correctly mounted in accordance with memory mounting rules.
Remount any memory that is not correctly mounted.
[How to restore]
Remount the memory correctly in accordance with memory mounting rules.
With the mode switch in the Service mode position on the operation panel, turn on (AC ON) the input power to cancel the degradation of the memory registered with an error.
Execute the showstatus command to confirm that the memory is not degraded.
RTI No. RTIF2-170221-001

[Error message example]
FRU: /BB#0/PCI#3,/BB#0/CMUL
Msg: PCI Express link not active
Workaround When the device can be recognized from Oracle Solaris, ignore this error message.
