Affected Hardware and Software: Oracle 6.4 TB NVMe SSD v2 storage drives with VDV1RL04 firmware on supported SPARC T7, S7, and T8 series servers. See Supported Servers and Operating Systems.
Workaround: Do not use probe-nvme-all at OBP to query drive information on SPARC servers with system firmware release 3.0.1 or earlier. Use nvmeadm commands in Solaris to query drive information.
Fix: Update SPARC servers to system firmware release 9.9.3 or later.
