Bug Id :4524168  
Date of Resolved Release :30-JUL-2003 


Impact

On Sun Netra t 1120/1125 and Netra t 1400/1405 systems with Netra Lights Out Management (LOM), the LOM driver may hang the system when the "shutdown -i6 -g0 -y" command is issued. This issue may occur only on rare occasions.


Contributing Factors

This issue can occur in the following releases:

SPARC Platform

  • Netra t 1120/1125 with Netra Lights Out Management 2.0 without patch 110208-18
  • Netra t 1400/1405 with Netra Lights Out Management 2.0 without patch 110208-18

The described issue may occur when issuing the "shutdown -i6 -g0 -y" command or performing a system reboot.


Symptoms

When this issue occurs, the system hangs after the message "syncing filesystems... done" appears. The LOM console is unaffected, and certain LOM functions are still available (i.e. the "ok" prompt can be reached by sending a "break" on the serial console, the system can be pinged, or the system can be rebooted).


Workaround

There is no workaround. Please see the "Resolution" section below.


Resolution

This issue is addressed in the following releases:

SPARC Platform

  • Netra t 1120/1125 with Netra Lights Out Management 2.0 patch 110208-18 or later
  • Netra t 1400/1405 with Netra Lights Out Management 2.0 patch 110208-18 or later
