Solution  1003233.1 :   Sun[TM] Gigabit Ethernet 2.0 card config causes slow cpu speed at bootup on Ultra Enterprise[TM]  


PreviouslyPublishedAs
204443

Symptoms

When the Gigabit Ethernet 2.0 (GBE/P) 501-4373 card is configured in pcislot6 of an Ultra Enterprise[TM] 450, sporadic cpu/upa speed is set to low after powercycle. (Bug ID <BugID>4311907</BugID>)

i.e.:

ok .speed

It appears irrelevant which cpus are installed. If the machine boots with the right speed, there will be no failure or restriction for uptime.

Resolution

Two workarounds:

1. On failure halt the machine and powercycle it. Most UE450s will boot with the right speed because the failure is sporadic.

2. Install Gigabit Ethernet cards only in pci slots 4 and/or 5. SeeBug ID <BugID>4274774</BugID>

The maximum allowed number of cards is 2 on a system with 4-CPUs. The maximum is less for smaller configurations.
