Seems to work fine on my X4100 M2 machines :-) Starts up, reports status correctly, resets etc. Btw., Sun has confirmed it's a bug that the state flag does not change. The 2nd level support has requested a firmware update for the ILOM, but it's not yet clear if it will be granted. Thanks a lot for the patch, now I can safely deploy the watchdog on all our servers :-) cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform. Frank Steiner Web: http://www.bio.ifi.lmu.de/~steiner/ Lehrstuhl f.
