It is difficult to say whether a M3000 would also fail to install a standard patchset.
I have patched a number of different hardware models with the latest patchsets without any problems except for the T2000. I also know of others, like yourself, who have hit the same problem.
Although I have not read every last detail about the latest patchset, Oracle do not seem to issue any specific warning about the T2000 falling over. However, without the latest OBP, it seems that is does.
Sadly, I have no experience with the M3000 model.
I would guess (and it is a guess) that you would not have any similar issue with a M3000, but absolutely no guarantees given. It depends on how much inconvenience it will cause you to recover a similar failure to patch as to whether you bring the OBP, etc up to date first.
Hope that helps.

Hi all.

This may be a stupid question, but I don't want to take any chances.
I have a Sun T2000 in production. I want to run the "resetsc" command on the ALOM controller to active an IP address change. Will resetting ALOM affect the running OS?

sckmd(1M) System Administration Commands sckmd(1M)
NAME
sckmd - Sun Fire High-End system key management daemon
SYNOPSIS
/usr/platform/SUNW,Sun-Fire-15000/lib/sckmd
DESCRIPTION
sckmd is a server process that resides on a Sun Fire high-end system domain. sckmd maintains the Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) Secu-
rity Associations (SAs) needed to secure the communication between the Sun Fire 15K System Controller (SC) and the cvcd(1M) and dcs(1M)
daemons running on a Sun Fire 15K domain. See ipsec(7P) for a description of Security Associations.
sckmd receives SAs from the SC and provides these SAs to the Security Association Databases (SADBs) using pf_key(7P).
sckmd normally starts up at system boot time. Each domain supports only one running sckmd process at a time.
FILES

NOTES
IPsec is used by Sun Fire high-end systems such as a Sun Fire 15K, to secure the communication between the SC, and the cvcd(1M) and dcs(1M)
daemons running on a domain. System-wide IPsec policies for these daemons are configured on a domain with ipsecconf(1M). Default policies
are defined when the SUNWsckmr package is installed on a Sun Fire high-end system domain at OS install time.
Package SUNWsckmr configures default system-wide policies for cvcd(1M) and dcs(1M) by adding the following entries in
/etc/inet/ipsecinit.conf:
{ dport sun-dr ulp tcp } permit
{ auth_alg md5 }
{ sport sun-dr ulp tcp } apply
{ auth_alg md5 sa unique }
{ dport cvc_hostd ulp tcp } permit
{ auth_alg md5 }
{ sport cvc_hostd ulp tcp } apply
{ auth_alg md5 sa unique }
The cvc_hostd service represents cvcd(1M) and the sun-dr service represents dcs(1M) in the preceding entries.
These policies conform to the format defined by ipsec(7P) and require and require IPsec AH protection using the HMAC-MD5 algorithm. See
ipsecah(7P).
System-wide policies for cvcd(1M) and dcs(1M) configured on a domain using ipsecconf(1M) must match the IPsec policies defined for these
services on the SC. On an SC, IPsec policies for these services are defined by the SMS key management daemon. Refer to thekmd(1M) man page
in the System Management Services (SMS) Reference Manual.
IPsec encryption or authentication with encryption can be enabled on the domain using the encr_algs and encr_auth_algs properties, as
described in the ipsecconf(1M) manual page. For example, the following ipsecconf(1M) entries require IPsec ESP protection using the Triple-
DES encryption algorithm and the HMAC-MD5 authentication algorithm.
{ dport cvc_hostd ulp tcp } permit
{ encr_algs 3des encr_auth_algs md5 }
{ sport cvc_hostd ulp tcp } apply
{ encr_algs 3des encr_auth_algs md5 sa unique }
See ipsecesp(7P) for more information on the IPsec ESP protocol. You can obtain a list of authentication and encryption algorithms and
their properties by using the ipsecalgs(1M) command.
