x86: i86_mwait Work Does Not Function as Designed
(6736444)
Systems with the Intel Xeon Processor MP 7400 series running the Solaris 10 10/09 OS might
experience reduced performance and increased power consumption under light utilization.
This problem might occur when CPUs do not quiesce, preventing power management while
idle. No error message is displayed.
Workaround: Add the following line to the /etc/system le and reboot the system:
set idle_cpu_prefer_mwait=0
fwflash Does Not Support ConnectX and hermon
HCAs (6731804)
The standard fwflash command needs a plug-in to support rmware update on the ConnectX
HCA ash device. This plug-in is not yet available in the Solaris 10 10/09 release.
Workaround: A standalone version of the utility is available to enable Solaris 10 users to update
their rmware. Perform the following steps:
1. Download the utility and man page from the Customer Download Center at
http://www.sun.com/download/index.jsp?tab=2. On this page search for Solaris
InniBand (IB) Updates 3. Follow the instructions for downloading the package and untar
the les. Do not install the package since you need to extract only some of the les.
2. Rename the original .tar le:
# mv ib_updates_3_s10u6.i386.tar ib_updates_3_s10u6.i386.tar-orig
3. Unzip the compressed .tar le:
#gunzip ib_updates_3_s10u6.i386.tgz
