Assy CPU Dual Cheetah+ 900MHz (501-6334-03 or later) |
Sun Fire V880 and V480 systems with 900 MHz UltraSPARC III+ Mask 2.3
CPUs will be unable to boot unless firmware version 4.6.3 or later is
installed. Older versions of firmware will not recognize the Mask 2.3
CPUs and POST will fail during the JTAG SCAN ID test. |

Motherboard (501-6323-xx) |
In specific Sun Fire V880 configurations, the picld environmental
daemon may fail with continuous error messages being sent to the
console. Picld eventually falls into a degraded mode, causing it to no
longer keep track of environmental conditions. This has the potential
for system damage if allowed to continue for extended periods. |

Fiber channel disks |
Power management issue causes loss of access to internal fiber channel
disks on the Sun Blade 1000/2000, Sun Fire V880, V480, and 280R. |

ASSY Filler CPU A30 (540-4431-0)( |
Sun Logistics has received a significant number of orders for Sun Fire
V880 CPU/Memory Board Air Baffles, P/N 540-4431-01. There should be no
need to order this non-FRU part because every V880 system ships with 3
extra baffles. This FIN will describe the location of these spare
baffles and provide information for their use. |

Sun Fire 280R
Sun Fire V480
Sun Fire V880 |
A security issue exists for Sun Fire 280R, V480 and V880 servers where
a non-root user could change component LED states or control fan
speeds. By using a client PICL (Platform Information and Control
Library) program, a user could stop the fans on a server which would
result in system overheating and shutdown. |

OBP 4.6.{0-6} with Solaris 9 update 1 or later |
Multiple-CPU systems based on the Safari Bus which run OBP
version 4.6.{0-6} and Solaris 9 Update 1 (09/02) or later versions may fail
to boot due to an interrupt problem. On Sun Blade 1000 and Sun Blade 2000
systems, a boot of Solaris will hang when the second CPU is brought online.
Other Safari Bus platforms running OBP 4.6.{0-6} may also be affected by
this issue, although no failures have been reported. |

UltraSPARC III based platforms could be susceptible to Correctable
Fast ECC (UCC) errors that could cause a system panic resulting in loss
of service of the system. Any UltraSPARC III based server running Solaris
8 without PatchId 108528-15 can be affected. Systems running Solaris 9 are
not affected, and pre-Solaris 8 is not supported on these platforms. This
issue has typically been seen on 900MHz UltraSPARC III based processors,
although other UltraSPARC III based processors have been impacted as well. |

Sun Fire V880
Sun StorEdge A5200 |
After removing an FC-Al disk from either the internal disk
sub-system of a V880 or from an A5X00. As a result of the disks have been
under the control of Veritas Volume Manager 3.2, An 'Invalid device structure'
error message can be seen. This causes the replacement of the disks to fail.
When this happens, a reboot is needed at this point to correct affected
devices. Having to reboot the system nullifies disk hotswap a valuable RAS
feature. |

ASSY,IFB-LITE+ (375-3069 / X3685A) |
A specific batch of XVR-500 Graphics Accelerator boards was
programmed with incorrect FRU ID information. This information may be confusing
to field personnel when it is displayed with the 'fbconfig' command. This
is a serviceability issue which has no impact on product functionality. |

OBP 4.4.7 / Patch 112186-02 |
Upgrading the OBP firmware on Sun Fire V880 systems from version
4.2.9 or 4.2.10 to 4.4.7 sets an incorrect value for the variable "diag-script".
This variable is normally used by Sun Operations to execute a customized
version of POST and OBDiag. The incorrect value for "diag-script" found
in OBP version 4.4.7 will cause the voltage and frequency of the Safari
Bus to be margined. |

UltraSPARC III family processors (see FIN for list of part
numbers affected) |
Issues with the diagnosing of "send mondo" panics in systems
based on the UltraSPARC III family of processors have been noticed. The
UltraSPARC III family of processors includes both the UltraSPARC III and
UltraSPARC III Cu processors. The frequency and misdiagnosis of the issue
seems to be increasing and in many cases has caused customer dissatisfaction
due to parts being replaced unnecessarily and the occurrence of additional
outages. |

If the Emulex FC HBA card is placed on the same PCI Bus with any other
PCI card which causes the Schizo chip to attempt a 64-bit PIO, a system
panic would most likely result. The problem will not occur if the Emulex
HBA card is installed alone on a PCI Bus. UltraSparc-III platforms utilizing
the Schizo 2.1 or 2.2 ASIC may experience panics due to address parity
errors on the PCI Bus. The problem has been seen on the Sun Fire 280R
with the Emulex FC HBA card in combination with a PGX32 card installed
on the same PCI Bus. This condition occurs when a card on the PCI Bus
detects a 64-bit parity address error on the PCI Bus while another card
on the same PCI Bus is performing a 64-bit PIO. The following error messages
are displayed prior to a system panic:
WARNING: pcisch-0: PCI fault log start:
PCI SERR
PCI error occurred on device #6
dwordmask=0 bytemask=0 PCI primary error (0):
pcisch-0: PCI secondary error (0):
