#pragma ident "@(#)release_notes 1.11 08/04/01 SMI" Known issues: . Booting a Sunfire T-2000 off the DVD goes first in the OBP 'ok' menu. Type "boot cdrom" to start the installation. . An interface needs to be plumbed and up before sub-flows can be created, modified, and observed on it. . Combination of multiple attributes for flows may not work. Two combinations known to work: - IP version + IP address - Transprt Type + Port. . Only flows that are created on physical links (NICs) can specify cpus with -p. . The syntax flowadm show-flow -s -i does not work. Only a single line is returned instead of a continuous output at the interval. . Flow properties are not retained across reboot. . Flow restrictions exist. For details click the link to the flowadm.1m.txt in http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/crossbow/snapshots. In summary, these restrictions are the following: - Individual flow restrictions (ip_version, local_ip, and remote_ip; transport, local_port, and remote_port) - Flow restrictions per link (disjoint flows, enclosed flows, intersecting flows) - Flow restrictions per zone (flow names, links with exclusive IP stacks) . Link aggregations are not supported in thiis beta release. . IPsec and IPv6 tunnels from exclusive zones are not supported. . Bug 6652393 in snv81. This does not effect installation from the iso DVD images. Workarounds are only needed for 64 bit DEBUG. The easiest way to avoid this problem after installing 64 bit DEBUG is to boot into failsafe mode and ask for the root disk to be mounted on /a. If you have a system without NVIDIA graphics, the easiest method is to just remove the NVIDIA driver to prevent the pseudo instance from being loaded. Run "pkgrm -R /a NVDAgraphicsr NVDAgraphics" and reboot. If you have NVIDIA graphics and don't need assertions enabled for other debugging add "set aok=1" to /a/etc/system and reboot. If assertions are needed, remove the NVIDIA 169.08 graphics packages (see above) reboot and then install the 100.14.19 driver from http://solaris-x86.eng/nVIDIA or the NVIDIA download page. . For SPARC bfu images, you may need to issue these additional commands in zonecfg: add inherit-pkg-dir set dir=/etc/crypto end . To avoid SMF error messages about the avahi-bridge, issue the following command in non-global zones: # svcadmin disable avahi-bridge-dsd . When installing the DVD on ACER Ferrari 4000 series amd64 ACR laptop, there the native keyboard is sometimes (rarely) not detected. The problem may go away after retrying. In all cases, using an external USB keyboard addresses the problem. . Some installation problems were observed on SunFire v210 SPARC servers: the glm driver fails to install off of DVD or perform jumpstart installation. The workaround: On the setup page for Reboot After Installation? At the option to select between automatic or manual reboot, select *Manual Reboot*. This is not the default selection.

At the Installation on some T2000 systems, the boot-device may not be updated properly. If the bits were installed on a different boot partition (disk:a for example), and over-wrote the original one, and if the first reboot fails with a message such as the following: Boot device: disk:e File and args: kmdb The file just loaded does not appear to be executable. {0} ok then change the boot-device variable from the 'ok' prompt to the partition used to install (disk:a in this example). . Installed manpages do not describe the new dladm(1m), flowadm(1m), acctadm(1m) and netstat(1m) functionality. The text versions are available at http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/crossbow/snapshots . Zones configured with option 'dedicated-cpu' will fail to boot with following error - zoneadm: zone '': libpool(3LIB) error: System error zoneadm: zone '': dedicated-cpu setting cannot be instantiated zoneadm: zone '': call to zoneadmd failed To circumvent this issue add following lines to /etc/system and reboot the system - set mac:mac_srs_thread_bind = 0x0 set mac:mac_soft_ring_thread_bind = 0x0 . Currently create-vnic, delete-vnic and show-vnic operations in dladm do permit vnic-id to be upto 899 even though valid range is 0 to 799. Operations performed on VNICs with vnic-id from 800 to 899 gets applied to etherstubs with etherstub-id from 0 to 99. This behavior will change in future releases.
