Important Information About the SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 Servers 25
When Either NIU Port in the N2 CPU is Disabled the
Corresponding XAUI is Configured (CR 6599334)
When either NIU port in the CPU is disabled the corresponding XAUI should not be
configured. However, the ASR database for the corresponding XAUI is not updated
if either of the NIU port is disabled using the disablecomponent SP CLI command
or due to failures detected by POST. In this case the corresponding XAUI card is still
available in the OpenBoot device tree.
Booting Solaris OS From External USB DVD-ROM Drive
Could Cause Panic and Fail to Boot (CR 6588452)
Booting the Solaris 10 OS from an external USB DVD-ROM drive could panic the
server and fail to boot the OS. This happens because the Solaris OS names the device
storage@1, and the system firmware names the device cdrom@1.
Both the OpenBoot firmware and Solaris OS follow the 1275 USB bindings rules to
name nodes. For example:
The Solaris 10 OS always names the node as storage@n. So, the storage device with
a subclass of 2, 3, or 4 (SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 must be 2) cannot boot
with Solaris 10 OS DVD.
Workaround: Use the drive whose subclass is not 2, 3, or 4 as the replacement.
