Please refer to the Install.info file for instructions on updating the firmware
in the flashprom using the files included in this patch.  In particular, there
is information on the differences involved with the ILOM-based Sun System
Firmware (7.x) in connection with the use of the Solaris Sun Update Connection
utility.

        compatibility between releases of Sun System Firmware and
        Oracle VM Server for SPARC releases.  Documentation relevant to
        this platform can be found at:

NOTE 4: Known Problem with Sun System Firmware 7.3.0:
        o CR=6993191
 
          Problem Description:
          --------------------
 
          On SPARC Enterprise T5440 or Netra T5440 servers, when LDoms configurations created on a 2-way
          configuration is used on a 4-way configuration, system will hang when powered on. You may see
          following messages,
 
          2010-10-19 01:59:49.953 0:0:0>Master set ACK for vbsc runpost command and spin...  |
          <Continously spinning twirly bar above - never exited>
 
 
          Work Around directions:
          -----------------------
 
        When system hangs, manually power down the primary domain. Set the configurations in the
        "factory-default" configuration and then power on again. You can either use following commands at the
        ILOM prompt.
 
          -> stop /SYS
          -> set /HOST/bootmode config="factory-default"
          -> start /SYS
 
          Or following comands at the ALOM shell,
 
          poweroff
          bootmode config="factory-default"
          poweron
 
NOTE 5: In order to use the Live Migration functionality with this revision of
        Sun System Firmware, you must be running the SUNWldm package from the
        Oracle VM Server for SPARC v2.1 (or greater).
 
NOTE 6: BugID 16839239 added in Sun System Firmware 7.4.7 for SPARC T2 platforms:
 
        This fix introduces a change in behavior regarding how time/date
        changes are handled. Previously any time/date change made other than
        by ILOM (by NTP or other method of setting the SP time that is not
        done through ILOM) would not affect the time/date of the host, even
        after a power cycle. But the change would be reflected in the
        time/date of the host after a full (including SP) power cycle, if that
        change was made since the last power-on of the host.
 
        With this change, all such time/date changes will now be reflected in
        the domain's time/date after a host power cycle regardless of how the
        change was made.
