Description
When an attempt is made to install
Oracle Solaris via vnet, installation menu
activation may take one hour or more in
the following case: the network speed
between the SPARC M10 system chassis
and the installation server is exceeding 1
Gbps or the system consists of multiple
SPARC M10-4Ss.

SPARC M10-4S via vnet

*1 This step takes time.
If the system board is deleted by the
dynamic reconfiguration of physical
partitions (DR), the monitoring of Host
Watchdog for logical domains may stop.
When the XSCF is restarted or the input
power is turned on again, the following
problem may, in rare cases, occur: ntpd is
left inactive and, as a result, synchronization
of the XSCF time with the NTP server
time fails. To confirm whether ntpd is
inactive, execute the showntp -l
command. If the message "NTP is
unavailable." appears, ntpd is inactive.
This problem does not occur if the setting
specifying the XSCF as an NTP client or
NTP server is disabled.
Workaround
Install Oracle Solaris from a vdisk or
DVD-ROM created using an ISO image.
After the system board is deleted, to
restart the monitoring of Host Watchdog,
reboot one of logical domains in the
physical partition (PPAR).
There is no effective workaround.
[How to restore]
If the setting specifying the XSCF as an
NTP client or NTP server is enabled and
ntpd is inactive, execute the rebootxscf(8)
command to restart the XSCF.
