Solution 1002596.1 : Sun Fire[TM] V1280 - "prtdiag" might not show environmental output for a new System Board

Applies to:

Sun Fire V1280 Server - Version All Versions and later
All Platforms

Symptoms

When a CPU/memory board is newly installed, the system may not show correct SB and environment information (eg. Temperature/Fan data) in "prtdiag" output correctly.

In this example situation below, SB4 is newly installed into a Sun Fire[TM] V1280 system after a normal boot. The following is the prtdiag output.

Cause

picld issue

Solution

The workaround for this situation is to shutdown the system and reconfigure-boot the system (boot -r).
It is also recommended to make sure the picl patch is updated (see <SunPatch:111792-17> ) on the system in question.

NOTE: This issue was reported on Solaris 8 and ScApp 5.18.x, but it is not thought to occur on any other configuration.
