Oracle Solaris OS Issues (CRs) and Workarounds
This section contains information about Oracle Solaris OS issues known at time of
publication. The following tables list issues you might encounter, depending in part on
which Oracle Solaris OS release you are using.
Known Issues in All Supported Oracle Solaris Releases
Known Oracle Solaris Issues and Workarounds lists Oracle Solaris OS issues that you might encounter in any Oracle
Solaris release. If your domains are not running the latest Oracle Solaris release, also
take notice of CRs fixed in releases later than yours, as noted in

The DAT72 internal tape drive
connected to M4000/M5000/ M8000/M9000 servers might time out during tape operations. The device
might also be identified by the system as a QIC drive. |
Add the following
definition to /kernel/drv/st.confs: tape-config-list= "SEAGATE DAT DAT72-000", "SEAGATE_DAT DAT72-000", "SEAGATE_DAT DAT72-000"; SEAGATE_DAT DAT72-000=1,0x34,0,0x9639,4,0x00,0x8c,0x8c 0x8c,3; There are four spaces between SEAGATE DAT and DAT72-000. |

CR 6660168
If a ubc.piowbeue-cpu error occurs on a domain, the Oracle Solaris Fault Management
cpumem-diagnosis module might fail, causing an interruption in FMA service. If this happens, you
will see output similar to the following sample in the console log:
SUNW-MSG-ID: FMD-8000-2K, TYPE: Defect, VER: 1, SEVERITY: Minor
EVENT-TIME: Fri Apr 4 21:41:57 PDT 2008
PLATFORM: SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise, CSN: 2020642002,
HOSTNAME: <hostname>
SOURCE: fmd-self-diagnosis, REV: 1.0
EVENT-ID: 6b2e15d7-aa65-6bcc-bcb1-cb03a7dd77e3
DESC: A Oracle Solaris Fault Manager component has experienced
an error that required the module to be disabled. Refer to
http://sun.com/msg/FMD-8000-2K for more information.
AUTO-RESPONSE: The module has been disabled. Events
destined for the module will be saved for manual diagnosis.
IMPACT: Automated diagnosis and response for subsequent events
associated with this module will not occur.
REC-ACTION: Use fmdump -v -u <EVENT-ID> to locate the module. Use
fmadm reset <module> to reset the module.
Workaround: If fmd service fails, issue the following command on the domain to
recover:
# svcadm clear fmd
Then restart cpumem-diagnosis:
# fmadm restart cpumem-diagnosis

The prtdiag -v command reports PCI
bus types incorrectly. It reports “PCI” for PCI-X leaf devices and “UNKN” for
legacy PCI devices. |
There is no workaround. |

|
|
o |
Scheduler decisions are occasionally unbalanced. Sometimes two threads
will be on one core (causing both to run at about half speed)
while another core is idle. For many OpenMP and similar parallel applications, the
application performance is limited by the speed of the slowest thread. Uneven scheduling is
not common, perhaps 1 in 50 or 1 in 100 decisions. But if
there are 128 threads running, then the application might have at least one
uneven schedule event. |
Use processor sets to prevent uneven threads to core assignment. |

The XSCF showdevices(8) command displays the incorrect processor cache
size for fractional processor cache sizes, such as displaying “5MB” when the correct display
would be “5.5MB.” |

processor information. |

DR and showdevices(8) don't work after XSCF reboot. |

processor twice. Half the SAs (security associations) are deleted the first time, half are
deleted the second time, so the second addition succeeds and IPsec communication is
reestablished. |

In Oracle
Solaris domains that include SPARC64 VII processors, workloads that make heavy use of
the Oracle Solaris kernel might not scale as expected when you increase the thread

