42949   Sun Enterprise[TM] 10000: panic cannot allocate i/o mmu tsb arrays   10 Sep 2002

Status Issued

Description

On an E10K, when booting net the domain panics with:

panic cannot allocate i/o mmu tsb arrays

This is an issue with the designation of the O/S for the domain and the boot image. When defining the domain, the O/S should be specified as 5.6, 5.7 or 5.8. If the O/S is specified as 2.8 for instance insead of 5.8, the domain will panic when it is booted over the network.

SOLUTION SUMMARY:

Solution: To change the O/S designation, for ssp 3.3 and above do:

ssp% domain_rename -d <domain name> -o <correct O/S version>

For lower versions of the ssp,

ssp% domain_remove -d <domain name>

When it asks if you want to delete the files, make sure to retain the files.

The domain can then be recreated with the correct O/S by:

ssp% domain_create -d <domain name> -o <correct O/S version>.
