Technical data
For details about DR model 3.0, refer to the Sun Enterprise 10000 Dynamic Reconguration User
Guide.
DR and Bound User Processes
For this Solaris release, DR no longer automatically unbinds user processes from CPUs that are
being detached. You must perform this operation before initiating a detach sequence. The drain
operation fails if CPUs are found with bound processes.
Network Device Removal Fails When a Program Is Holding the Device
Open (5054195)
If a process is holding open a network device, any DR operation that would involve that device
fails. Daemons and processes that hold reference counts stop DR operations from completing.
Workaround: As superuser, perform the following steps:
1. Remove or rename the /rplboot directory.
2. Shut down NFS services.
# sh /etc/init.d/nfs.server stop
3. Shut down Boot Server services.
# sh /etc/init.d/boot.server stop
4. Perform the DR detach operation.
5. Restart NFS services.
# sh /etc/init.d/nfs.server start
6. Restart Boot Server services.
# sh /etc/init.d/boot.server start
InterDomain Networks
For a domain to become part of an InterDomain Network, all boards with active memory in
that domain must have at least one active CPU.
OpenBoot PROM Variables
Before you issue the boot net command from the OpenBoot PROM prompt (OK), verify that
the local-mac-address? variable is set to false. This setting is the factory default setting. If the
variable is set to true, you must ensure that this value is an appropriate local conguration.
