Solaris OS Issues and Workarounds Fixed in Solaris 10 10/09
TABLE 3-3
CR ID Description
6572827 The prtdiag -v command reports PCI bus
types incorrectly. It reports "PCI" for PCI-X
leaf devices and "UNKN" for legacy PCI
devices.
6724307 Scheduler decisions are occasionally
unbalanced.
Sometimes two threads will be on one core
(causing both to run at about half speed) while
another core is idle. For many OpenMP and
similar parallel applications, the application
performance is limited by the speed of the
slowest thread.
Uneven scheduling is not common, perhaps 1
in 50 or 1 in 100 decisions. But if there are 128
threads running, then the application might
have at least one uneven schedule event.
6800734 deleteboard hang in a domain
6821108 DR and "showdevices" do not work after XSCF
reboot.
6827340 DR and Memory patrol may fail due to SCF
command error.

Workaround
Disable probe-based failure detection. See
InfoDoc 211105 (86869).
Workaround
There is no workaround.
Use processor sets to prevent uneven threads to
core assignment.
There is no workaround.
Reboot the XSCF service processor twice. Half
the SAs are deleted the first time and half are
deleted the second time, so the second addition
succeeds and IPsec communication is
reestablished.
There is no workaround.
