efibootmgr Utility Issues

When using the efibootmgr utility, you should be aware of the following issues:
• It is possible to create entries to nonexistent boot loaders.
• The EFI interface menu is does not accurately indicate the Active/Inactive flag for the
boot entries.
• The labels of the boot entries are not updated.

SSTK Image Does Not Boot and LSI Driver Loops

The LSI controller driver does not respond to hardware failures correctly. The SSTK image does
not boot and the LSI driver remains in a loop displaying messages similar to the following:
target5:0:8: Domain Validation detected failure, dropping back
target2:0:0: Domain Validation detected failure, dropping back
target2:0:0: Domain Validation detected failure, dropping back
target5:0:8: Domain Validation detected failure, dropping back
This is an issue with the SCSI MPT-Fusion controller driver that is produced by an improper or
defective device. The issue was observed on a LSI1030 that had an Ultra160 disk device improperly
configured to at an Ultra320 speed.
The problem was corrected by using the EFI driver configuration tool to set the maximum transfer
rate to 160Mb/s, which is the speed that the device operates properly .
