Sun Microsystems X6440 ILOM BIOS settings issue, ILOM IP address is not updated, Power LED issue

ILOM BIOS settings issue

If ILOM is set to use a DHCP assigned IP address, and the DHCP server is offline, wait until the DHCP server is online before attempting to reboot. Issuing a reboot or manually changing from DHCP to a static IP address will result in incorrect gateway and IP address settings to be recorded. Once DHCP is restored, the original IP address will be assigned.

Workaround:

Do not reboot the server until DHCP is restored, or connect a terminal to the serial console’s NET Management port and manually assign a static IP address if access is urgently required to ILOM.

ILOM IP address is not updated

If the ILOM IP address is changed via the LAN configuration in the BIOS, the IP address will not update. The old IP address is displayed. It is recommended to change the IP address via ILOM.

If you choose to change the ILOM IP address via BIOS, exit and re-enter the LAN configuration screen to see the changes.

PEM fault light illuminates after hot-inserting into the server module

The Mellanox Infiniband PCI-E expansion module fault light may illuminate after it has been hot-inserted into a server module running the Solaris OS. The fault light will not clear itself until the system is rebooted.

Workaround:

Update to the latest BIOS that is included on the Tools and Driver v1.1 DVD-ROM or a later version.

Power LED issue

The green LED Power LED incorrectly stops blinking and turns solid green once ILOM detects that the power is good. The green Power LED should stop blinking and turn solid only when the operating system is ready.
