Description

Workaround

 

 

 

6466617 Performing a hot plug operation with the PCI- Express slot too quickly interrupts a PCI leaf reset and fails, creating a cfgadm: Component system is busy error.

6472153 If you create a Solaris Flash archive on a non- SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000 sun4u server and install it on a SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000 sun4u server, the console's TTY flags will not be set correctly. This can cause the console to lose characters during stress.

6481002 Installing the Solaris from the network using certain PCI-Express cards may cause a panic.

Pause a few seconds between the issue of each cfgadm -ccommand.

Just after installing Solaris OS from a Solaris Flash archive, telnet into the SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000 server to reset the console's TTY flags a follows:

#sttydefs -r console

#sttydefs -a console -i "9600 hupcl opost onlcr crtscts" -f "9600"

This procedure is required only once.

If you are using a Sun PCI-E Dual Gigabit Ethernet Adapter MMF card or a Sun PCI-E Dual Gigabit Ethernet Adapter UTP card, do not install the Solaris using either of these cards. Instead, use other network devices, such as the onboard Gigabit Ethernet or another network device.

6485555 On the SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000 servers, On-board Gigabit Ethernet NVRAM corruption could occur due to a race condition. The window of opportunity for this race condition is very small.

6495303 The use of a PCIe Dual-Port Ultra320 SCSI controller card (SG-(X)PCIE2SCSIU320Z) in IOU Slot 1 on a SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000 server may result in a system panic.

None available at this time.

This bug has been fixed in Solaris 10 8/07.

Do not use this card in IOU Slot 1 on a SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000 server.

This bug has been fixed in Solaris 10 8/07.
