RAID mode not supported Solaris 10 operating system will not deploy on an HP ProLiant BL260c G5 or BL280c G6 blade server when the SATA controller is configured in RAID mode. • OS releases affected-Solaris 10 • Hardware affected- HP ProLiant BL260c G5, BL280c G6 • Description-Cannot install SUN Solaris 10 operating system on HP ProLiant when the SATA controller is configured in RAID mode. Solaris 10 operating system does not have the device driver support for the SATA Controller in RAID mode. • Workaround-Solaris does not support this controller in RAID mode. Deploy Solaris in IDE mode. Kernel Panic after disabling PCI devices in RBSU Solaris stops responding or halts due to kernel panic when one or more PCI devices have been disabled using ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU). • OS releases affected-All • Servers affected-All supported ProLiant servers • Description-Disabling PCI devices in RBSU might cause Solaris to stop responding, halt due to kernel panic, or produce other undesirable behavior. • Workaround-Unless otherwise indicated, HP does not support using RBSU to disable PCI devices while running Solaris. Add-on PCI devices should be removed from the system instead of disabling them in RBSU. Network configuration fails during interactive installation Solaris installation fails during network configuration or Solaris is unable to configure network interfaces after the post-installation reboot. • OS releases affected-Solaris 10 1/06, 6/06, 11/06, and 5/08 • Servers affected-All supported ProLiant servers • Description-There is a known issue with network setup at installation time, and the installation might fail, or Solaris will be unable to initialize the network after rebooting. This issue occurs if driver updates (DUs) or installation time updates (ITU), such as the Smart Array driver, are added during installation. This issue is not reported if the extra drivers are installed into the miniroot prior to deployment. • Workaround-When prompted during the Solaris installation, select non-networked. After the installation is complete and the system has rebooted, run sys-unconfig(1M). The system reboots and the network can be configured properly. • This issue is fixed with Solaris 10 10/08.

•
Workaround—Edit
/platform/i86pc/kernel/drv/pcie_pci.conf
and add the entry
"pci-hotplug-type=0"
, then reboot the server.
•
For Solaris 10 5/08, the issue is fixed with patch 137122-04.
•
This issue is fixed in Solaris 10 10/08.
RAID mode not supported
Solaris 10 operating system will not deploy on an HP ProLiant BL260c G5 or BL280c G6 blade
server when the SATA controller is configured in RAID mode.
•
OS releases affected—Solaris 10
•
Hardware affected— HP ProLiant BL260c G5, BL280c G6
•
Description—Cannot install SUN Solaris 10 operating system on HP ProLiant when the SATA
controller is configured in RAID mode.
Solaris 10 operating system does not have the device
driver support for the SATA Controller in RAID mode.
•
Workaround—Solaris does not support this controller in RAID mode.
Deploy Solaris in IDE
mode.
Kernel Panic after disabling PCI devices in RBSU
Solaris stops responding or halts due to kernel panic when one or more PCI devices have been
disabled using ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU).
•
OS releases affected—All
•
Servers affected—All supported ProLiant servers
•
Description—Disabling PCI devices in RBSU might cause Solaris to stop responding, halt due to
kernel panic, or produce other undesirable behavior.
•
Workaround—Unless otherwise indicated, HP does not support using RBSU to disable PCI
devices while running Solaris. Add-on PCI devices should be removed from the system instead of
disabling them in RBSU.
Network configuration fails during interactive installation
Solaris installation fails during network configuration or Solaris is unable to configure network
interfaces after the post-installation reboot.
•
OS releases affected—Solaris 10 1/06, 6/06, 11/06, and 5/08
•
Servers affected—All supported ProLiant servers
•
Description—There is a known issue with network setup at installation time, and the installation
might fail, or Solaris will be unable to initialize the network after rebooting. This issue occurs if
driver updates (DUs) or installation time updates (ITU), such as the Smart Array driver, are added
during installation.
This issue is not reported if the extra drivers are installed into the miniroot prior to deployment.
•
Workaround—When prompted during the Solaris installation, select
non-networked
. After the
installation is complete and the system has rebooted, run
sys-unconfig(1M)
. The system reboots
and the network can be configured properly.
