Symptoms
Sun Blades with 550Mhz or 650Mhz CPU's will experience the following errors:
 SUNW_piclenvd: can't open 'cpu' sensor path:/pci@1f,0/pmu@3/i2c@0,0/temperature@30:die_temp errno:2 No such file or directory
SUNW_piclenvd: can't open 'cpu-ambient' sensor path:/pci@1f,0/pmu@3/i2c@0,0/temperature@30:amb_temp errno:2 No such file or directory
SUNW_piclenvd: initialization failed!

And initial diagnosis might indicate CPU replacement.



Resolution
Sun Blade[TM] 150 sunw_piclenvd Cannot Open CPU Sensorpath

Sun release patch 112233-12 () with support for the pmbus available on the Blade 150, however this was not tested with the 550Mhz CPU's and causes the following errors:

sunw_piclenvd cannot open cpu sensorpath

so basically this action needs to be taken:

Patch 117165-01 ()  should be added to the machine, and if the system still has the same behavior do the following as a workaround suggested from Bug ID:  5012902 () .



Relief/Workaround
 cp -R -p /devices/pci@1f,0/pmu@3/i2c@0  /devices/pci@1f,0/pmu@3/i2c@0,0
cp -R -p /devices/pci@1f,0/pmu@3/fan-control@c8:sys_fan
/devices/pci@1f,0/pmu@3/fan-control@0,c8:sys_fan
cp -R -p /devices/pci@1f,0/pmu@3/fan-control@c8:cpu_fan
/devices/pci@1f,0/pmu@3/fan-control@0,c8:cpu_fan

If boot -r or devfsadm this machine is needed, redo the above step again.



Additional Information
A cleaner workaround is to remove

/platform/SUNW,Sun-Blade-100/kernel/drv/sparcv9/pmubus
