tweaked Sun workaround text

[Dave Love-7]

As far as I can tell, the Sun workarounds are generic in ELOM and ILOM,
and haven't been fixed in the current versions.  I have x4100 with ILOM
1.0 and 2.0, x2200M2 with ELOM 2.0, and x4200m2 and x4500 with ILOM 2.0.
All seem to need the workarounds, and have the latest firmware apart
from ILOM 1.0.

I think this change to the text makes it clearer, and it's worth keeping
the Sun bits together.

By the way, ELOM is EOLed -- we're stuck with its problems on most of
our kit, sigh -- but there is an ILOM 3 in the works; perhaps that fixes
the bugs, and I'll try to check if other people here get newer kit with
it on.

Hey Dave,

Thanks for some of the clarifications.  I'd like to keep the ordering
the same b/c it's actually split up IPMI 1.5 vs. IPMI 2.0.  And some of
the text was from folks at Sun.  So I've done the below patch instead.
Look good?

I think it's misleading to list `Sun Fire X2200/X4150/X4450' other than
as examples.  As far as I can tell, this is a generic ELOM thing, and
the should say `ELOM'.  Also, the `reported to be fixed in a later
release' is from at least a year ago, according to CVS, and it hasn't
happened yet as far as I can tell; I think it's at least worth saying
it's not fixed as of 2.0.2.5.

I could see if my hardware-oriented HPC Sun contact knows any more if
that would be helpful.

Ahhhh.  Ok ... then in that case I should put:

"Sun Fire 2200/4150/4450 with ELOM"

I didn't understand that it was an ELOM thing.

Fair point.  It's a phrase that I've added to many workarounds as long
as the vendor says that they are working on it.  I think I'll remove it.

I generally dislike documenting version numbers in b/c they can be out
of date very quickly.  Also, how are you getting the firmware version
number?  B/c the IPMI way to get version numbers doesn't have that much
detail.

# > /usr/sbin/bmc-info  | grep sion
Device Revision:   1
Firmware Revision: 2.00
IPMI Version:      2.0
Aux Firmware Revision Info: 302h

Ok, hopefully we can get more clarifications.

I can't actually demonstrate that on the other systems, but I think it
must be the case; I assume ELOM has the same lan bugs on any system that
runs it.  At least one of the 4150 and 4450 -- I can't recall what I
looked up -- is upgradable to ILOM, in which case the workaround will
change.

Yes.  That was just `it's not fixed as of that version'.

Yes, it's annoying.  SSH to the SP says it on login, and `version' has
further details:

  -> version
  SP firmware 2.0.2.5
  SP firmware build number: 32265
  SP firmware date: Fri Apr 25 20:35:59 PDT 2008
  SP filesystem version: 0.1.14
 
Of course, you can't just do `ssh <host> version', sigh.  The web
interface has the same info.

On the other hand, ELOM says `Version 3.15' in the login banner and the
IPMI info, but this from the CLI:

  /SP -> version
  SM CLP Version v1.0.0
  SM ME Addressing Version v1.0.0
  /SP -> show -d properties AgentInfo FWVersion
 
    /SP/AgentInfo
      Properties:
          FWVersion = 3.15
 
Don't get me started on the inconsistency, and the fact that our x2200s
can't be upgraded to ILOM!
