Additional Information and Procedures

This section describes additional known issues and limitations at the time of this
release.

Logging In to the System

In addition to the standard default login, the M3000 server is delivered with a
temporary login called admin to enable remote initial login, through a serial port.
The admin user privileges are fixed to useradm and cannot be changed. You cannot
log in as temporary admin using the standard UNIX user name and password
authentication or SSH public key authentication. The temporary admin account has
no password, and one cannot be added for it.
The temporary admin account is disabled after someone logs in as the default user,
or after someone logged in as temporary admin has successfully added the first user
with valid password and privileges.
If, before the default login is used, you cannot log in as temporary admin, you can
determine if someone else has done so by executing the showuser -l command.

XSCF Web Browser Issues

The XSCF Web browser interface occasionally truncates output. Some examples:
When you selected SSH on the snapshot screen, the maximum number of character
input for Host, Directory, ID, and Password doesn't correspond to the maximum
number of character input on the XSCF Shell. The Panic Log page only displays the
last 50 lines of the panic message (CR 6756052). The browser interface displays only
the last two digits of the non-audit log size limit (CR 6742502).
To see the full output use the XSCF Shell command-line interface (CLI).

Booting From a WAN Boot Server

The WAN boot installation method enables you to boot and install software over a
wide area network (WAN) by using HTTP. To support booting the M3000 server
from a WAN boot server, you must have the appropriate wanboot executable
™
installed and OpenBoot version 4.24 or above to provide the needed hardware
support.
