Memory Interleaving Set Incorrectly After a Fatal Reset (BugID 4156075)

Memory interleaving is left in an incorrect state when a Sun Enterprise x500 server is rebooted after a Fatal Reset. Subsequent DR operations fail. The problem only occurs on systems with memory interleaving set to min.

Workarounds: Two choices are listed below.

  1. To clear the problem after it occurs, manually reset the system at the OK prompt.

  1. To avoid the problem before it occurs, set the NVRAM memory-interleave property to max.

    This causes memory to be interleaved whenever the system is booted. However, you may find this option to be unacceptable, as a memory board containing interleaved memory cannot be dynamically unconfigured. See DR: Cannot Unconfigure a CPU/Memory Board That Has Interleaved Memory (BugID 4210234).
