Problems and Their Workarounds for All Versions of the PCI Expansion Unit Firmware
Problems and Their Workarounds for All Versions of the PCI Expansion Unit Firmware
The following table shows problems that might occur in any versions of Oracle Solaris being supported and workarounds for them.
| RTI No. | RTIF2-190906-001 |
| Model | SPARC M12-1, SPARC M12-2, SPARC M12-2S |
| Description | When maintenance on the power supply unit of the PCI expansion unit is performed with the ioxadm command in the XSCF shell, the error log may show an incorrectly registered power failure/recovery. Msg: AC FAIL Msg: PSU RECOVERY |
| Workaround | There is no effective workaround. Ignore this error log as it has no effect on the maintenance work. |
| RTI No. | RTIF2-130703-001 |
| Model | SPARC M12-2, SPARC M12-2S |
| Description | When installing a PCI expansion unit by PCI hot plug (PHP), among PCI expansion unit slots 6, 7, 10 and 11, those without HBA will have the command execution result "disconnected" instead of "empty" for the Oracle Solaris cfgadm(1M) command. Although the display is not appropriate, the slots work normally if you mount HBA. This phenomenon does not occur if you restart the logical domain after connecting the PCI expansion unit. |
| Workaround | This is just a display problem and does not affect operation. |
| RTI No. | RTIF2-130703-002 |
| Model | SPARC M12-2, SPARC M12-2S |
| Description | When you install a PCI expansion unit with PCI hot plug (PHP), there may be lane degradation. |
| Workaround | When using PHP, execute cfgadm -c configure instead of cfgadm -c connect. |
| RTI No. | RTIF2-130703-003 |
| Model | SPARC M12-2, SPARC M12-2S |
| Description | When you install a PCI expansion unit by PCI hot plug (PHP), a PCI Express correctable error may occur and cause degradation of the PCI expansion unit at the next reboot. |
| Workaround | If you see a fault error message after installing a PCI expansion unit with PHP, reinstall the PCI expansion unit. |
| RTI No. | RTIF2-130703-004 |
| Model | SPARC M12-2, SPARC M12-2S |
| Description | When you install a PCI expansion unit with PCI hot plug (PHP), the PCI expansion unit may not be recognized. |
| Workaround | If the PCI expansion unit is not recognized after installing it with PHP, reinstall the PCI expansion unit. |
| RTI No. | RTIF2-130724-002 |
| Model | SPARC M12-1, SPARC M12-2, SPARC M12-2S |
| Description | If a 6 Gbps SAS card is mounted in the PCI expansion unit with PCI hot plug (PHP), linkup with PCI Express 8 Lane may not succeed, and Speed may be displayed as "5.0GTx4" or "5.0GTx2" by the prtdiag command of Oracle Solaris. [prtdiag output example] /SYS/PCI0 PCIE LSI,sas-pciex1000,72 LSI,2008 5.0GTx2 /pci@8100/pci@4/pci@0/pci@9/pci@0/pci@0/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/pci@8/LSI,sas@0 |
| Workaround | Restart the physical partitions (PPARs) or I/O domain, or reinstall the 6Gbps SAS card by PHP. |
| RTI No. | RTIF2-130724-003 |
| Model | SPARC M12-1, SPARC M12-2, SPARC M12-2S |
| Description | The following error may be registered for the PCI cards mounted in slots 6, 7, 10, and 11 of the PCI expansion unit when the physical partitions (PPARs) are started. [Error message example] FRU: /MBU/PCI#0/PCIBOX#0000/PCI#7 Msg: PCICARD failed |
| Workaround | When the device can be recognized from Oracle Solaris, ignore this error message. |
| RTI No. | RTIF2-170215-001 |
| Model | SPARC M12-1, SPARC M12-2, SPARC M12-2S |
| Description | Suppose that the PCIe root complex connecting the PCI expansion unit is dynamically added to a logical domain with the ldm add-io command. In this case, any of the following phenomena may occur on the PCI cards mounted in slots of the PCI expansion unit. - The following error may be registered: [Error message example] FRU: /BB#0/PCI#0/PCIBOX#0000/PCI#11 Msg: PCICARD failed - There may be "lane degrade." To check whether there is "lane degrade," execute the prtdiag command of Oracle Solaris and check "Cur Speed/Width". |
| Workaround | There is no effective workaround. [How to restore] Restart the logical domain connected to this PCI expansion unit. |
