Solaris Express 5/06 Issues

The following issues apply to the Solaris Express 5/06 release.

Solaris ZFS Administration Application Not Visible in Sun Java Web Console (6410632)

After logging in to the Sun JavaTM Web Console, the Solaris ZFS Administration application is not visible in the list of console applications.

Workaround: None.

Upgrade Fails When Upgrading to the Build 37 Release (6409425)

If you are upgrading the Solaris OS to the build 37 release, the upgrade fails. This failure occurs when you upgrade with any of the Solaris installation programs, including upgrading a new boot environment with Solaris Live Upgrade. The error occurs because of a problem in the libspmisvc.so.1 library.

The following error message is displayed:


ERROR: Installation of the packages from this media of the media
   failed; pfinstall returned these diagnostics:

   Processing default locales
   - Specifying default locale (en_US.ISO8859-1)

   Space check complete.
   Building upgrade script
   Preparing system for Solaris upgrade

   ERROR: The upgrade script terminated abnormally
   sh: /sbin/install-finish: not found

Workaround:

To eliminate this problem, replace the build 37 libspmisvc.so.1 library with the build 36 library. You can find the libspmisvc.so.1 library in the following media directory:

<DVD/CD-Image>/Solaris_11/Tools/Boot/usr/snadm/lib/libspmisvc.so.1

pcie_error_init Enables Memory Access for Ranges 0x00000000-0x???????? (6401605)

On certain systems with faulty or empty PCIe bridge hardware, the Solaris OS fails to install. These “broken” bridges implement an invalid I/O space, which when accessed causes the system to hang.

Workaround: Perform the following steps:

  1. Boot using the -kvd option.

  2. At the debugger prompt, type: 


    ::bp -d -n 1 attach_drivers
       :c
       npe`pcie_error_disable_flag/W 1
       :c

Once the Solaris OS is installed, you can avoid using the workaround by adding the following variable to the /etc/system file:

set npe:pcie_error_disable_flag=1

bge Gets the checksum Wrong on IPv6 (6400907)

Starting with build 36, this error occurs if you are using IPv6 enabled on the bge with any of the following chipsets:

To find information about the broadcom chip you are using, use the following command:

ls /etc/hostname.bge*

The following systems with the bge network interface might not be able to be contacted through IPv6:

Workaround:

Add the following variable to the /etc/system file:

set ip:dohwcksum=0
