Workaround

 

 

 

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

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.

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.

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.
