118 SPARC Enterprise Mx000 Servers Product Notes for XCP Version 1121 • February 2016
Sun Crypto Accelerator 6000
If you are not using the correct version of the Sun Crypto Accelerator (SCA) 6000
driver, hot-plug operations on SCA 6000 can cause the M8000/M9000 servers to
panic or hang. Version 1.1 of the SCA6000 driver and firmware supports hot-plug
operations after the required bootstrap firmware upgrade has been performed.
Version 1.0 of the SCA6000 driver does not support hot-plug and should not be used.
Hardware RAID Function
RAID technology enables the construction of a logical volume made up of several
physical disks to provide data redundancy, improved performance, or both.
The M8000/M9000 servers mounted with a RAID-capable IOUA support RAID 1
(mirroring) volumes using the Oracle Solaris OS raidctl utility.
Note – When the onboard device card is RAID-capable, the showhardconf(8)
command displays Type 2 in the output.
