Solution  1008645.1 :   src/p card causes Sun Enterprise[TM] 450 to fail boot with upa-port error.

Symptoms

Enterprise 450 is loaded with Solaris[TM] 2.x and is fully functional.
The src/p IO card is added to the appropriate slot in the back of
the 450, and cabled to the middle 8 drive back plane of the array
The addition of the card is verified at the Open Boot Prom level.
Diagnostics such as "probe-scsi-all" and "obdiag" appropriately
identify the card. However reboot of the system now fails with:
warning: pci6:no upa-port id property
The only way to get the system to boot again is to remove the
card from the slot.

Resolution
The problem is solved at the OBP level. The minimum PROM revision
required for the src/p card is 3.12.12. In this particular case, the
PROM version was 3.5. By installing patch 106122-06 (or later) and
upgrading the PROM to the latest level, (in this case 3.16.2), the
system booted up normally.

Note: the same PROM requirement exist for the E250. The PROM upgrade
patch is 106503-04 or later.
