Notes on Building or Deleting the Hardware RAID The data in the disk drive is not secured during the build or the deletion of a ■ hardware RAID. When you newly build a hardware RAID while the system is running, or delete the built hardware RAID once, do not fail to make backup copies of the data.
See the "Notes on DVD Drives and Discs in SPARC Enterprise" on the website below before using the CD/DVD discs in the standard DVD drive mounted in this server. http://www.fujitsu.com/sparcenterprise/manual/ Notes on the Use of USB Memory To execute the dumpconfig(8), restoreconfig(8) or snapshot(8) command, if you specify USB memory as the destination to store data, prepare the USB memory as a medium in advance.
If you switch the mode while using the RCI or the automatic power control, the system power is controlled as follows. RCI and APCS Control with Mode Switch TABLE 4-1 Function Mode Switch Locked Service Remote power-on/power-off op- Remote power-on/power-off op- erations are enabled.
Hardware RAID Function RAID technology enables the construction of a logical volume made up of several physical disks to provide data redundancy, improved performance, or both. The on-board SAS controller of the M3000 server which consists of the SPARC64 VII+ processors supports RAID 1 (mirroring) volumes using the Oracle Solaris OS raidctl utility.
TABLE 4-3 Hardware Documentation Updates TABLE 4-3 Title Page Number Update SPARC Enterprise M3000 The following caution will be added in "1.2.1 Electrical Safety Server Service Manual Precautions": Caution - Before doing the maintenance, unplug the power cords. This product uses double pole/neutral fusing which could create an electric shock hazard.

The data stored will include the information about the system. To use USB memory, you need to pay attention to the management of the USB memory in which the data stored, from the data security viewpoint. We do not provide guarantees to every USB memory from any manufacturers that currently on the market against its connectivity to XSCF and proper operation.
To use the APCS, see the Enhanced Support Facility User's Guide for Machine Administration Automatic Power Control Function (Supplement Edition). Limitation for 1027A-Z/X1027A-Z For PCIe Dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet Fiber XFP Low Profile Adapter (1027A- Z/X1027A-Z), these maximum limits apply: No more than six cards per a domain.
Disable the Volume Management Daemon (vold) before unconfiguring a DVD drive with the cfgadm(1M) command. To disable vold, stop the daemon by issuing the command /etc/init.d/volmgt stop. After the device has been removed or inserted, restart the daemon by issuing the command /etc/init.d/volmgt start.
