When installing Solaris 10 10/09, the system panics if it has a large memory size (approximately 768 GB or larger)
For example:
panic[cpu0]/thread=fffffffffbc288a0: mutex_enter: bad mutex, lp=18 owner=f00006f7f0000748 thread=fffffffffbc288a0 >> warning! 8-byte aligned %fp = fffffffffbc315b8 fffffffffbc315b8 unix:mutex_panic+6f () >> warning! 8-byte aligned %fp = fffffffffbc31618 fffffffffbc31618 unix:mutex_vector_enter+1f6 () ...
Workaround 1
Upgrade to Solaris 10 9/10 or newer.
Workaround 2
Download patch 142901–09 or higher.
Reduce the system memory to 512 GB.
We suggest you remove CMODs 3 and 4. You can use other techniques if desired.
For details, refer to Adding, Removing, and Installing a CMOD (CRU) in Sun Fire X4800 Server Service Manual.
Install the operating system.
This is not necessary if your system already has an operating system installed.
Install patch 142901–09 or higher.
Replace the memory.
If you removed the CMODs, for details, refer to Adding, Removing, and Installing a CMOD (CRU) in Sun Fire X4800 Server Service Manual.
