Understanding PCI Express Maximum Payload Size on OpenSolaris
When PCI Express fabrics are configured properly, PCIe protocol efficiency and performance can be improved in OpenSolaris. Consider a device's payload capabilities as one of the performance parameters when configuring each fabric.
Hi,
I am using Aitech sata device sil3132, on powerpc mpc8641. The device is pci express msi compatible. I had enabled msi in device tree for powerpc but still its giving me Cannot translate IRQ index 0 and so on messages.

I am at a loss with a VIO server running ios 2.2.0.10-FP-24 SP-01. The VIO server is fitted with two 8Gb PCI Express Dual Port FC Adapters. However when I run the lsnports command only two of the adapter ports show as capable:

Hi All,
- block size of 512KB & every address requires 4 bits

I'm floundering here trying to locate a PCI-E 1x HBA that will support an external tape drive in SCO Openserver 6. I was unable to find anything that would work in the compatible hardware list and a call to Adaptec confirmed that PCI-X would've been a better option for the risers in the Dell 2950... (1 Reply)

Hi,
When i checked for the maximum file size on solaris 5.9
the max file size obtained was only 2147483647
and all the further writes to the file which had reached that max size is not added to that file.
even i had registered the signal SIGXFSZ, but the signal was not delivered to the... (5 Replies)

- ARC-1680i PCI Express 8 Port SAS RAID Controller
- ARC-1680x PCI Express 8 Port SAS RAID Controller
- ARC-1681 PCI-X 8 Port SAS RAID Controller
These controllers support RAID levels 0, 1, 1E, 3, 5, 6, and JBOD using either SAS or SATA II drives.
arcmsr supports management and monitoring of the controller through the bioctl(8) and envstat(8) commands.
Please note, however, that to use some features that require special privileges, such as creating/removing hot-spares, pass-through disks or
RAID volumes will require to have the password disabled in the firmware; otherwise a Permission denied error will be reported by bioctl(8).
When a RAID 1 or 1+0 volume is created, either through the bioctl(8) command or controller's firmware, the volume won't be accessible until
the initialization is done. A way to get access to the sd(4) device that corresponds to that volume without rebooting, is to issue the fol-
lowing command (once the initialization is finished):
$ scsictl scsibus0 scan any any
The arcmsr driver will also report to the kernel log buffer any error that might appear when handling firmware commands, such as used by the
bioctl(8) command.
EVENTS
The arcmsr driver is able to send events to powerd(8) if a volume or any drive connected to the volume is not online. The state-changed
event will be sent to the /etc/powerd/scripts/sensor_drive script when such condition happens.
