Hello everyone,
I am being told here in Europe that system clock (yes, the actual clock)
failover between the two SC's (system controllers) in a Sunfire F4800 or
F6800 platform isn't functionnal if you have firmware revision 5.12.6
(i.e: lower than than 5.13.x) or below. It is a known issue that System
Controlleur failover will not work in 5.12.6 or below, we already that but
I'm talking about Clock failover: I.E: if you loose SC0, SC1 is supposed
to be providing the system clock (heartbeat) to all System Boards in all
domains. Also, I was told that if you loose SC0, your domains will
"crash". Can anyone confirm that? Has anyone tried pulling (or lost) an
SC0 with firmware 5.12.x from an F4800 or F6800 platform and seen what
happens? Can you share your experiences (good or bad)? I will summarize.
Thank you.

I have it in me so much nearer home
