Description
Workaround
The DAT72 internal tape drive on SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 servers may
time out during tape operations.
Update the Solaris /kernel/drv/st.conf file with the following lines:
tape-config-list =
tape-config-list =
"SEAGATE DAT
DAT72-000",
"SEAGATE_DAT____DAT72-000",
"SEAGATE_DAT____DAT72-000";
SEAGATE_DAT____DAT72-000=
1,0x34,0,0x9639,4,0x00,0x8c,0x8c,0x8c,3;
There are four spaces between SEAGATE DAT and DAT72-000.
The "cache-line-size" property may be different when a PCI card is cold booted compared to when
the same PCI card is hot plugged
Apply the following patch.
125100-03 or later SunOS 5.10: Kernel Update patch
Performing a hot plug operation with the PCIE slot too quickly interrupts a PCI leaf reset and fails,
creating a cfgadm(1M): Component system is busy error.
Pause a few seconds between the issue of each
cfgadm -c command.
When the panic dump is taken by 'Break-D' of ALOM, the panic message becomes 'Unrecoverable
hardware error'.
Apply the following patch.
127127-11 or later SunOS 5.10: kernel patch
If you create a Solaris Flash archive on a non-SPARC Enterprise Mx000 sun4u server and install it
on a SPARC Enterprise M8000/M9000 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 Mx000 server to reset the console's TTY flags as follows:
# sttydefs -r console
# sttydefs -a console -i "9600 hupcl opost onlcr crtscts" -f "9600"
This procedure is required only once.
This problem has been resolved by the following patch. After applying it, the workaround is no
longer needed.
137046-01 or later SunOS 5.10: Flash Archive patch
Installing the Solaris OS from the network using certain PCI-Express cards may cause a panic.
If you are using a Sun PCI-E Dual Gigabit Ethernet Adapter MMF card or a Sun PCI-E Dual
Gigabit Ethernet Adapter UTP card, do not install the Solaris OS using either of these cards.
Instead, use other network devices, such as the onboard Gigabit Ethernet or another network device.
When the serial management port of SPARC Enterprise T1000 or T2000 server is used as Solaris
OS console and a large amount of console messages are displayed, the system might panic.
Apply the following patch.
125382-01 or later SunOS 5.10: qcn driver patch
