SPARC T7-2 - Version All Versions to All Versions [Release All Releases]
SPARC T7-4 - Version All Versions to All Versions [Release All Releases]

Symptoms

SPARC T7-x systems support a single model of 7319817 ethernet card based on the Fortville B1 silicon. The B0 silicon based card is not support on SPARC T7 systems.

When flashed with FCode 3.3 (or earlier) Solaris will incorrectly report the cards as the B0 variant which is not supported on SPARC T7.

Fortville B1 card as reported by ILOM;

/System/PCI_Devices/Add-on/Device_1
Properties:
part_number = 7319817
description = Oracle Quad 10 Gb or Dual 40 Gb Ethernet Adapter
location = PCIE1 (PCIe Slot 1)
pci_vendor_id = 0x8086
pci_device_id = 0x1583
pci_subvendor_id = 0x108e
pci_subdevice_id = 0x7b1d

prtconf reports the same card as a B0 silicon version;

Cause

Quad 10-Gigabit or Dual 40-Gigabit Ethernet QSFP+, part number 7319817, based on the Fortville B1 silicon require FCode 3.6.
