Dvd Drives And Cfgadm; Sun Crypto Accelerator 6000 Cards; U320 Pcie Scsi Card - Sun Microsystems SPARC Enterprise M8000 Product Notes

DVD Drives and cfgadm

The Solaris cfgadm(1M) command does not always unconfigure a DVD drive from a
domain on SPARC Enterprise M8000/M9000 servers.
Disable the Volume Management Daemon (vold) before unconfiguring a DVD drive
with the cfgadm(1M) command. To disable vold, stop the daemon by issuing the
command /etc/init.d/volmgt stop. After the device has been removed or
inserted, restart the daemon by issuing the command /etc/init.d/volmgt
start.

Sun Crypto Accelerator 6000 Cards

If you are not using the correct version of the Sun Crypto Accelerator (SCA) 6000
card driver, hot-plug operations on SCA 6000 cards can cause SPARC Enterprise
M8000/M9000 servers to panic or hang. Version 1.1 of the SCA6000 driver and
firmware supports hot-plug operations after the required bootstrap firmware
upgrade has been performed. Version 1.0 of the SCA6000 driver does not support
hot-plug and should not be used.
