| Memory error after replacing/adding memory modules. |
After adding or moving memory between x4150 servers the errors similar to the following are seen:
Error (519D): Unsupported AMB Vendor: DIMM_D1
|
There are new DIMMs available that require updated firmware for the system to recognize them as supported memory.
Resolution: Update to the Latest ILOM/BIOS firmware
|
| Disks are not recognized when using the STK Internal Raid Controller. |
Disks will not be recognized if not initialized first when using the STK Internal Raid HBA.
|
Sun StorageTek card requires the user to initialize each disk and create a volume before the disk will be seen by the system BIOS.
See the "Sun StorageTek SAS RAID HBA Installation Guide" for details

| X4150/X4250 server populated with 2GB Qimonda DIMMs running Solaris may see a panic occur. |
A system experiencing this issue will log FMA data similar to the following at the time of the panic:
Mar 01 13:07:00.6156 ereport.cpu.intel.nb.fbd.otf
|
A system panic due to this issue is caused by the way that Solaris interprets and responds to the CRC reports and this behavior can be modified via an IDR patch or /etc/system entry. Replacement of the physical DIMMs is not required to address this behavior.
Resolution: Update ILOM/BIOS firmware to latest and add following line to the /etc/system file of the server and then reboot.
set intel_nb5000:nb5000_mask_bios_fbd=7
