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
cfgadm Disconnect Fails When Running Concurrent cfgadm Commands
(4220105)
If a cfgadm process is running on one board, an attempt to simultaneously disconnect a second
board fails. The following error message is displayed:
cfgadm: Hardware specific failure:
disconnect failed: nexus error during detach:address
Workaround: Run only one cfgadm operation at a time. Allow a cfgadm operation that is
running on one board to nish before you start a cfgadm disconnect operation on a second
board.
