General Information about XCP 1072 5
General Functionality Issues and Limitations
Caution – For dynamic reconfiguration (DR) and hot-plug issues, see TABLE 4 .
■ Domains using the ZFS file system cannot use Dynamic Reconfiguration.
■ The maximum number of IOUA (Base I/O Card) cards per domain is limited to
six cards.
■ Do not use the internal CD-RW/DVD-RW drive unit and the TAPE drive unit at
the same time.
■ For this XCP release, the XSCF browser user interface (XSCF Web) does not
support the External I/O Expansion Unit Manager feature.
■ The XSCF does not support the Log Archiving feature.
■ When using XSCF as the NTP server of the domain, configure it so as not to block
the ICMP protocol of the DNS server and the NTP server which the XSCF refers
to.
■ When you use the external power control interface of the external power
controller, the following notification signals are not supported:
■ the OS panic or the server hardware error signal (*CPUN/RTNU)
■
the server hardware error signal (power fail, temperature error, and fan error)
(*ALARM)
■ For 1027A-Z/X1027A-Z, PCIe Dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet Fiber XFP cards, these
limits apply:
■
Do not use more than two cards per domain.
■
Do not use these cards in an External I/O Expansion Unit.
■ For 4447A-Z/X4447A-Z, PCIe Quad-port Gigabit Ethernet Adapter UTP cards,
these maximum limits apply:
■ No more than two cards in an External I/O Expansion Unit.
■ No more than eight cards in a SPARC Enterprise M8000/M9000 servers.
■ In case that Solaris OS is a single user mode, if you switch from the domain
console to the XSCF Shell, Solaris OS might start up in multi-user. When you
operate the single user mode for Solaris OS, do not switch from the domain
console to the XSCF Shell.
■ We recommend the domain to use the XSCF Unit as NTP server. In this case, pay
attention to the following points:
■
XSCF must be connected to an external NTP server
■ When you connect one or more NTP servers in addition to XSCF, connect the
same NTP server as XSCF is using
For details on NTP server, contact a service engineer. For details on NTP settings,
refer to the SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 Servers XSCF User's
Guide.
