The Oracle Solaris OS now recognizes the model corresponding to Advanced Micro Devices Istanbul. With FMA support for Istanbul, the Generic AMD FM topology has been enabled for Model 8 of AMD Family 0x10. All features relating to FMA's error reporting and diagnosis that are available for the earlier Family 0x10 CPUs accommodates the Istanbul CPUs.
The Oracle Solaris FMA software has been updated to support the memory errors of the DDR2 DIMMs of the Oracle Netra CP3250 blade server.

The Oracle Solaris OS and FMA diagnosis rules have been updated to generate e–reports of the memory errors of DDR2 DIMMs. The topology has been updated to generate the memory configuration and the rules diagnose memory e–reports.
