In rare cases, PCIe Gen2 devices in the server module might report I/O errors that are identified and reported by predictive self-healing (PSH). For example:

This may degrade into an unrecoverable fault. Refer to http://sun.com/msg/PCIEX-8000-KP for more information. Response : One or more device instances may be disabled Impact : Loss of services provided by the device instances associated with this fault Action : If a plug-in card is involved check for badly-seated cards or bent pins. Otherwise schedule a repair procedure to replace the affected device. Use fmadm faulty to identify the device or contact Sun for support.
These errors might be an indication of a faulty or incorrectly seated PCI EM. Or these errors might be erroneous.
Workaround: Ensure that the PCI EM is properly seated and functioning. If the errors continue, apply the Oracle Solaris 10 8/11 OS patch 147705-01 (or higher).
