Hi,

Karl Rossing told me that Sun had an opened Bug ID (4826150) for a similar
situation. But it's dated from last March, and got no
associated patches, workarounds, nothing else since.

After looking around a bit on my system, I found out that the "sf" driver
is included in the package SUNWluxd which was installed on my 2 systems,
but SUNWluxdx (64-bit version) was not (don't ask me why, I did a full
install).

So I installed it from the Solaris 9 cd 1/2 in
/cdrom/cdrom0/s0/Solaris_9/Product, pkgadd -d . SUNWluxdx.u, rebooted. The
"sf" message was gone, but a similar one showed up :

Aug 13 16:20:24 ann1-qc1 krtld: [ID 469452 kern.info] NOTICE: socal:
64-bit driver module not found

Damn ! I looked around, and I was missing the SUNWluxlx package (64-bit
version of socal driver SUNWluxl, which was already installed). One reboot
later I've got no more error messages of that type. Woohoo !

As soon as I get my sunsolve account, I'll install patch 113321-04, which
updates those 2 drivers (sf, socal), just so I can breathe a little easier
;)

Thanks again Karl for your time !

Alex.

Hi,

I have 2 Sunfire 480 hooked up to a A5200 with 2 fcal card each. They both
run Solaris 9 4/03 with VxVM 3.5 MP1.
I've configured all my disks (local and a5200), volumes, etc.. with no
problems.
On reboots, I get that error message (on both servers):

Aug 13 09:20:24 ann1-qc1 krtld: [ID 469452 kern.info] NOTICE: sf: 64-bit
driver module not found

I've looked around the net to find info about the sf driver. Seems that's
the drivers for my A5200 array and I don't like knowing it's not loading
well (or running in 32bit).
These babies are on a tight installation schedule, so I need to know fast
if I need to do something major (like reinstall or such).

Thanks a lots !
