TABLE A-3
CR Description
6577528 A terminal server break command does not
work on the SP serial port.
If you use Telnet to connect to the SP serial line
with a terminal server (such as the Cisco ASM
series) and try to send a break to the Solaris
host, the break command does not work and is
ignored by the SP. For a sample output, see
Serial Line Terminal Server break Command
Does Not Work (CR 6577528)" on page
6579390 After disabling a DIMM, the OpenBoot PROM
banner does not show a decrease in the amount
of memory.
6581309 Console behavior is inconsistent when a
graphics device and keyboard are specified for
console use.
This behavior occurs when the OpenBoot
variables input-device and output-device
are set to anything other than the default value
of virtual-console.
If the control domain is set this way, some
console messages are sent to the graphics
console and others are sent to the virtual
console. This situation results in incomplete
information on both consoles. In addition, when
the system is halted, or a break is sent to the
console, control is passed to the virtual console,
which requires keyboard input over the virtual
console. As a result, the graphics console
appears to hang.
6582340 When you are connected to the virtual console
and you enter the escape character sequence
(.#) to enter the SP CLI, the following two error
messages might display before reaching the CLI
prompt:
read: Connection reset by peer
Write to vbsc: Illegal seek
This situation occurs when there is a lot of
output through the console, and implies that the
console is in use when it is not.
Workaround
Note - Fixed in System Firmware 7.1.6.d or later.
Use the break commands from the SP (either the
ILOM or ALOM CMT compatibility commands)
to send a break to the Solaris host.
Refer to the Integrated Lights Out Management
(ILOM) Supplement for SPARC Enterprise T5120 and
"SP
T5220 Servers for details.
You can also update the System Firmware to the
98.
latest version to avoid encountering this issue.
Note - Fixed in System Firmware 7.2.2.e or later.
If you manually disable any CPU or memory
resource with the ASR commands while the host
is powered on, you must power cycle the host to
complete the disabling of the resource.
After the power cycle, the resource will be
disabled, and the proper information will be
displayed in the banner.
Note - Fixed in Solaris patch ID 137111-01 or
later.
If the graphics console appears hung, connect to
the virtual console from the system processor to
provide the required input. Press Return on the
virtual console keyboard once to see the output
on the virtual console. If this workaround does
not work, contact your service engineer.
To prevent the problem, perform one of the
following workarounds:
• Install patch ID 137111-01 (or higher).
• Use only the virtual console. Ensure that the
default value of virtual-console is set for
both the input-device and output-device
variables.
Note - Fixed in System Firmware 7.2.2.e or later.
If you are refused write access when you initiate a
connection to the host with the console
command, enter console -f (the force option)
to get read and write access.
