as Justin Stringfellow summarized it as follows:
When running SunVTS[TM] 4.4,4.5,4.6 and 5.1 with
Solaris[TM] 8 and kernel update patch 108528-16, you
will see error messages of:
10/16/02 16:09:02 ctech121 SunVTS4.5: VTSID 7004
vtsk.INFO : *Start all tests*
System Passes: 0, Cumulative Errors: 1, Elapsed Test
Time: 000:00:01
mem(pmemtest) passes: 0 errors: 1
10/16/02 16:09:04 ctech121 SunVTS4.5: VTSID 8004
pmemtest.FATAL mem:
"Unable to read pointer to memlist structure."
Resolution
Problem is due to the fact that the symbol
"max_ce_err" was deleted from the kernel with the
108528-16 patch.
Workaround:
To fix this problem apply the patch appropriate with
the SunVTS version.
4.4 apply patch 111854-04
4.5 apply 112250-04
4.6 apply 112336-06
5.1 apply 113614-12

RELEASE PATCH-IDs VTS4.4 111854-04 VTS4.5 112250-05 VTS4.6 112336-06 VTS5.1 113689-01 OR 113169-10 OR 113614-12 OR 114479-11 (latest) Regards, --Vizdy ----- pmemtest reads the ECC error statistics using libkvm in Solaris 8 and libkstat in Solaris 9 and onwards. In solaris 8 the ECC counter used to roll over after a specific number of errors - this number was specified by the max_ce_err symbol/variable. In kstats however the counter does not rollover, so the above symbol is not required. In Solaris 10 they removed the symbol altogether. It seems that in the patch for Solaris 8, they fixed the rollover issue and removed the symbol (probably a back port from Solaris 10). I removed the code section which was using this symbol with some modifications in algorithm to report number of ECC errors. Regards, --Vizdy __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
