Symptoms

Identification of Affected Parts (how to):
 
Customers and/or Sun personnel have two options to determine if the blade has the B1 version of the LSI Raid controller:
 
1) Reset the blade, enter the LSI BIOS Configuration Utility (Ctrl-C), then select the HBA.
   Select the 3rd option down (Advanced Adapter Properties).
   Check the Chip Revision ID : 02=B1, 04=B2
 
2) Check the part number of the Motherboard: 371-1592-12 (or below) has the B1 controller,
   371-1592-13 (and above) has the B2 controller.
