This section explains notes on using the Remote Power Distribution Unit:
SPARC M10-4S is unsupported.
Connect the Remote Power Distribution Unit only to the cluster node.
When connecting it to peripherals such as a shared disk, prepare the Remote Power Distribution Unit for peripherals separately.
Connect the LAN for the Remote Power Distribution Unit to the administrative LAN.
This function is only performed when the node could not be shut down by the option hardware facilities such as RCI or XSCF.
When using it for SPARC Enterprise M4000 and M5000, all partitions of the node to be forcibly stopped are forcibly stopped. Shutdown is not performed at each partition.
Virtualized environment is unsupported.
When using PRIMECLUSTER in Oracle VM Server for SPARC environment and Oracle Solaris Kernel Zones environment, the Remote Power Distribution Unit cannot be used.
If an error occurs in one Remote Power Distribution Unit connected among two of them that is connected to the node, the node's power cannot be cut and the stop of the node may not guaranteed. In this case, to prevent the conflict of user resources, the node is manually switched, not forcibly switched for this case.
