Greetings forumers,
We are trying to do reinstall Solaris on an E10k domain. This domain
runs fine with Solaris 2.6, but we need it running with 2.8. Tha old
installation is a legacy.
But.... When we give the boot net command, the get a panic...
(...)
2b000
Requesting Internet address for 0:0:be:a6:b4:55
Alloc of 0x2000000 bytes at 0x10880000 refused.
panic[cpu24]/thread=10408000: Cannot allocate IOMMU TSB arrays
(...)
This system runs OK with 2.6, all disks appear. But the interesting part
is that when we go to the ok prompt, the probe-scsi-all doesnt
respond...
The boot disks are connected through this card:
http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub/Devices/Fibre_Channel/FIBRE_FC_AL_F
C100_S.html
The prtdiag of the domain:
Bus Freq
Brd Type MHz Slot Name Model
--- ---- ---- ---- --------------------------------
----------------------
6 SBus 25 0 SUNW,qfe SUNW,sbus-qfe
6 SBus 25 0 SUNW,qfe SUNW,sbus-qfe
6 SBus 25 0 SUNW,qfe SUNW,sbus-qfe
6 SBus 25 0 SUNW,qfe SUNW,sbus-qfe
6 SBus 25 0 SUNW,socal/sf (scsi-3) 501-3060
6 SBus 25 1 network SUNW,sbus-gem
The old boot disk device:
dwerp # ls -lt /dev/dsk/c0t4d0s2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 71 Oct 18 2003 /dev/dsk/c0t4d0s2
->
../../devices/sbus@59,0/SUNW,socal@0,0/sf@0,0/ssd@w2200002037f0f79c,0:c
The weird fact is that the "old" S.O. works fine with boot discs that
are being reached through fiber, but when we try to install Solaris 2.8
we got a panic. This panic appears to be caused by the install process
inability to to see the disks through fiber. Is this right?
Do we have to change something on the installation server (ssp in this
case)? Is there any caveat about installing a domain that sees its boot
disks by fiber? Where do we start?
Thanks, any help would be much appreciated.
