When an unexpected power failure occurs on your Sun system, the following message might appear:

ERROR, There are no cards specified in the Master.ini file please run sunpcload again using the following commands:
cd /opt/SUNWspci3/drivers/solaris

To fix this issue,
Note – When this issue occurs, the LED indicator on the SunPCi III main card backplate is not lit.
Colormap Flashing With IDEAS Software
If you run the IDEAS software package at the same time as SunPCi software, you might experience colormap interactions which make the IDEAS menus unreadable.
To avoid this problem on an X11 display which supports both 8 and 24 bit depths, set the environment variable to NO8BIT.
Issues With Mixing Existing SunPCi Emulated Drives and New Cards
Depending on the date and type of your SunPCi III card and when you created your emulated drive, you might have two different issues arise when you replace a SunPCi card and use an existing emulated drive.
If you create an emulated drive on one SunPCi card and run it on a different card, you might encounter one of the following issues.
■A warning from SunPCi that the MAC address has changed. This message informs you that the configuration of the card used to create the emulated drive might differ from the configuration of the card currently in use.
