Workaround

 

 

 

6556742 The system panics when DiskSuite can not read the metadb during DR. This bug affects the following cards:

•SG-XPCIE2FC-QF4, 4Gb PCI-e Dual-Port Fibre Channel HBA

•SG-XPCIE1FC-QF4, 4Gb PCI-e Single-Port Fibre Channel HBA

•SG-XPCI2FC-QF4, 4Gb PCI-X Dual-Port Fibre Channel HBA

•SG-XPCI1FC-QF4, 4Gb PCI-X Single-Port Fibre Channel HBA

6559504 Messages of the form nxge: NOTICE: nxge_ipp_eccue_valid_check: rd_ptr = nnn wr_ptr = nnn will be observed on the console with 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

6563785 Hot-plug operation with the following cards might fail if a card is disconnected and then immediately reconnected:

•SG-XPCIE2SCSIU320Z Sun StorageTek PCI- E Dual-Port Ultra320 SCSI HBA

•SGXPCI2SCSILM320-Z Sun StorageTek PCI Dual-Port Ultra320 SCSI HBA

6564332 Hot-plug operations on Sun Crypto Accelerator (SCA)6000 cards can cause SPARC Enterprise M8000/M9000 servers to panic or hang.

6564934 Performing a DR deleteboard(8) operation on a board which includes Permanent Memory when using the following network cards results in broken connections:

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

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

Panic can be avoided when a duplicated copy of the metadb is accessible via another Host Bus Adaptor.

Check for the patch 125166-06 for this detect.

These messages can be safely ignored.

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

After disconnecting a card, wait for a few seconds before re-connecting.

Check for the patch 127750-01 for this detect.

Version 1.0 of the SCA6000 driver does not support hot-plug and should not be attempted.

Version 1.1 of the SCA6000 driver and firmware supports hot-plug operations after the required bootstrap firmware upgrade has been performed.

Note: See CR ID 6619344 for issues with hotplug of Sun Crypto Accelerator (SCA) 6000 cards in slot-1.

Re-configure the affected network interfaces after the completion of the DR operation. For basic network configuration procedures, refer to the ifconfig man page for more information.

Check for the patch 127741-01 for this detect.
