The system takes a rmalloc panic because the sd and ssd drivers are referencing
a bp that they have biodone'ed. A layered driver's private iodone routine,
or a fs's private iodone routine, may significantly alter the buf, or may
even free it, before returning. A bp should not be referenced after it is
biodone'ed.

- Includes the sdaread and sdawrite entry points for asynchronous
reads and writes.
The KAIO patch must be installed or the loading of ssd will fail
with these messages:

/kernel/drv/ssd: undefined symbol aphysio

pln: Watchdog Reset then accessing SSA with power-failure
1191184 pln: sytem hangs for 20 minutes when one mirrored storage array is
turned off
1193331 soc: pln.conf: fix for soc chip problem, multiple INITCHILD's
In order to work with the newer host adapter FCode (1.33) we changed the
names in pln.conf to SUNW,pln and SUNW,soc. This caused pln to be 'init'ed
twice per SSA so we added a check in soc to return (DDI_FAILURE) for the
second init. We do this because there may be entries generated by both the
OBP-built device tree and from the .conf file. This bug is applicable only
to Solaris 2.4 11/94.

Patch Installation Instructions:
--------------------------------
Refer to the Install.info file for instructions on using the
generic 'installpatch' and 'backoutpatch' scripts provided with
each patch. Any other special or non-generic installation
instructions should be described below as special instructions.
Special Install Instructions:
-----------------------------
After installing the patch, here is how one goes about
upgrading the firmware:
1. Enter the following command to see what the firmware level is
in your SPARCstorage Array:
For Solaris 2.4 3/95:
# /usr/sbin/ssaadm display controller
For Solaris 2.4 11/94:
# /opt/SUNWssa/bin/ssacli display <controller>
where controller is either the logical controller name
(given as cX) or the physical path of the controller
(given as
/devices/../../SUNW,soc@3,0/SUNW,plnaxxxxxx,xxxxxxxx:ctlr).
For more information, see the ssaadm.1m man page.
2. Look at the output for a line similar to the following to find
the firmware level:
Firmware Rev: 3.9
3. Determine if you need to upgrade the firmware.
If the firmware level produced from the ssaadm command (Step
2) is lower than 3.12 then you must upgrade your firmware.
Go to Step 4.
If the firmware level produced from the ssaadm command (Step
2) is 3.12 or higher then you do not have to read any further in these
instructions, since your firmware is already at the proper
level.
4. If the firmware level produced from the ssaadm command is lower
than 2.4 you MUST complete the following steps for those SPARCstorage
Arrays that contain firmware revision lower than 2.4. If the
firmware is 2.4 or higher you don't need to do step 4 so go to step 5.
a) Enable the SSA fastwrite capability:
For Solaris 2.4 HW 3/95:
# /usr/sbin/ssaadm fast_write -se <controller>
For Solaris 2.4 11/94:
# /opt/SUNWssa/bin/ssacli -se fast_write <controller>
b) Disable the SSA fastwrite capability:
For Solaris 2.4 3/95:
# /usr/sbin/ssaadm fast_write -sd <controller>
For Solaris 2.4 11/94:
# /opt/SUNWssa/bin/ssacli -sd fast_write <controller>
where controller is either the logical controller name
(given as cX) or the physical path of the controller
(given as
/devices/../../SUNW,soc@3,0/SUNW,plnaxxxxxx,xxxxxxxx:ctlr).
CAUTION: This operation may take a few minutes to complete. Do NOT
interrupt the operation before it is finished or the system
may not be able to communicate with the SPARCstorage Array.
5. Download the SPARCstorage Array firmware to your SPARCstorage Array.
If the host is booted off the SSA, the host MUST be rebooted for this
operation from another device. This device can be either another SSA
that is not to have it's firmware updated, another disc or a CDROM.
If the host is being rebooted only the steps 'e' and 'f' below need to
be executed.
The following steps must be completed on each SSA to download the firmware
safely:
a) Stop all I/O activity on the SPARCstorage Array.
b) Perform a sync_data to the SSA:
For Solaris 2.4 3/95:
# /usr/sbin/ssaadm sync_cache <controller>
For Solaris 2.4 11/94:
# /opt/SUNWssa/bin/ssacli sync_cache <controller>
c) Unmount any filesystems residing on the SSA disks.
d) Stop all Veritas Volume manager (VxVA) volumes and/or Solistice Disk Suite
(SDS) metadevices (if any) running on the SSA. Also insure that ownership
of any SDS diskset metadevices have been released since an implicit I/O
stream exists while ownership of a diskset is maintained. Please refer
to the metaset(1M) manpage for details on taking/releasing ownership
of disksets.
e) Execute the ssaadm download command to download the new firmware:
For Solaris 2.4 3/95:
#/usr/sbin/ssaadm download -f /usr/lib/firmware/ssa/ssafirmware
<controller>
For Solaris 2.4 11/94:
#/opt/SUNWssa/bin/ssacli -s -f /opt/SUNWssa/lib/3.12/ssafirmware download
<contr
oller>
where controller is either the logical controller name
(given as cX) or the physical path of the controller
(given as
/devices/../../SUNW,soc@3,0/SUNW,plnaxxxxxx,xxxxxxxx:ctlr).
CAUTION: This operation may take a few minutes to complete. Do NOT
interrupt the operation before it is finished or the system
may not be able to communicate with the SPARCstorage Array.
f) The SSA(s) will now need to be reset for the changes to take effect. If the
host is booted off an SSA then the host MUST be shutdown at this point.
Reset your SSA(s) by pushing the SYS OK button in the back of the unit(s).
This causes the SPARCstorage Array to reboot using the new revision
of firmware.
If your host boots off an SSA it can now be booted up again.
g) Restart the Veritas Volume manager (VxVA) and/or SDS metadevices and
reclaim ownership of any SDS diskset metadevices that were relinquished.
h) Remount the filesystems that reside on the SSA disks.
6. The firmware download is now complete. I/O activity on the SPARCstorage
Array can be restarted.
