Virtual Console May Hang When You Using vi Editor (CR
6997177)
This issue has been fixed in System Firmware 6.7.12 or later.
When you use the console command of ALOM to log in to OS via the virtual console
device, and then use an editor such as vi to cut & paste a large amount of data to a
file, that virtual console may hang.
Workaround:
None. If you would like to cut & paste a large amount of data to a file on OS, log in
to OS via TELNET or SSH and use the relevant editor.
When this event occurred, use the OS shutdown command to normally stop the
system and then execute the ALOM reset operation.
System shutdown execution example:
Workaround
Do not run the usbtest.
If you plan to replace or add a hard drive to
your server, the drive might not have an
electronic disk label and you must run the
Format utility to label the drive.
Install Solaris OS with nothing connected with
ttya (Dsub 9pin).
Log into the ALOM console with nothing
connected with ttya (Dsub 9pin). Or, connect to
ALOM with an RJ-45 cable when you use it.
