Workaround

 

 

 

6542632 Memory leak in PCIe module if driver attach fails.

6545685 If the system has detected Correctable Memory Errors (CE) at power-on self-test (POST), the domains might incorrectly degrade 4 or 8 DIMMs.

6546188 The system panics when running hotplug (cfgadm) and DR operations (addboard and deleteboard) 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) 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

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

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

Increase the memory patrol timeout values used via the following setting in

/etc/system:

set mc-opl:mc_max_rewrite_loop = 20000

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

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.

Panic can be avoided when a duplicated copy of the metadb is accessible via another Host Bus Adaptor. Or you can apply patch 125166- 06.
