Hi Kevin/Brian,

As this CR has Escalations open against it there should be a patch containing the fix available for it before May 2010.

I'm not sure roughly when you could expect a fix; I'll do some digging and see if I can find out.

Best,
-Don

I spaced that one, but that makes the delivery date way out there, I hope the SE is wrong or I will have to back out the existing patch.



Thanks

Kevin,



Update 8 was just released the beginning of last month.  If Sun's schedule holds constant, update 9 should be released in May 2010.

I opened a case with Sun, the engineer opened a bug, they found that the bug was a duplicate so closed the new one.  The fix is supposedly complete but won't be available until Sol 10 update 9 (which I thought was available).  In case you are interested the bug is CR6797442.  Not as much detail as you received in your ticket but neither is complete.

Hi,

This is not a pca issue but may be helpful to those on the list.  A

recent Solaris 10 patch has created a "compatibility" issue with fmd

which causes it to log 10+ errors per second to /var/fm/fmd/errlog.  I

only noticed because one of the systems patched was running low on

space.  I opened a case with Sun yesterday morning but so far have not

received any useful information, including which patch caused the

problem.  The system is the following error being logged several times a

second:



Oct 21 2009 12:35:09.061332556 ereport.io.ddi.fm-capability

nvlist version: 0

        class = ereport.io.ddi.fm-capability

        ena = 0x2196595e6b07001

        detector = (embedded nvlist)

        nvlist version: 0

                version = 0x0

                scheme = dev

A quick note about this older topic - I patched some servers yesterday

and

noticed /var/fm/fmd/errlog getting filled with

ereport.io.ddi.fm-capability

messages (500+ MB of them overnight). Contacted Sun Support and they

told

me to back out Emulex patch 141876-05. FMA support was introduced in

141876-03 and apparently something broke it already in 141876-05.



We never had any revisions of 141876 installed before, so after

removing 141876-05, we are now back to Emulex patch 139608-05 with

no fmd issues. I guess we have to wait for 141876-06 before trying

patching Emulex HBA drivers again.
