Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 Systems Product Notes for XCP Version 2240 ･ March 2015

Description
When installing a PCI expansion unit by
PCI hot plug (PHP), among PCI
expansion unit slots 6, 7, 10 and 11, those
without HBA will have command
execution result "disconnected" instead of
"empty" for the Oracle Solaris cfgadm
(1M) command.
Although the display is not appropriate,
the slots work normally if you mount
HBA.
This phenomenon does not occur if you
restart the logical domain after
connecting the PCI expansion unit.
When you install a PCI expansion unit
with PCI hot plug (PHP), there may be
lane degrade.
When you install a PCI expansion unit by
PCI hot plug (PHP), a PCI-Express
correctable error may occur and cause
degradation of the PCI expansion unit at
the next reboot.
When you install a PCI expansion unit
with PCI hot plug (PHP), the PCI
expansion unit may not be recognized.
Workaround
This is just a display problem and does
not affect operation.
When using PHP, execute cfgadm -c
configure instead of cfgadm -c connect.
If there a fault error message is output
after installing a PCI expansion unit with
PHP, reinstalled the PCI expansion unit.
If the PCI expansion unit is not
recognized after installing it with PHP,
reinstall the PCI expansion unit.
