5076574 A PCIe error can lead to an invalid fault diagnosis on a large M9000/M8000 domain.

6303418 A SPARC Enterprise M9000 server with a single domain and 11 or more fully populated system boards might hang under heavy stress.

6348554 Using the cfgadm -c disconnect command on the following cards might hang the command during i_mdi_pi_offline:

•SG-XPCIE2FC-QF4 Sun StorageTek Enterprise Class 4Gb Dual-Port Fibre Channel PCI-E HBA

•SG-XPCIE1FC-QF4 Sun StorageTek Enterprise Class 4Gb Single-Port Fibre Channel PCI-E HBA

•SG-XPCI2FC-QF4 Sun StorageTek Enterprise Class 4Gb Dual-Port Fibre Channel PCI-X HBA

•SG-XPCI1FC-QF4 Sun StorageTek Enterprise Class 4Gb Single-Port Fibre Channel PCI-X HBA

6416224 System performance can degrade using a single NIC card with more than 5,000 connections.

6440061 The domain console may display this message: ipsec_check_inbound_policy: Policy Failure for the incoming packet (not secure)

6441349 The system may hang if there is an I/O error in the system.

Create a file /etc/fm/fmd/fmd.conf

containing the following lines;

setprop client. buflim 40m

setprop client. memlim 40m

Do not exceed 170 CPU strands.

Limit the number of CPU strands to one per CPU core by using the Solaris psradm command to disable the excess CPU strands. For example, disable all odd-numbered CPU strands.

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

There is no workaround.

Check for the patch 126670-10 for this defect.

Use multiple NIC cards to split network connections.
