Workaround

 

 

 

6539909 Do not use the following I/O cards for network access when you are using the boot net install command to install the Solaris

OS:

•X4447A-Z/X4447A-Z, PCIe Quad-port Gigabit Ethernet Adapter UTP

•X1027A-Z/X1027A-Z, PCIe Dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet Fiber XFP

6542632 Memory leak in PCIe module if driver attach fails.

6545143 When kcage daemon is expanding the kcage area, if the user stack exists in the expanded area, its area is demapped and might cause a ptl_1 panic during the flushw handler execution.

6545685 If the following message displayed on the OS console, memory degradation or XSB deconfiguration may occur in the subsequent reboot.

When running Solaris 10 11/06, use an alternate type of network card or onboard network device to install the Solaris OS via the network.

There is no workaround.

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

There is no workaround. Check for the availability of a patch for this defect.

Add the following to /etc/system and then reboot the domain:

set mc-opl: mc_max_rewrite_loop = 20000

Example:

mc-opl: WARNING: mc-opl rewrite timeout on /LSB0/B0

6546188 The system panics when running hotplug (cfgadm(1M)) and DR operations (addboard(8) and deleteboard(8)) on the following cards:

•X4447A-Z, PCI-e Quad-port Gigabit Ethernet Adapter UTP

•X1027A-Z1, PCI-e Dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet Fiber XFP Low profile Adapter

6551356 The system panics when running hotplug (cfgadm(1M)) to configure a previously unconfigured card. The message "WARNING: PCI Expansion ROM is not accessible" will be seen on the console shortly before the system panic. The following cards are affected by this defect:

•X4447A-Z, PCI-e Quad-port Gigabit Ethernet Adapter UTP

•X1027A-Z1, PCI-e Dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet Fiber XFP Low profile Adapter

There is no workaround.

For Solaris 10 8/07, check for the patch 127741- 01 for this defect.

For Solaris 10 11/06, check for the patch 125670-04 for this defect.

Note: See CR ID 6608404 regarding issues with hot-plug of these cards in slot 1.

Perform cfgadm -c disconnect to completely remove the card. After waiting at least 10 seconds, the card may be configured back into the domain using the cfgadm -c configure command.

Check for the patch 127741-01 for this defect.
