[pca] [[slightly] off-topic Warning]: Solaris 10 SPARC patch 144500-19 and EMC PowerPath

[Don O'Malley]

Hi Loris/All,

Firstly, apologies that you found this out the hard way. I am in the 
process of getting a README note added to this KU to warn customers of 
the issue.

This is a late breaking issue that we are currently investigating in 
partnership with EMC.
The cause of this issue is that EMC PowerPath is using private 
interfaces in Solaris, which Oracle have changed in the latest KU 
deliverables. While it is not strictly an Oracle problem, we are doing 
everything we can to find a good solution for our customers that use EMC 
PowerPath.

I will keep the PCA alias in the loop as I know more. Please bear with us.

Best,
-Don
