Workaround There is no workaround. Please see the Resolution section below. Resolution These issues are addressed in the following releases:
Important Notes: This Maintenance release contains the necessary patches for the SP along with the above patches. The maintenance release is available via Storade through Patchpro or via CDROM from your local office. Please contact your local Sun Service Center to open a service request to schedule an update. The process is the same as scheduling an install. Please see patch READMEs for s complete list of CRs addressed in this upgrade. References<SUNPATCH: 118396-52><SUNPATCH: 116931-18> Previously Published As 102789 Internal Comments The migration process can be completed without disrupting system operation. The time required to complete the upgrade is dependent on the size of the configuration and the workload from the customer's applications. If physical disk drive updates are required, they will take approximately 1.5 minutes per drive. Each 2X2 array unit will take approximately 50 minutes. Each 2X4 array unit will take approximately 70 minutes. A 2up DSP configuration will take 90 minutes. A 4up DSP will take approximately 130 minutes. The service processor upgrade takes approximately 25 minutes.
