Booting the Solaris OS From an External USB
DVD-ROM Drive Could Cause a Panic (CR
6588452)
This issue is resolved for servers running the Solaris 10 5/08 OS and later. If you are
running Solaris 10 8/07, you can fix this issue with patch ID 127127-11 or later.
Booting the Solaris 10 OS from an external USB DVD-ROM drive could panic the
server and fail to boot the OS. This situation happens because the Solaris OS names
the device storage@1, and the System Firmware names the device cdrom@1.
Both the OpenBoot firmware and Solaris OS follow the 1275 USB bindings rules to
name nodes. For example:
TABLE :
bInterface Class
0x08
0x08
0x08
0x08
