3.3 Issues Affecting B100x and B200x Server
Blades That are Running Solaris x86
The known problems listed in this section have been observed to affect both B100x
and B200x server blades. They are presented in three groups:
■ Section 3.3.1, “Issues for Which You Must Apply a Workaround or Perform an
Operational Procedure” on page 3-8
■ Section 3.3.2, “Error Messages That Can be Safely Ignored” on page 3-13
■ Section 3.3.3, “Other Issues” on page 3-16
3.3.1 Issues for Which You Must Apply a Workaround
or Perform an Operational Procedure
4962226: Warning: Jumpstart on Solaris x86 Is Not Single Shot
Caution – In some circumstances a system administrator might choose to boot a
blade from the network to recover from possible errors on its hard disk. If you have
configured the blade to perform a Jumpstart installation, any subsequent network
boot of the blade will by default result in a Jumpstart installation being performed.
This will erase the contents of the hard disk. Therefore, to prevent the blade from
executing a Jumpstart installation (after the first operating system installation), we
recommend you remove the SjumpsCF and SsysidCF option names from the
blade’s client-specific macro after the initial Jumpstart installation has completed.
(This network booting behavior is different from that of blades running SPARC
Solaris.)
