Description Suppose that the firmware version is XCP 2250 or later in a system configuration that has at least 3 BBs or a crossbar box. In this system configuration, if Oracle Solaris stays running for a long time after XSCF master/standby switching, the Oracle Solaris time may shift when the physical partition (PPAR) is powered off and on.
Also, in the same system configuration with a similar firmware version, the following error log is registered with the XSCF every 10 days after XSCF master/standby switching.
Date: Sep 15 11:42:38 JST 2015
Code: 20000000-00560300fcff0000ff-01e400010000000000000000
Status: Notice Occurred: Sep 15 11:43:08.531 JST 2015
FRU: /BB#2/CMUL,/FIRMWARE
Msg: XSCF self diagnosis warning detection
Workaround After XSCF master/standby switching, promptly perform any of the following operations.
- Execute the rebootxscf(8) command to reset all the XSCFs.

- Execute the rebootxscf(8) command to reset the XSCFs that are neither the master nor standby.

- Stop all the PPARs, and then turn off all the input power supplies. After that, wait at least 30 seconds, and then turn on the input power supplies.

[How to restore]
Execute the following procedure to start Oracle Solaris in single user mode and then set the time.
1. Execute the poweroff(8) command to power off the PPAR.

2. Execute the showpparstatus(8) command to confirm that the status is "Powered off," indicating that the PPAR has been powered off.

3. Set the OpenBoot PROM environment variable auto-boot? to "false."

RTI No. RTIF2-150818-001
Model SPARC M10-4S
Description When you execute the deleteboard(8) command with the DR feature to remove a system board (PSB) where the XSCF is rebooting, the deleteboard(8) command may end abnormally with the "SCF process down detected" error. If the target system board is the standby XSCF, the master XSCF will become non-responsive while inactive. If the target system board is the slave XSCF, the master XSCF will reboot, with the result of switching between the master XSCF and standby XSCF.
In contrast, when the addboard(8) command is executed to add a PSB, and a command timeout is detected, then the command ends abnormally. In this event, the master XSCF and standby XSCF are not switched.
The following example shows the deleteboard(8) command terminated due to an internal error:
[Example]
XSCF> deleteboard -c disconnect -m unbind=resource 00-0
PSB#00-0 will be unconfigured from PPAR immediately. Continue?[y|n] :y
All domains are temporarily suspended, proceed?[y|n] :y
Start unconfigure preparation of PSB. [1200sec]
0|/end
An internal error has occurred. Please contact your system administrator.
XSCF>
Workaround Execute the showhardconf(8) command to confirm that [Status] of every crossbar box and the SPARC M10-4S is "Normal." Then, execute the deleteboard(8) or addboard(8) command.
During the execution of the deleteboard(8) or addboard(8) command, do not execute any command that involves an XSCF reboot by the rebootxscf -a or switchscf(8) command.
[How to restore]
- If the target system board is the standby XSCF

Turn off the input power to all SPARC M10 system chassis or crossbar box chassis, and then turn it on again (AC OFF/ON).

- If the target system board is the slave XSCF

Follow the instructions in [Workaround] to remove or add the system board using the DR feature.
RTI No. RTIF2-150729-002
Model SPARC M10-1, SPARC M10-4, SPARC M10-4S
Description When a DIMM failure is detected during the self-diagnosis test (POST) on the physical partition (PPAR), the component is marked as a failure. Even after DIMM replacement, the failure mark is not cleared. In the following example, after replacement, components are marked as failures and their status is "Deconfigured."
[Example]
XSCF> showstatus
* MBU Status:Deconfigured;
* CPU#0 Status:Deconfigured;
* MEM#00A Status:Deconfigured;
* MEM#01A Status:Deconfigured;
* MEM#02A Status:Deconfigured;
* MEM#03A Status:Deconfigured;
Workaround There is no effective workaround.
[How to restore]

RTI No. RTIF2-150708-001
Model SPARC M10-1, SPARC M10-4, SPARC M10-4S
Description Suppose the motherboard unit (MBU), CPU memory unit lower (CMUL), or CPU memory unit upper (CMUU) is replaced at the same time as a microSD card. Then, the self-diagnosis test (POST) on the physical partition (PPAR) detects and marks the component as a failure. Even after the replacement, the failure mark is not cleared. In the following example, after replacement, components are marked as failures and their status is "Deconfigured."
[Example]
XSCF> showstatus
* MBU Status:Deconfigured;
* CPU#0 Status:Deconfigured;
* MEM#00A Status:Deconfigured;
* MEM#01A Status:Deconfigured;
* MEM#02A Status:Deconfigured;
* MEM#03A Status:Deconfigured;
Workaround When replacing the motherboard unit (MBU), CPU memory unit lower (CMUL), or CPU memory unit upper (CMUL) and a microSD card, replace them one at a time, not at the same time.
[How to restore]
Update the firmware to XCP 2250 or later. Set the mode switch on the operation panel to Service mode, turn off the input power, and then turn it on again (AC OFF/ON).
RTI No. RTIF2-150626-001
Model SPARC M10-4S
Description
Suppose that you select [PPAR Operation] from the [Verified Boot] menu of XSCF Web and specify a PPAR that is not PPAR#0 to display details of the X.509 public key certificate for a user using the verified boot. In this case, the wrong X.509 public key certificate is displayed for PPAR#0.
Workaround To check the public key certificate of a PPAR that is not PPAR#0, use the showvbootcerts(8) command.
RTI No. RTIF2-140808-003
Model SPARC M10-1, SPARC M10-4, SPARC M10-4S
Description After the occurrence of a component failure, you may fail to power off the physical partition (PPAR).
This phenomenon may occur when the following procedure is performed:
1. While the PPAR is being reactivated due to a component failure, the poweroff(8) command is executed without the -f option.