The system panics
when DiskSuite cannot read the metadb during DR. This bug affects the following
cards:
SG-XPCIE2FC-QF4, 4-Gigabit PCI-e Dual-Port Fiber Channel HBA
SG-XPCIE1FC-QF4, 4-Gigabit PCI-e Single-Port Fiber Channel HBA
SG-XPCI2FC-QF4, 4-Gigabit PCI-X Dual-Port Fiber Channel HBA

hang if you are adding a Sun StorageTek Enterprise Class 4-Gigabit Dual-Port Fiber
Channel PCI-E HBA card (SG-XPCIE2FC-QF4) at the same time that an SAP process
is attempting to access storage devices attached to this card. The chance of
a system hang is increased if the following cards are used for heavy
network traffic:
X4447A-Z, PCI-e Quad-port Gigabit Ethernet Adapter UTP

Avoid performing DR
operations if any of the following conditions exist:
Degraded memory – To determine whether the system contains degraded memory, use the XSCF command showstatus(8).
Differing memory sizes – To determine whether the domain contains system boards with different memory sizes, display the list of memory sizes using the XSCF command showdevices(8) or the Oracle Solaris command prtdiag(1M) on the domain. If a DR command hangs, reboot the domain to recover.

For Oracle Solaris domains that
include SPARC64 VII processors, a single domain of 256 threads or more might hang
for an extended period of time under certain unusual situations. Upon recovery, the
uptime command will show extremely high load averages. |
For Oracle Solaris domains that
include SPARC64 VII processors, do not exceed a domain size of 256 virtual processors
in a single Oracle Solaris domain. This means a maximum of 32 CPUs
in a single domain configuration (maximum configuration for an M8000 server). |

The “ cpumem-diagnosis” module might fail to load after uncorrectable error (UE) panic. Systems
will function correctly, but events normally automatically diagnosed by FMA using this module will
require manual diagnosis. Example: SUNW-MSG-ID: FMD-8000-2K, TYPE: Defect, VER: 1, SEVERITY: Minor EVENT-TIME: Thu Feb 15 15:46:57 JST 2007 PLATFORM: SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise, CSN: BE80601007, HOSTNAME: col2-ffem7-d0 |
If the problem has already occurred:
Remove the cpumemdiagnosis file # rm /var/fm/fmd/ckpt\ /cpumemdiagnosis/\
cpumem-diagnosis
Restart fmd service: # svcadm restart fmd
To
avoid this problem in advance, add the following line in the file: /lib/svc/method/svc-dumpadm: # savedev=none
rm -f /var/fm/fmd/ckpt/cpumemdiagnosis /cpumem-diagnosis # |

The use of a PCIe Dual-Port Ultra320 SCSI controller card (SG-(X)PCIE2SCSIU320Z) in IOU
Slot 1 on a SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000 server might result in a system
panic. |
Do not use this card in IOU Slot 1. |

Unexpected message is displayed on console and CPU
isn't offlined when numerous correctable errors (CEs) occur. Example: SUNW-MSG-ID: FMD-8000-11, TYPE: Defect, VER: 1, SEVERITY: Minor EVENT-TIME: Fri Feb 2 18:31:07 JST 2007, PLATFORM: SPARC-Enterprise, CSN: BE80601035, HOSTNAME: FF2-35-0 |

Unexpected

If
you see unexpected messages, use the showdomainstatus(8) command to check system status on
XSCF. |

A large number of spurious PCIe correctable errors can be recorded in the
FMA error log. |
To mask these errors, add the following entry to /etc/system
and reboot the system: set pcie:pcie_aer_ce_mask = 0x2001 |

A domain might panic when an additional PCI-X card is
installed or a PCI-X card is replaced using PCI hot-plug. |
Do not insert
a different type of PCI-X card in the same PCI slot by using
PCI hot-plug. |

When using the PCIe Dual-Port Ultra320 SCSI controller card (SG-(X)PCIE2SCSIU320Z), a PCIe
correctable error causes a Oracle Solaris panic. |
Add the following entry to /etc/system to prevent
the problem: set pcie:pcie_aer_ce_mask = 0x31c1 |

When a domain reboots, SCF might not be able to service other
domains that share the same physical board. DR operation can exceed the default
timeout period and panic can occur. |
Increase the DR timeout period by setting the following
statement in /etc/system and reboot your system: set drmach:fmem_timeout = 30 |
