Some Sun Fire 3800/4800/4810/6800 systems with redundant System Controllers
(SC) may experience failed domains when clock failover does not occur after
a clock failure. This occurs when the System Controller has an incorrect
clock source selection which causes the clock failover feature to be disabled,
leading to a system malfunction. If a clock fails and there is a redundant
SC, the domains using the failed clock will not switch over to the redundant
clock and will hang. Systems at risk are those with two SC's shipped prior
to July 2001, or those where a second SC board has been added from FRU stock
shipped prior to July 2001. |

Under certain conditions,
the 'flashupdate -u' command can create incompatible firmware versions between
boards on Sun Fire 3800, 4800, 4810 and 6800 systems. The system will be
unusable until the problem is corrected. CPU/Memory boards will not be recognized
by the system controller upon reboot. No system components are damaged and
the system can be restored to operation once all the system components are
updated with a common firmware version. |

Failure analysis results have
highlighted a significant failure rate for Drive Not Ready (DNR) on returned
IBM 18GB & 36GB disk drives. These failures have been observed to occur
as a result of the disk drives either been stored or operated in an extremely
hot and humid environments. |

If the Emulex FC HBA card is placed on the same PCI Bus with any other
PCI card which causes the Schizo chip to attempt a 64-bit PIO, a system
panic would most likely result. The problem will not occur if the Emulex
HBA card is installed alone on a PCI Bus. UltraSparc-III platforms utilizing
the Schizo 2.1 or 2.2 ASIC may experience panics due to address parity
errors on the PCI Bus. The problem has been seen on the Sun Fire 280R
with the Emulex FC HBA card in combination with a PGX32 card installed
on the same PCI Bus. This condition occurs when a card on the PCI Bus
detects a 64-bit parity address error on the PCI Bus while another card
on the same PCI Bus is performing a 64-bit PIO. The following error messages
are displayed prior to a system panic:
WARNING: pcisch-0: PCI fault log start:

cPCI Dual FC Network Adapter
( 375-0118-02)
FRU cPCI Dual FC Network Adapter (F375-0118-02) |
Sun Fire x800 systems are subject
to a "panic" problem at boot time when a cPCI Dual FC Network Adapter (FRU
or X-option) is installed for the first time. If a customer installs this
board and boots the system, they will see panic messages on the console
and the boot will fail. However, any subsequent reboots will be successful.
This may result in an unnecessary service call. This cPCI board (P/N 370-0118-02)
has been shipped with Sun Fire X800 systems and as an X-option. The current
estimate is that less than 1000 boards have been installed in systems and
1200 boards are in field stock (FRUs and x-options) as of 7/12/01. |
