Solution  1004888.1 :   Sun Fire[TM] 12K/15K: Memory Test timeouts at highest hpost levels  


PreviouslyPublishedAs
206852

Description
When running hpost at levels >= 96 and with low verbosity (and no postrc
trace_print commands), the memory testing will timeout.

Steps to Follow
With hpost level of 127 and default verbosity, timeout errors can be seen
similar to the errors shown here:

Proc SBxx/Px timed out on test Memory Tests id=0x3D. Test Failed.

FAIL Proc SBxx/Px: test_seq_cwd(): failed out of config on timeout
on SB 11, 13 and 15

WORKAROUND: Add "poll_timeout_mult 4" to .postrc file.

Product
Sun Fire 15K Server
Sun Fire 12K Server

Internal Comments
This will multiply all timeouts by 4, thus giving enough time for the test
to complete. The downside is that all timeout are multiplied by 4.

For any CPU which has 2GBytes or more memoryThe default timeout is 2400
seconds, but at these levels, it takes about 1.85 seconds per MByte of
memory, thus 2GByte on a CPU takes over 3600 seconds.

See BugID# 4514701 for more details.

Comment: Funny this document came through when I was looking. I am preparing a very similar one for a Domain Advanced Tests timeout failure with the same workaround...just different post failure. Anyway, this looks great.
