Solaris OS-Specific Issues

The following known issues are related to installing, configuring, or operating the NEM with the Solaris 10 OS.

Out of Option ROM Memory Error in System

BIOS

Problem: A fully populated Sun Blade 8000 chassis with at least one NEM installed, could cause the Out of Option ROM Memory Space error to occur during BIOS POST.

Workaround: Disable some of the slots in the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) using the BIOS Setup utility. For information about disabling Option ROM, see BIOS Option ROMs in the Sun Blade 8000 Series Online Information System.

For information about how to boot from a FC storage device connected to the NEM, see Appendix A in the Sun Blade 8000 Series Installation Guide.

Problem: The HBA driver distributed with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 Service Pack 3 (SLES9-SP3) has the following known problems:

■The HBA driver does not recognize the NEM device and will prevent it from loading.

■A system panic occurs when the HBA driver is unloaded.

Workaround: To resolve these problems, update to the Emulex driver version 8.0.16.27 as described in “To Update the Driver” on page 22.
