Description
Suppose that the XSCF is configured as
an NTP client and is synchronized with
the upper level NTP server in time. If you
replace one of FRUs listed below for each
model and then power on the physical
partition (PPAR), the Oracle Solaris time
may become January 1, 2001.
[SPARC M10-1]
- Motherboard unit (MBU)
- PSU backplane (PSUBP)
[SPARC M10-4S]
- crossbar backplane unit (XBBPU)
- XSCF unit (XSCFU)
You can determine the occurrence of this
problem by executing the showdateoffset
(8) command. If an extremely large value
(400 million seconds or more) is
displayed in [Domain Date Offset], this
problem has occurred.
[Example]
XSCF> showdateoffset -a
PPAR-ID Domain Date Offset
00 424915200 sec
01 424915200 sec
02 424915200 sec
03 424915200 sec
--- Omitted ---
15 424915200 sec
If the crossbar cable in the crossbar unit
(XBU) of SPARC M10-4S fails, the name
of the failed component is wrongly
displayed with the showstatus(8)
command. The numerical
alphabetical part of the component name
is displayed in the reverse order.
[Example]
In case of crossbar cable number 0L
Wrong display: CBL#L0 Status:
Deconfigured;
Right display: CBL#0L Status: Deconfigured;
Workaround
Use the following procedure to replace
an FRU listed in "Description":
- If the setting specifying the XSCF as an
NTP client is disabled
This problem will not occur. Perform
the ordinary replacement procedure.
- If the setting specifying the XSCF as an
NTP client is enabled
1. Disconnect the LAN cable from the
XSCF-LAN port and then perform
replacement.
2. After the XSCF starts, connect the
serial cable to the serial port. Do not
connect the LAN cable at this time.
3. Disable the setting specifying the
XSCF as an NTP client. You need to
reset the XSCF to make your change
effective.
4. Execute the setdate(8) command to set
the XSCF time. After this, the XSCF is
reset.
5. Connect the LAN cable to the
XSCF-LAN port.
6. Enable the setting specifying the
XSCF as an NTP client. You need to
reset the XSCF to make your change
effective.
[How to restore]
After replacing the FRU listed in
"Description," perform the following:
When you power on the physical
partition, the Oracle Solaris time becomes
January 1, 2001. Start Oracle Solaris in
single-user mode and then set the time.
There is no effective workaround.
Please adjust the reading to the right
sequence.
