Server Module Might Panic During Hot-Plugging
of the 10GbE Dual Port SFP+ ExpressModule
(CR 6974235)
Initiating hot-plug removal of a 10GbE Dual Port SFP+ ExpressModule connected to
the server module by using the ExpressModule ATTN button might cause the Oracle
Solaris OS that is running on the server module to panic.
You can safely use the ATTN button to hot-plug insert the same Express Module into
a slot that connects to the server module.
Workaround: Do not use the PCIe EM ATTN button for hot plug removal. Instead,
use the Oracle Solaris cfgadm(1M)command to hot-plug remove a 10GbE Dual Port
SFP+ Express Module connected to the server module.
For example, to hot-plug remove an express module in slot PCI-EM1 using cfgadm,
perform the following commands in the Oracle Solaris instance connected to the
ExpressModule:
# cfgadm -c unconfigure PCI-EM1
# cfgadm -c disconnect
Replace Faulty DIMMs With Uncorrectable Errors
as Soon as Possible (CR 6996144)
This issue is fixed in the Oracle Solaris 10 8/11 OS.
If a DIMM has an uncorrectable error (UE), the server will generate a
fault.memory.bank error that labels a DIMM as faulty. You can view this error
using the Oracle ILOM show faulty command or using the fmdump -v command.
If a DIMM contains a persistent UE (an error that continually occurs even after
multiple reboots), replace this DIMM as soon as possible to avoid any server
downtime.
Workaround: Replace faulty DIMMs as soon as possible.
