I am not sure how old your SUN 210's are, one recomdation would be go to Sunsolve.sun.com and download the latest OBP. and if your are using Solaris and not snv_b78, apply all the patches from the smpatch analyze in that order, then open a case or submit a RFE and provide your steps in reproducing this. you could also capture the console via tip from another via script log using the latest alom from sun.com/downloads.
