CR ID Description Workaround
6449315 The Solaris cfgadm(1M) command does not
unconfigure a DVD drive from a domain on a
Sun SPARC Enterprise M8000/M9000 server.
Disable the Volume Management Daemon
(vold) before unconfiguring a DVD drive with
the cfgadm(1M) command. To disable vold,
stop the daemon by issuing the command
/etc/init.d/volmgt stop. After the device
has been removed or inserted, restart the
daemon by issuing the command
/etc/init.d/volmgt start.
6459540 The DAT72 internal tape drive might time out
during tape operations.
The device might also be identified by the
system as a QIC drive.
Add the following definition to
/kernel/drv/st.conf:
tape-config-list=
"SEAGATE DAT DAT72-000",
"SEAGATE_DAT____DAT72-000",
"SEAGATE_DAT____DAT72-000";
SEAGATE_DAT____DAT72-000=
1,0x34,0,0x9639,4,0x00,0x8c,0x8c,
0x8c,3;
There are four spaces between SEAGATE DAT
and DAT72-000.
6511374 Memory translation warning messages might
appear during boot if memory banks were
disabled due to excessive errors.
After the system is rebooted, the fmadm
repair command can be used to prevent a
recurrence of the problem on the next boot.

DR.
