Network Device Removal Fails When a Program Is Holding the Device
Open (5054195)
If a process is holding open a network device, any DR operation that would involve that device
fails. Daemons and processes that hold reference counts stop DR operations from completing.
Workaround: As superuser, perform the following steps:
1. Remove or rename the /rplboot directory.
2. Shut down NFS services.
# sh /etc/init.d/nfs.server stop
3. Shut down Boot Server services.
# sh /etc/init.d/boot.server stop
4. Perform the DR detach operation.
5. Restart NFS services.
# sh /etc/init.d/nfs.server start
6. Restart Boot Server services.
# sh /etc/init.d/boot.server start
Cannot Uncongure cPCI Board With a Disabled Port 0 (4798990)
On Sun Fire midrange systems, a CompactPCI (cPCI) I/O board cannot be uncongured when
Port 0 (P0) on that board is disabled. This problem exists in Solaris 10 and Solaris 9 software. It
also exists in Solaris 8 software that has one or more of the following patches installed:
■
Patch ID 108528–11 through 108528–29
■
Patch ID 111372–02 through 111372–04
The error also occurs only during DR operations that involve cPCI boards. An error message
similar to the following example is displayed:
# cfgadm -c unconfigure NO.IB7
cfgadm: Hardware specific failure: unconfigure N0.IB7: Device
busy:/ssm@0,0/pci@1b,700000/pci@1
NO.IB7 is a CompactPCI I/O Board with P0 disabled.
Workaround: Disable the slots instead of Port 0.