2. After the PPAR is powered off upon a PPAR reactivation failure due to a component failure, the poweron(8) command is executed to power on the PPAR.

3. The poweroff(8) command is executed without the -f option.
Workaround
Do not execute the poweroff(8) command while the PPAR is being reactivated due to a component failure.
[How to restore]
Execute the shutdown command from Oracle Solaris to power off the PPAR.
[Example]
# shutdown -y -g0 -i5
RTI No. RTIF2-140616-005
Model SPARC M10-4S
Description If you turn off the input power of the master XSCF (AC OFF) and then turn it on again (AC ON) when the power to the physical partition (PPAR) is off, error handling may fail due to the temporary absence of the master XSCF. In addition, the PPAR may remain abnormal so that you may be unable to power on the PPAR again.
You can determine the occurrence of this phenomenon by executing the showboards(8) command. If the value of "Pwr Conn Conf" displayed as the master XSCF PSB status is "n y n," this phenomenon has occurred.
[Example] If the master XSCF is BB#00
XSCF> showboards -a
PSB PPAR-ID(LSB) Assignment Pwr Conn Conf Test Fault
---- ------------ ----------- ---- ---- ---- ------- --------
00-0 00(00) Assigned n y n Passed Normal
01-0 01(00) Assigned y y n Passed Normal
Workaround There is no effective workaround.
[How to restore]
Turn off the input power to all SPARC M10-4S chassis that make up the system and then turn it on again.
RTI No. RTIF2-140507-010
Model SPARC M10-4S
Description In a system configuration with at least 3 BBs or a crossbar box, if the master/standby switchover occurs more than 256 times, the "SCF process down detected" error is detected by the slave XSCF, and XSCF "coremgrd" may cause a "process down."
Workaround Do not perform consecutive XSCF master/standby switchover.
[How to restore]
Reset the XSCF. The system will become usable.
RTI No. RTIF2-140507-012
Model SPARC M10-4S
Description
In a system with several SPARC M10-4S, if a crossbar box or the XSCF unit of a crossbar box is replaced after powering off all chassis and then the input power is turned on, the following error log may be registered.
Indispensable parts are not installed (OPNL).
Indispensable parts are not installed (FAN).
Indispensable parts are not installed (PSU).
Workaround When replacing a crossbar box, do so after turning off the input power (AC OFF) to only the crossbar box being replaced.
When replacing the XSCF unit of a crossbar box, execute the replacefru(8) command to do so.
Refer to the Fujitsu M10-4/Fujitsu M10-4S/SPARC M10-4/SPARC M10-4S Service Manual for replacing the crossbar box or the XSCF unit in the crossbar box.
[How to restore]
Turn off/on the input power (AC OFF/ON) of the newly installed crossbar box.
RTI No. RTIF2-140410-005
Model
SPARC M10-1, SPARC M10-4, SPARC M10-4S
Description If a hardware error is detected immediately after powering off or restarting the physical partition (PPAR), the PPAR power off or restart process may be stopped, and may not be completed.
To check whether this phenomenon has occurred, power off or restart the PPAR and then execute the showpparprogress(8) command. If the PPAR remains in the power on state and the power off process has not completed after at least one minute has passed, this phenomenon has occurred.
[Example of unsuccessful power off]
XSCF> showpparprogress -p 0
This PPAR is powered on.
Normally, when the PPAR power off completes, the power off sequence and PPAR state are as follows.
[Example of successful power off]
XSCF> showpparprogress -p 0
PPAR Power Off PPAR#0 [1/3]
CPU Stop PPAR#0 [2/3]
PSU Off PPAR#0 [3/3]
The sequence of power control is completed.
Workaround There is no effective workaround.
[How to restore]
If the PPAR power supply remains in the power-on state 30 minutes after executing the showpparprogress(8) command, turn off the input power to all chassis and then turn it on again (AC OFF/ON).
RTI No. RTIF2-140409-002
Model SPARC M10-1, SPARC M10-4, SPARC M10-4S
Description If you disconnect and then connect USB memory while the executed snapshot(8) command is collecting information into the memory, the following hardware error may be detected:
