SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 Servers Product Notes • October 2007

Missing CPU Cores and Strands Shown in PICL Physical-
Platform Tree (CR 6596503)

The output of the prtpicl command used with the -v option might show CPU
cores or strands with an OperationalStatus of enabled when, in fact, they do not
exist.

Workaround: Use the output from the prtdiag or prtpicl -c cpu commands,
which do show the correct information.

showfaults

Shows the Motherboard as Faulty Instead of the

DIMM (CR 6582853)

In a system with DIMMs or PCI-E adapters that have been faulted by PSH
(Predictive Self-Healing) diagnosis on the host, the ALOM showfaults command
displays the faulty FRU as the motherboard (/SYS/MB) instead of the DIMM or PCI-
E adapter. This problem will occur for the following PSH Message-ID's (MSGID):

SUN4V-8000-E2, SUN4V-8000-DX, SUN4-8000-4P, SUN4-8000-A2, SUN4-8000-75,
SUN4-8000-9J, SUN4-8000-D4, PCIEX-8000-0A, PCIEX-8000-DJ, PCIEX-8000-HS

The following is an example from the ALOM CMT compatibility CLI illustrating the
problem:

In addition to the problem with the FRU displayed by the ALOM showfaults
commands, the output displayed by the ILOM CLI command show
/SYS/faultmgmt

, the fault_state property of components, and the Faulted

Components listed under the Fault Management tab in the ILOM web interface will
be incorrect for the PSH Message-ID's listed above. Also, the FB-DIMM fault
indicator will not operate and the FRUID for the motherboard will have a fault
recorded.

Workaround: Use the Fault Management utilities on the host to find the location of
the faulty DIMM(s) or PCI-E adapters. Instructions for using these utilities for these
faults can be found in the Predictive Self-Healing Knowledge Articles located at:
