The domain console might display a Mailbox timeout or IOCB interrupt timeout error during boot.

Issue a reset-all command from the OBP (OK) prompt and reboot.

6488846

During boot, the domain console might display a checksum error for the SG(X)PCI2SCSIU320-Z SCSI controller I/O card.

Check for the availability of the latest controller card firmware.

On the Sun SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000 servers, the OpenBoot PROM (OBP) might not detect the on-board disk (HDD) boot device. Performing a boot disk results in a console message:

Can't locate boot device

The PCI or PCI-X plug-in adapter card might not be seated correctly. Reseat the card in slot 0 of the IOU.

Domain console connection does not cancel shell when disconnected.

Always log out of the Solaris (OS) before exiting the console connection.

If you accidentally disconnect the domain console without logging out:

• Log in again to the domain console
• Log out
• Exit the console connection

6519877

All domains must be powered off before upgrading the XCP firmware.

Power off domains before using the flashupdate command to upgrade XCP firmware.

6521896

If you log in to the XSCF Unit while it is still booting, you may get a bash$ prompt instead of the XSCF> prompt, and be unable to perform most operations.

Log out of the bash$ prompt and wait for the XSCF Unit to finish booting.

6529635

The showdomainstatus -a command shows domain status as Powered Off, but the showboards -a command shows the domain is testing.

Use the showboards command to check the status of system power.

The showdomainstatus command takes a longer time to show the correct status.

6532036

Some commands that update configuration data take a relatively long time to execute.

Do not cancel set* commands. They appear to hang, but eventually complete in about 30 seconds.

6533158

The fault (memory.block.ue) is reported every 10 hours. The error isencountered and reported periodically

An uncorrectable error exists in a DIMM and the DIMM should be replaced.

6537025

If the XSCF Unit reboots unexpectedly three times in a row without staying up for at least one hour, the XSCF Unit will no longer boot and must be replaced.

If user action causes the XSCF Unit to reboot, do not repeat the operation to see if it happens again. Allow the XSCF Unit to remain up for at least one hour or, if necessary, use the rebootxscf command to cause a clean reboot before retrying a failed operation.

6537345

When using the XSCF Web to import a firmware image, if the image is corrupted (for example, if the browser window is closed during import), the flashupdate command might later report an internal error. CR ID 6537996 is similar.

Use the command getflashimage -d to delete the corrupted image. If necessary, reboot the XSCF Unit, then use the flashupdate command again to clear the internal error.

6537408

Attempting to move a COD board using the moveboard command might fail.

Use the deleteboard and addboard commands instead of the moveboard command.

6538022

The XSCF firmware monitors itself and if it detects any inconsistencies, it forces a reboot.

There is no workaround. Allow the XSCF Unit to finish rebooting. It will return to normal operation within approximately five minutes.

6538564

Using the rebootxscf command might result in a process down error, and possibly an FMA event with MSG ID SCF-8005-NE

There is no workaround. Check for the availability of a patch for this defect.

6543260

The showaudit all command shows a long list of defaults in the policy section after the database is cleared.

To clear the non-existent user default settings, run the following commands:

setaudit -a opl=enable

setaudit -a opl=default

6459540

The DAT72 internal tape drive can time out during tape operations.

The device might also be identified by the system as a QIC drive.

Also causes device to be used as QIC vs. DAT"

Update the Solaris /kernel/drv/st.conf file with the following lines:

tape-config-list = "QUANTUM DAT DAT72-00", "QUANTUM DAT DAT72-00", "CFGQUANTUMDATDAT7200", "SEAGATE DAT DAT72-00", "SEAGATE DAT DAT72-00", "CFGSEAGATEDAT7200";

CFGQUANTUMDATDAT7200 = 2,0x34,0,0x18619,4,0x47,0x47,0x47,0x47,3,0,600,600,600,600,600,10800;

CFGSEAGATEDAT7200 = 2,0x34,0,0x18619,4,0x47,0x47,0x47,0x47,3,0,600,600,600,600,600,10800;

If you create a Solaris install image or boot image on a non-SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000 sun4u server and use it on a SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000 sun4u server, the console's TTY flags will not be set correctly. This can cause the console to lose characters during stress.

Telnet into the SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000 server to reset the console's TTY flags as follows:

# sttydefs -r console
# sttydefs -a console -i "9600 hupcl opost onlcr crtscts" -f "9600"

6485555

On-board Gigabit Ethernet NVRAM corruption could occur due to a race condition. The window of opportunity for this race condition is very small.

If the NVRAM is corrupted, the device is not recognized as a network device. Contact your service representative to replace the FRU.

6495303

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 may result in a system panic.

Do not use this card in IOU Slot 1 on a SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000 server.

6498283

Using the DR deleteboard command while psradm operations are running on a domain might cause a system panic.

There is no workaround. Check for the availability of a patch for this defect.

6505921

Correctable error on the system bus controller generates an invalid fault.

Create a file /etc/fm/fmd/fmd.conf containing the following lines;

setprop client.buflim 40m

setprop client.memlim 40m

6508432

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 the /etc/system file and then reboot the system:

set pcie:pcie_aer_ce_mask=0x31c1

6510861

When using the PCIe Dual-Port Ultra320 SCSI controller card (SG-(X)PCIE2SCSIU320Z), a PCIe correctable error causes a Solaris panic.

To mask these errors, add the following entry to the /etc/system file and then reboot the system:

set pcie:pcie_aer_ce_mask=0x31c1

6522017

Domains using the ZFS file system cannot use DR.

There is no workaround.

6530178

DR addboard command can hang. Once problem is observed, further DR operations are blocked. Recovery requires reboot of the domain.

There is no workaround. Check for the availability of a patch for this defect.

6531036

The error message network initialization failed can appear repeatedly after boot net installation.

There is no workaround. Check for the availability of a patch for this defect.

6534471

Systems may panic/trap during normal operation.

• Make sure you have the correct /etc/system parameter:
  set heaplp_use_stlb=0
• If a change to the parameter does not correct in the problem, check for the availability of a patch for this defect.

6536564

Faults in I/O devices might not be diagnosed correctly by the Solaris Fault Management Architecture and result in a defect.eft.undiagnosable_problem, or might be diagnosed as fault.io.* but identify the wrong IOU.

If Solaris panics and reboots due to an I/O fault, use fmdump -eV to view the error report. The device path in the error report will indicate where the error was detected, which will help to isolate the I/O fault.

6539084

PCIe Quad-port Gigabit Ethernet Adapter UTP card might panic during a reboot.

There is no workaround. Check for the availability of a patch for this defect.

6539909

Do not use the following I/O cards for network access when you are using the boot net install command to install the Solaris OS:

• 4447A-Z/X4447A-Z, PCIe Quad-port Gigabit Ethernet Adapter UTP
• 1027A-Z/X1027A-Z, PCIe Dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet Fiber XFP

Use an alternate type of network card or onboard network device to install the Solaris OS via the network.

6542632

Memory leak in PCIe module if driver attach fails.

There is no workaround. Check for the availability of a patch for this defect.

6545685

If the system has detected Correctible Memory Errors (CE) at power-on self-test (POST), the domains might incorrectly degrade 4 or 8 DIMMs.

Increase the memory patrol timeout values used via the following setting in /etc/system:

set mc-opl:mc_max_rewrite_loop = 10000
