SPARC Enterprise M8000/M9000 Servers Product Notes 15
6449315 The Solaris cfgadm(1M) command does not
unconfigure a DVD drive from a domain on a
SPARC Enterprise M8000/M9000 server.
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.
6459540 The DAT72 internal tape drive on SPARC
Enterprise M8000/M9000 may time out
during tape operations.
Add the following definition to
/kernel/drv/st.conf:
tape-config-list=
"SEAGATE DAT DAT72-000",
"SEAGATE_DAT____DAT72-000",
"SEAGATE_DAT____DAT72-000";
SEAGATE_DAT____DAT72-000=
1,0x34,0,0x9639,4,0x00,0x8c,0x8c,
0x8c,3;
There are four spaces between SEAGATE DAT
and DAT72-000.
6466617 Performing a hot plug operation with the PCI-
Express slot too quickly interrupts a PCI leaf
reset and fails, creating a cfgadm: Component
system is busy error.
Pause a few seconds between the issue of each
cfgadm -c command.
6472153 If you create a Solaris Flash archive on a non-
SPARC Enterprise M8000/M9000 sun4u server
and install it on a SPARC Enterprise
M8000/M9000 sun4u server, the console's TTY
flags will not be set correctly. This can cause
the console to lose characters during stress.
Just after installing Solaris OS from a Solaris
Flash archive, telnet into the SPARC Enterprise
M8000/M9000 server to reset the console's
TTY flags a follows:
# sttydefs -r console
# sttydefs -a console -i "9600 hupcl
opost onlcr crtscts" -f "9600"
This procedure is required only once.
6481002 Installing the Solaris from the network using
certain PCI-Express cards may cause a panic.
If you are using a Sun PCI-E Dual Gigabit
Ethernet Adapter MMF card or a Sun PCI-E
Dual Gigabit Ethernet Adapter UTP card, do
not install the Solaris using either of these
cards. Instead, use other network devices, such
as the onboard Gigabit Ethernet or another
network device.
