During the transmission using the GLDv3
(Generic LAN Driver version 3) compliant
Ethernet driver, if you execute the

ifconfig

command with the modlist
(modinsert/modremove) option, the software
ring procedure of GLDv3 module could cause a
deadlock.

Note - Fixed in Solaris patch ID 127127-11 or
later.

Add the following entry to the

/etc/system

file and reboot the system.

set ip:ip_soft_rings_cnt=0

6555956

Servers might experience panics generated from
the PCIe root complex.
A panic could occur during reboot with the
following message:

"Fatal error has occurred in: PCIe root

complex."

The panic only occurs during a reboot and has
never been observed during a reboot that
follows the panic. The panic can occur even if no
external USB devices are connected to the server.

Note - This issue is resolved for servers
running the Solaris 10 5/08 OS or later.

If your server experiences this panic, perform
the workarounds described in

“Servers Might

Experience Panics Generated From the PCIe
Root Complex (CR 6555956)” on page 120

If you are not running the Solaris 10 10/08 OS,
this issue is also resolved by installing patch ID
128304-03 or later.

The

prtdiag

command output may be incorrect

• Information of memory is displayed as left

aligned.

• Though the CPU threads have been

disabled

, the

FRU Status

shows "

All

FRUs are enabled

• Information of a FAN replaced by hot

swapping is not displayed.

• Some of the memory configuration

information is not displayed.

Note - Fixed in Solaris patch ID 127127-11 or
later.

None.

6572985

During long SunVTS test runs, the SunVTS

cryptotest

could fail intermittently with an

error similar to the following:

"cryptotest.FATAL n2rng0:

SUNW_RANDOM generate failed:

values generated fall outside

statistical tolerance"

Note - Fixed in Solaris patch ID 139667-01 or
later.

Install the SunVTS Patch number 127294-01 (or
later).

6578410

The server might hang when trying to boot with
an Infiniband HBA card installed.

Note - Fixed in the Solaris 10 5/08 OS (and
later) and in the Solaris 10 8/07 OS with patch
ID 127127-11 or later installed.

Add the following setting to the

/etc/system

file:

set tavor:tavor_iommu_bypass = 0

You can also upgrade the OS or install the patch
to avoid encountering this issue.
