Blade With Solaris 10 8/11 Fails to Bring Up a Supported NEM After Hot Insertion (7121662)

Oracle Solaris 10 8/11 might not initialize and recognize a Sun Netra 6000 Virtualized Multi-Fabric 10GbE Network Express Module M2 NEM when it is hot-plugged. This can happen if the BIOS was not configured to allocate 32 MB of Memory Mapped IO (MMIO) and if a module was not installed in the slot when the OS booted.

If this situation occurs, you might see a message similar to the following in /var/adm/messages:

WARNING: (pcieb9): failed to probe the Connection Slot4

If you intend to hot-plug one or more Sun Netra 6000 Virtualized Multi-Fabric 10GbE Network Express Module M2s into a Sun Netra 6000 M2 Chassis containing an Oracle Netra Blade X3-2B running Oracle Solaris 10 8/11 OS, first allocate 32MB of MMIO for each device using the BIOS Setup program before booting. Perform the following workaround:


Note - This is only necessary if the NEM is not present when the operating system is booted.


  1. Shut down the affected blade.
  2. Reboot the server and enter the BIOS Setup Utility.
  3. Allocate 32 MB of MMIO by changing the BIOS menu option MMIO 32–bit Resource Padding from 16M to 32M.

  4. Reboot the server.
