22 SPARC Enterprise T5440 Server Product Notes • December 2010
General Functionality Issues and
Limitations
This section describes general issues known to exist at this release of the SPARC
Enterprise T5440 server.
Cryptographic Function
The IPsec capability of the on-chip cryptographic accelerator in the UltraSPARC T2
Plus multicore processor is a mechanism that cannot be used unless the IPsec
activation package has been installed. As the IPsec activation package is presently
not supported by Fujitsu, the IPsec function cannot be used in Fujitsu-brand servers.
RAID Function
A hardware RAID function is provided as standard in SPARC Enterprise T5440
server. However, with regard to data protection, reliability, and serviceability, Fujitsu
does not support this function.
Fujitsu recommends use of software RAID functions for internal disks as specified
below:
■
PRIMECLUSTER GDS
■
Solaris Volume Manager (attached to Solaris OS)
■
VERITAS Storage Foundation
Addition or Degradation of CMP/Memory
Modules
Degrading or adding CMP/memory modules is not supported.
Do not change the ILOM
ioreconfigure
parameter to a value other than "
false
".
Changing the parameter may cause the input path to be rebuilt, which may prevent
the Solaris OS from starting up. For more information on the
ioreconfigure
parameter, see the Integrated Lights Out Manager 2.0 Supplement for SPARC Enterprise
T5440 Server .
