I have added an X6541A dual channel adapter to a V880 running Solaris 8
using the
the "hot-plug push button method" as described in the
Sun Fire 880 Dynamic Reconfiguration User's Guide
The operation appeared to succeed. The PCI slot fault LED blinked after
insertion and then
power LED turned green. But the front panel "Attention Left Side" light on
the control panel became
lit and remains so. The "OK to remove" front panel LED is also lit but I am
unsure at what point
this occured. It may have been initially.
Running cfgadm displayed the card as being:
pcisch0:hpc1_slot0 mult/hp connected configured ok
The scsi channel statuses were:
c2 scsi-bus connected unconfigured unknown
c3 scsi-bus connected unconfigured unknown
I thought I might reverse the process by unconfiguring and disconnecting
all devices
starting with the scsi busses and then pcisch0:hpc1_slot0.
Both scsi channels disconnected OK but when I attempt to unconfigure or
disconnect
pcisch0:hpc1_slot0 I get the following errors:
root@sfx # cfgadm -c unconfigure pcisch0:hpc1_slot0
cfgadm: Component system is busy, try again:
Resource Information
---------------------------- -------------------------
/devices/pci@8,700000/scsi@5 DR operation in progress
root@sfx # cfgadm -c disconnect pcisch0:hpc1_slot0
cfgadm: Component system is busy, try again:
Resource Information
---------------------------- -------------------------
/devices/pci@8,700000/scsi@5 DR operation in progress
root@sfx #
I presume this is saying that a dynamic configuration operation is in
progress. This
may be due to an aborted attempt to configure a tape drive using devfsadm
which appeared
to hang but was actually doing a lot of bus resets. Would this have left a
lock file around
which might prevent the above actions? I'm not sure what to do next. Is a
complete
power cycle and reconfiguration boot the only way out now? Below is the current
state of the system. Any suggestions appreciated.
