 to improve system stability on Intel processor model 5400 when running Solaris 10 11/06 and Solaris 10 08/07 kernel patch 127112-05 should be applied. Patch 127112-05 is available at http://sunsolve.sun.com/show.do?target=patchpage
(2)

Limited to 32-bit support only.

  • In certain hardware configurations of these servers, processor hyperthreads may not be available under Solaris 10 1/06. The Solaris 10 6/06 release corrects this issue. 
  • In certain hardware configurations of these servers running the Solaris 10 1/06 release, some devices may not be recognized (such as the Smart Array controller) or Solaris may appear to hang during boot. A workaround for such symptoms is to set the "pci-reprog" option to a value of "off." This may be done on the GRUB "kernel" line (such as when booting Solaris from CD-ROM):

            kernel ... -B install-media=cdrom,pci-reprog=off

  • This option may need to be set during installation in order to successfully install the operating system. This option may also be persistently set using the eeprom (1M) command (once installation is complete). 
  • Kernel patch 118855-19 should be applied when running Solaris 10 1/06 or Solaris 10 6/06 on these servers in order to improve system stability when the following Intel Xeon processor models are used: 5110, 5120, 5130, 5140, 5150, and 5160.

 Solaris 10 media, prior to Solaris 10 5/09, does not contain a driver for the Embedded Ethernet adapter (NC326i with the Broadcom 5715s chipset). You can obtain the driver as follows:
A) For Servers running Solaris 10 10/08 or 5/08, use Sun patch 140120-01 available at: http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-21-140120-01-1
B) For Servers running Solaris 10 updates prior to 5/08, use the Broadcom NetXtreme Ethernet controller driver available at: http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/netxtreme_server.php

 Server Configured with a 6-Core Intel Xeon 7400 Series Processor will Panic and Reboot Continuously During an Installation of SUN Solaris 10 5/08 See Customer Advisory - c01554955 at:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?locale=en_US&objectID=c01554955
(5) Solaris 10 11/06 is not supported with Intel X5470, Intel L5430, & Intel X5270 processors
(6) Solaris 10 8/07 requires Solaris patch 127128-11 to boot in 64-bit mode for Intel X5470, Intel L5430, & Intel X5270 processors
(7) Solaris 10 11/06 is not supported with 6-Core Intel Xeon E7400 series processors
(8) Requires ProLiant Support Pack for Solaris 10 v8.30 or higher for Flex-10 support; Flex-10 support for Solaris 10 10/09 expected February 2010
(9) Requires Sun patch 138175-02 to support the embedded Intel NIC
NC362i Dual Port Gigabit Server Adapter
The patch is available at: http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-21-138175-02-1
