ALOM CMT Compatibility CLI Displays Incorrect Guest
Status Sent From OpenBoot PROM and Solaris (CR 6567748)
The domain status information output of the ALOM CMT compatibility CLI
showplatform command could be ambiguous. The domain status for a domain
could indicate Running when the OS is not running. For example, the following
output might be seen while the domain is at the OpenBoot ok prompt.
Similar ambiguity exists for the domain status information displayed by the ILOM
BUI and ILOM CLI.
The ambiguity also exists in the ILOM control MIB, but not in the platform entity
MIB. Thus, the ambiguous domain status might be visible to third party systems
monitoring tools if they monitor this entry.
Workaround: Ignore the domain status information from all CLIs and BUI output as
well as from the domain status entry in the ILOM control MIB. Retrieve the true
status of the domain manually by accessing the domain console.
Intermittent POST PIU0 Link Train Errors (CR 6571886)
POST could encounter intermittent POST PIU0 link train errors during power cycle
test.
Workaround: If this problem persists power-cycle the system as follows (in the
ALOM CMT compatibility CLI):
SP Serial Line Terminal Server break Command Does Not
Work (CR 6577528)
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. Use the break command from the SP CLI to
send a break to the Solaris host.
