Notes For Dual Extended System Control Facility (Xscf) Unit - Fujitsu SPARC Enterprise M8000 Product Notes

Notes for Dual eXtended System Control
Facility (XSCF) Unit
Because the dual eXtended System Control Facility (XSCF) unit is a functionality
which will be supported in the future, you will find several points which are
different from what is written in the documentations of SPARC Enterprise M8000
and M9000 servers.
READY LEDs on the XSCF unit#1 for base cabinet (XSCFU_B#1) and the XSCF
■
unit#1 for expansion cabinet (XSCFU_C#1) will keep blinking.
You cannot sign on to XSCFU_B#1 via serial cable nor LAN.
■
The XSCF command showhardconf(8) shows as follows:
■
The XSCF command switchscf(8) always fails with displaying the following
■
message:
XSCF cannot be switched because the other XSCF is not available.
The XSCF command applynetwork(8) will display the following message,
■
which can be safely ignored:
The other XSCF could not apply the network settings
The XSCF command showhostname(8), setssh(8), settelnet(8), setntp(8)
■
and sethttps(8) will display the following message, which can be safely
ignored:
Cannot communicate with the other XSCF. Check the other XSCF's state.
Don't connect LAN cable to XSCFU_B#1.
■
To connect the expansion cabinet on the SPARC Enterprise M9000 server, connect
XSCFU_B#1 and XSCFU_C#1 by using the data cable (Note).
Note – Data cable is the cable connected to each connector which connects the XSCF
unit for base cabinet and the XSCF unit for expansion cabinet.
The Remote Cabinet Interface (RCI) functionality for the XSCFU_B#1 is not
■
supported.
Do not connect and do not set the RCI device to the XSCFU_B#1.
