| I've just patched my Blade 2000 and noticed the following error. But on looking more closely, I see it has happened before, so I doubt it is the result of a patch. I'm not noticing any ill effects, but am obviously concerned there might be. The machine has: 2 x 1.2 GHz CPUs 2 x 147 GB fiber disks (not Sun ones) 8 GB RAM. USB-2 card 2 x Western Digital 1 TB external disks (SATA disks, connected to the USB-2 card). Internal SCSI card DDS-4 tape drive. IDE based DVD-rewriter, on a SCSI->IDE converter. SunPCi III card Doing a Google, I have seen others report similar messages, although no conclusive idea of what it really means. Is there a way to get the OBP version without rebooting the machine? (I know the cause of the samba / port 137 issue below, and am not worried about that. More worrying is the hardware related warning of 'SEVERITY: Critical') Dae Jul 17 09:58:40 kestrel xntpd[267]: [ID 266339 daemon.notice] using kernel phase-lock loop 0041, drift correction 0.00000 Jul 17 09:58:40 kestrel xntpd[267]: [ID 266339 daemon.notice] using kernel phase-lock loop 0041, drift correction -19.89700 Jul 17 09:58:55 kestrel svc.startd[7]: [ID 652011 daemon.warning] svc:/network/wins:default: Method "/usr/bin/kill `cat /var/samba/locks/nmbd.pid`" failed with exit status 2.

Like you do, I'm not missing any functionality. You can get the OBP version executing /usr/sbin/prtdiag -v. |

Thanks a lot. I see some reference to an OBP upgrade fixing it. I would try that, but my UPS died some time back and I seem to have a pretty unreliable mains supply over the last 6 months. Hence not over keen to risk it! Anyway, for your info, this is the versions I have. I'm not sure if they are the latest or not. I guess we should look at the Solaris source code and see what it might disable. It could be something like the cache of a cpu, which affects performance but not functionality. I wish the message was a bit more explicit about what it is disabling. System PROM revisions: ---------------------- OBP 4.16.4 2004/12/18 05:18 POST 4.16.3 2004/11/05 20:02 |

A lot of people encountered this (google), including myself on my Blade 1000. It first occurred 2 months or so ago. I guess this has something to do with recent patches. I have Prom 4.16.4 installed and according to sunsolve there is nothing newer available. |
