CR ID Description Workaround
5076574 A PCIe error can lead to an invalid fault
diagnosis on a large M9000/M8000 domain.
Create a file /etc/fm/fmd/fmd.conf
containing the following lines;
setprop client. buflim 40m
setprop client. memlim 40m
6303418 A SPARC Enterprise M9000 server with a
single domain and 11 or more fully populated
system boards might hang under heavy stress.
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.
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
There is no workaround.
Check for the patch 126670-10 for this defect.
6416224 System performance can degrade using a
single NIC card with more than 5,000
