Empty fan tray generates fault messages in the
RSC event log (BugID 4470063)
On a Sun Fire 880 system running Remote System Control 2.1 software delivered
with the Solaris 8 7/01 operating environment, for any fan tray bay that is
unoccupied, RSC will continually log fan failure messages to the RSC event log.
These error messages are generated once every hour.

Removing disk drives during hot-plugging
requires
devfsadm -C
command (BugID 4418718)
On a Sun Fire 880 system running the Solaris 8 7/01 operating environment, when
removing a disk during a hot-plug procedure, device nodes are not removed
automatically by the system. After you have removed the disk drive, the system
cannot tell if the disk drive is present so the disk hot-plug procedure does not fully
complete its function. This occurs when removing a drive using the
luxadm
remove_device
command or when pulling the drive from the system to initiate the
hot-plug procedure.
Workaround – Issue the
devfsadm -C
command after you remove the drive.

died during SunVTS run, no errors
reported (BugIDs 4418396, 4486083)
On a Sun Fire 880 system running the Solaris 8 7/01 operating environment, when
using SunVTS™ software to perform continuous stress testing, the
picld
daemon
can sometimes die after an extended test run. Since the environmental monitoring
software is dependent on the
picld
daemon, this effectively disables the system’s
environmental monitoring capability. Environmental monitoring is necessary for
stable system operation.
