bcme fails to attach

Broadcom gigabit Ethernet NIC fails to attach.

OS releases affected—Solaris 10 8/07, 5/08, 10/08

Servers affected—HP ProLiant BL685c, BL685c G5, BL680c, BL480c, BL260c G5

Description—The Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Driver (BRCMbcme) v10.4.5 or later

successfully installs but fails to attach on a system with NC326i/NC325m (BCM5715S chipset)

NIC devices. The “bcme fails to attach” message is seen during the installation of

Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Driver (BRCMbcme) v10.4.5 or later for NC326i and

NC325m Network Controllers on Solaris10 8/07, Solaris 10 5/08, and Solaris 10 10/08.

Workaround—For Solaris 10 8/07, follow these steps.

1.

Remove the “bge” entries from the /etc/path_to_inst file.

The bge entries should look similar to the following for NC326i
"/pci@0, 0/pci8086, 65e2@2/pci1166, 103@0/pci103c, 703c@4" 0 "bge"
"/pci@0, 0/pci8086, 65e2@2/pci1166, 103@0/pci103c, 703c@4, 1" 1

"bge"
For NC325m:
"/pci@0,0/pci8086,25e2@2/pci8086,3500@0/pci8086,3514@1/pci1166,103

@0/pci103c,703c@4" 0 "bge"
"/pci@0,0/pci8086,25e3@3/pci111d,801c@0/pci111d,801c@0/pci1166,103

@0/pci103c,170c@4" 2 "bge"

2.

Reboot with “-- -r” option:

# reboot -- -r

3.

Run fmadm faulty (this will list the faulty/degraded devices)

# fmadm faulty

4.

Repair the faulty devices using the fmadm command as follows :

# fmadm repair
The faulty_device_ids can be obtained from the step 3 above. The

faulty PCI device ids should be similar to the following.
For NC326i:
"dev:///pci@0,0/pci8086,65e2@2/pci1166,103@0/pci103c,703c@4"
"dev:/// pci@0,0/pci8086,65e2@2/pci1166,103@0/pci103c,703c@4,1"
For NC325m:
dev:////pci@0,0/pci8086,25e3@3/pci111d,801c@0/pci111d,801c@0/pci11

66,103@0/pci103c,170c@4,1
dev:////pci@0,0/pci8086,25e2@2/pci8086,3500@0/pci8086,3514@1/pci11

66,103@0/pci103c,703c@4

Workaround— For Solaris 10 5/08 and 10/08, the chipset is supported with the native bge

driver provided by the patch 140120-01.

Workaround— For Solaris 10 5/09, the chipset is supported with native bge driver.
