E6900/E4900/E2900, V1280, Netra 1280 and Sun Fire 4800/6800 Systems may fail to Auto-boot properly

1. Impact

E6900/E4900/E2900, V1280, Netra 1280 and Sun Fire 4800/6800 systems running Solaris 10 may fail to properly auto-boot after a system panic.

2. Contributing Factors

This issue can occur in the following release:

SPARC Platform

• Solaris 10 without patch 127111-08

on the following platforms:

• E6900/E4900/E2900, V1280, Netra 1280 and Sun Fire 4800/6800 Systems

Note: This issue does not impact Solaris 8 and 9 or Solaris 10 on the x86 platform.

3. Symptoms

If this issue occurs, the system stays down until "go" is typed.

If "boot" is entered instead of "go", a crash dump is not taken so the original panic cannot be diagnosed.

If "sync" is entered instead of "go", the system may enter into a recursive panic.

4. Workaround

To avoid this issue, set the 'nopanicdebug' parameter to 0x1 in "/etc/system" or by using mdb.

5. Resolution

This issue is addressed in the following release:

SPARC Platform

• Solaris 10 with patch 127111-08 or later
