Hardware and Mechanical Issues
False Intermittent SATA Errors Seen on Sun SPARCEnterprise T5140 and T5240 Servers (CR 6880299)
When booting the Solaris 10 5/08 OS (S10 U5), some systems with SATA DVDdevices intermittently log port failur errors in /var/adm/messages. The followingshows an example of typical error messages for the T5x40 server:
Workaround: You can ignore these messages.
Not Enough Memory to Expand MD On Some MemoryConfigurations (CR 6879970)
This issue is resolved by updating the system firmware to 7.2.7.b or later.
If the memory size for one CPU in a system is 128 gigabytes, memory resources forthe other CPU must be greater than 16 gigabytes. Otherwise, a memory overflowcondition will result. TABLE 1-1 illustrates the three memory configurations thatexhibit this behavior.
Workaround: Assign memory resources in configurations that avoid thecombinations shown in TABLE 1-1.
/pci@400/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/usb@0,1 (ohci1): Connecting device on port 1 failed/pci@400/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/usb@0,2 (ehci0): Connecting device on port 2 failed

When this event occurred, perform the following procedure. After you restoreusing this procedure, you do not need to replace the component.
1. Turn off the power to the system.
Power-off operation example:
[In case of ALOM CMT compatible shell]
sc> poweroff -y[In case of ILOM mode]
-> stop -script /SYS
2. Wait for 180 or more seconds.
3. Remove the power cord.
4. Wait for 180 or more seconds.
5. Insert the power cord.
Workaround: Take 180 or more seconds for each of the intervals between the sypower-off and the power cord removal, and between the removal and insertionthe power cord.
Solaris OS Issues
Boot Drive May Report drive type unknown for Solformat Command (CR 6886514)This issue is resolved with Solaris patch ID 124630-32 or later.
During a period extending from mid-September to early October 2009(approximately 3 weeks) a patch was preinstalled on some SPARC Enterprise Tand T5240 servers, which introduced a latent bug into those systems. The bug described as latent because it is activated only when the Solaris format commis used. Otherwise, the bug has no effect on system behavior or performance.
When a system administrator or other user with root (/) privileges enters the focommand on a system containing this bug, the boot drive will report drive tyunknown. This fault condition presents two problems for the administrator:
The administrator will be unable to access unused portions of the boot drivbecause of the unknown drive type error.
The presence of mounted partitions blocks use of the format utilitys autoconfigure feature. Attempts to bypass this restriction by booting from the netor removable media could put the system in an unbootable state.

Workaround: The sequence of steps shown in CODE EXAMPLE 1 must be followedexactly as shown. To simplify tracking of the procedure, the steps are organized intonine sections:
1. Determine whether or not the systems boot device is affected.
2. Shut server down and restart in single user mode with the root filesystemmounted read only.
3. Mount the tmpfs /tmp filesystem to provide a working area.
4. Capture the boot drives existing vtoc in a file stored in /tmp.
5. Make a copy of the fmthard utility for use in the /tmp work area.
6. Set and export the NOINUSE_CHECK variable to allow the format command fullaccess to the boot drive.
7. Run the format utility to restore the drives type.
8. Use the fmthard command and stored information to complete the recovery.
9. Verify the success of the recovery.

Messages Identifying the Availability of CPUs asHot-Insertion EventsMessages referring to hot-insertion of CPUs can appear on the console and in thelogs. These messages are generated during initial system power on if the system hashad a firmware upgrade or system component change. These messages aregenerated only on systems with firmware version 7.1.3.d (or later). For example:
These messages display the available cores and threads on a system rather thanshowing the entire list of resources. If a CPU contains fewer than eight cores, themissing cores are not reported.
Components are automatically detected. The detections are described as hot-insertionevents. Once the components have been identified, no subsequent messages aredisplayed unless ILOM detects a change in the system configuration on a systemwith hot-pluggable CPU boards or if a CPU thread or core fails.

Chapter 2 Important Information About the SPARC Enterprise T5140 and T5240 Servers
Processor Identification
Processor IDs Might Not Start at 0, and Might Not beContiguous
Different platforms and platforms of the same model might have different procIDs for identical configurations. For example, on UltraSPARC T1 CPU basedplatforms, the processor IDs start with processor ID 0. But other platforms, incluthose based on the UltraSPARC T2 Plus CPU, might not have a processor ID 0Solaris psrinfo command might display output similar to the following forplatforms based on the UltraSPARC T2 Plus processor:
The processor IDs exported to a guest domain on a platform running multiple domains with a virtual machine manager might represent a virtual abstractionWithin each guest domain, each processor ID visible to the software will be a uninteger value.
Software running in different guest domains on the same physical machine misee the same or different sets of virtual processor IDs. If domaining is enabled,virtual processor IDs and physical processor IDs are never the same. For inform
about the mapping between virtual and physical CPU numbers, see the latest LDomains (LDoms) Administration Guide.
Processor IDs are simply unique integer values in the domain where the softwrunning. The integer value will fit in the type processorid_t. Also refer to tp_online(2) man page.

Notes on the Use of 200V Power SupplyFor the servers that have the B-type plug, confirm that a 15A overcurrent protectiondevice is available outside the server. If one is not available, prepare an external 15A
overcurrent protection that can be achieved by means of no-fuse breakers (NFBs) orfuses. The B-type plug refers to plugs other than grounding-type ones with twoparallel blades, such as the NEMA L6-30, L6-20, L6-15, and L5-15.
