Hi,

I bought an XAUI card (Sun 501-7489 10GB Ethernet), inserted it into RISER1, then RISER0, and the error now is gone. However, the motherboard is still in the faulted state with the following errors:

SUN4-8000-LY
SUN4V-8000-L5

The server seems to work fine, and I'm not hoping to fix the above errors. I'm just dropping a note for those interested.

Still for those interested, to make my primary domain (Solaris 11.3) recognize the interface, I had to:

# ldm set-var fix-xaui=yes primary
# ldm rm-var fix-xaui primary

In my switch (Mikrotik CSS326-24G-2S+RM), I inserted the Sun Oracle 530-4449-01 10Gbit MM SR 850nm SPF module, and connected the two with a MM LC/UPC fiber optic cable. My logical domain OpenBSD 7.6 has a virtual network interface that is bridged to this XAUI. Works good!

For a test, I assigned this XAUI to OpenBSD, that reports it as "niu", but offers no driver. This is not surprising, because it's an unusual card. I haven't seen anything like this before.

I'm impressed by the hardware and its virtualization, and that OpenBSD works so excellent. But I can't help thinking, that it's a beautiful road to nowhere.


Best,
Irek

Hi,

I have a Sun Oracle Netra T5220.  The server worked fine with OpenBSD 7.5, but after installing Solaris, now OpenBoot reports:

ERROR: The following devices are disabled:
     MB/RISER1/XAUI1
     MB/RISER0/XAUI0

So in ILOM, I try:

-> set /SYS/MB/RISER1/XAUI1 component_state=disabled
set: Invalid target /SYS/MB/RISER1/XAUI1

Next I try:

-> show /SP/faultmgmt/

  /SP/faultmgmt
     Targets:
         shell
         0 (/SYS/MB/RISER1/XAUI1)
         1 (/SYS/MB/RISER0/XAUI0)

However, ILOM faultmgmt shell reports no faults.

In the ILOM logs I read:

SP detected fault at time Fri Dec 20 15:53:00
2024. /SYS/MB/RISER0/XAUI0 Forced fail (POST)

I would appreciate it if someone could help me out how to get rid of
this error.  In those slots (XAUIO and XAUI1) I have no card
installed.


Best,
Irek
