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 M4000/M5000 servers to panic or hang.

6564934 Performing a DR deleteboard operation on a board which includes Permanent Memory when using the following network cards will result 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

6568417 After a successful CPU DR deleteboard operation, the system panics when the following network interfaces are in use:

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

These messages can be safely ignored.

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

Version1.0 of the SCA6000 driver does not support hot-plug and should not be attempted. Version1.1 of the SCA6000 driver and firmware will support hot-plug operations after the required bootstrap firmware upgrade has been performed.

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

Add the following line to /etc/system and reboot the system:

set ip:ip_soft_rings_cnt=0

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

6571370 Use of the following cards have been observed to cause data corruption in stress test under laboratory conditions:

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

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

Add the following line in /etc/system and reboot:

set nxge:nxge_rx_threshold_hi=0
