Description

Enterprise 450 is loaded with Solaris 2.x and is fully functional. 
The src/p IO card is added to the appropriate slot in the back of 
the 450, and cabled to the middle 8 drive back plane of the array.
The addition of the card is verified at the Open Boot Prom level. 
Diagnostics such as "probe-scsi-all" and "obdiag" appropriately
identify the card. However reboot of the system now fails with:
          
        warning: pci6:no upa-port id property

The only way to get the system to boot again is to remove the 
card from the slot.

                              

Solution

The problem is solved at the OBP level. The minimum PROM revision
required for the src/p card is 3.12.12. In this particular case, the 
PROM version was 3.5. By installing patch 106122-06 (or later) and 
upgrading the PROM to the latest level, (in this case 3.16.2), the 
system booted up normally. 

Note: the same PROM requirement exist for the E250. The PROM upgrade
      patch is 106503-04 or later.
