Notes On A Case Where Openssl Is Used - Fujitsu M10 Product Notes

following: Uninstall Oracle VM Server for SPARC from the system disk prior to
switching. After the switch is completed, reinstall Oracle VM Server for SPARC on
the system disk.
Suppose that you add a system board using dynamic reconfiguration of physical
■
partitions in the condition where the domain configuration has been recovered in
the degraded configuration. The added resource is not allocated automatically to
any logical domain. Allocate the added resource manually. Alternatively, execute
the ldm set-spconfig command to select the original domain configuration and
then reboot the physical partition using the poweron(8) and poweroff(8) commands.
Suppose that you delete a system board (PSB) using the deleteboard(8) command
■
where the version of Oracle VM Server for SPARC is earlier than 3.2 while the
physical partition (PPAR) is powered on after the domain configuration is
recovered in the degraded configuration. This deleteboard(8) command may fail.
After a domain configuration is recovered in the degraded configuration, do not
delete a system board using dynamic reconfiguration of physical partitions.
Suppose the firmware is updated to XCP 2230 or later and the recovery mode
■
supported in Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.1.1.1 or later is enabled. If the
physical partition is started with the logical domain configuration information
created with XCP 2221 or earlier after those operations, the following message
may be output to the console of the physical partition.
warning: Configuration 'xxxx' could not be imported from the
system controller.
This is because the recovery mode of the logical domain configuration information
created with XCP 2221 or earlier is not enabled. Execute the ldm add-spconfig
command of Oracle VM for SPARC on the control domain and save the logical
domain configuration information.

Notes on a case where openssl is used

Oracle Solaris provides accelerated cryptographic libraries for SPARC M10 systems.
These libraries can be used by using the PKCS11 engine of OpenSSL. See man pages
openssl(5), engine(3openssl), and evp(3openssl), or the following OpenSSL documents:
http://www.openssl.org/docs/crypto/engine.html
http://www.openssl.org/docs/crypto/evp.html
Please note:
The PKCS11 engine is the only way in OpenSSL to obtain the acceleration of
■
cryptographic functions from the encryption arithmetic unit of the SPARC64 X
processor.
The implementation of PKCS11 engine for OpenSSL in Oracle Solaris requires the
■
enabling of EVP model for digest and encryption methods supported by engine.
- The following digest methods have been optimized for the SPARC64 X
processor:
