20 SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 Servers Product Notes • October 2007
Firmware and General Software Issues
IPMI Chassis Power Cycle Does Not Always Work (CR
6602913)
Sometimes IMPI power off or power cycle operations might fail. These operations
instruct the Virtual Blade Server Control (VBSC) to power off or power cycle but
return immediately without waiting for the completion of the operation. If it fails,
repeat the IPMI power off, power cycle operation, or use one of the other available
interfaces to perform this operation.
No keyboard support found; Can’t open USB
keyboard package (CR 6601900)
When the OBP variable is set to input-device=keyboard, warning messages
could be seen when the system host is powered on or reset. A U.S. keyboard will
work as expected, but international keyboards (French, German, ...) will behave as
U.S. keyboards.
Workaround: Do not use the USB keyboard and instead use a virtual console by
setting the input-device variable to virtual-console.
Ierrs Generated When 100Mb/Full With Forced
Speed/Duplex is Set in e1000g.conf (CR 6555486)
These Ierrs are caused by the Forced Speed/Duplex parameter. When the port is
configured to 100Mb Full Duplex with Auto-Negotiation, the Ierrs are not
generated.
