Impact
The "cpumem-diagnosis" module may fail to load on E6900 / E4900 / E25K / E20K with
Solaris 10 causing the FMA daemon (fmd(1M)) to run in a degraded mode.
Systems will function correctly but events normally automatically diagnosed by FMA
using this module will require manual diagnosis.
Contributing Factors
This issue occurs on the following releases:
SPARC Platform

Solaris 10 with patch 118833-09 (or later) and without patch 124999-01

on the following platforms:

Sun Fire E6900 / E4900 / E25K / E20K Servers

Notes: This issue can occur on any release of Solaris but is more likely to occur on
systems with kernel patch 118833-09 or later which is the 4/06 U2 release.
And this issue can occur on any SPARC based platform but is much more likely on the
platforms listed above.
Symptoms
Error messages similar to the following occur during boot:
SUNW-MSG-ID: FMD-8000-2K, TYPE: Defect, VER: 1, SEVERITY: Minor
EVENT-TIME: Sat Sep 9 21:02:36 PDT 2006
PLATFORM: SUNW,Sun-Fire, CSN: -, HOSTNAME: xxxxxx
SOURCE: fmd-self-diagnosis, REV: 1.0
EVENT-ID: 8cd1cff2-8967-4569-ce1b-cc0a96592344
DESC: A Solaris Fault Manager component has experienced an error that
required the module to be disabled.
Refer to http://sun.com/msg/FMD-8000-2K for more information.
AUTO-RESPONSE: The module has been disabled. Events destined for the
module will be saved for manual diagnosis.
IMPACT: Automated diagnosis and response for subsequent events
associated
with this module will not occur.

REC-ACTION: Use fmdump -v -u <EVENT-ID> to locate the module.

Use fmadm reset <module> to reset the module.

Workaround
fmd(1M) can be restarted with the command "svcadm restart fmd". Run "fmadm config"
to make sure the cpumem-diagnosis module is active. Execute "fmadm repair
fmd:///module/cpumem-diagnosis" to clear errors.
Example output on running "fmadm config":
# fmadm config
