6-12 Sun StorEdge A1000 and A3x00/A3500FC Best Practices Guide • November 2002
6.4.1 Prominent Bugs
■ Bug 4356814 - Dynamic reconfiguration fails with A3500FC, Leadville drivers,
Qlogic 2202 on an E10000 The resolution of this bug demonstrates that dynamic
reconfiguration works on an E10000 over a PCI bus using QLogic 2202.
■ Bug 4330698 - Unable to detach (dynamic reconfiguration) system board with
A3x00/A3500FC connect. Indicates a recent problem with dynamic
reconfiguration under Solaris 2.6, probably related to patch levels since dynamic
reconfiguration worked on Solaris 2.6 when RAID Manager 6.22 released
November 99. If the dynamic reconfiguration operation includes moving the non-
pageable memory kernel cage additional steps must be taken.
6.4.2 Further Information
Refer to FIN I0536-2 for further information on dynamic reconfiguration.

For an A3000 disk array, see the "Special Handling of Sun StorEdge A3000" section
under Chapter 2 "DR Configuration Issues" in the Sun Enterprise 10000 Dynamic
Reconfiguration User Guide, 806-2249-10 for additional information.
6.5 Controller Failover and LUN Balancing
Takes Too Long
■ Controller failover can appear to take a long time as described in FIN I0634-1.
The latest isp driver is needed: 105600-15 for Solaris 2.6 only.
FIN I0551 describes editing sd.conf so that adding the controller back in doesn’t
take so long and to cut down the amount of time it takes to reboot (reducing
drvconfig time).
■ There is another issue with Fibre Channel cable failures.
Bug 4338906 - Rdac takes a long time to disable a controller with fiber problem.
This bug describes a problem found in cluster testing.
Bug 4344061 - RAID Manager 6 application hangs for power off RAID module,
reset loop corrects. This bug describes recovery applications hanging when power
is re-applied.
