Re: Netra T5220, ERROR: The following devices are disabled: MB/RISER1/XAUI1

Hi,

I bought an XAUI card (Sun 501-7489 10GB Ethernet), inserted it into 
RISER1, then RISER0, and the error now is gone.  However, the 
motherboard is still in the faulted state with the following errors:

SUN4-8000-LY
SUN4V-8000-L5

The server seems to work fine, and I'm not hoping to fix the above 
errors.  I'm just dropping a note for those interested.

Still for those interested, to make my primary domain (Solaris 11.3) 
recognize the interface, I had to:

# ldm set-var fix-xaui=yes primary
# ldm rm-var fix-xaui primary

In my switch (Mikrotik CSS326-24G-2S+RM), I inserted the Sun Oracle 
530-4449-01 10Gbit MM SR 850nm SPF module, and connected the two with a
MM LC/UPC fiber optic cable.  My logical domain OpenBSD 7.6 has a 
virtual network interface that is bridged to this XAUI.  Works good!

For a test, I assigned this XAUI to OpenBSD, that reports it as "niu", 
but offers no driver.  This is not surprising, because it's an unusual 
card.  I haven't seen anything like this before.

I'm impressed by the hardware and its virtualization, and that OpenBSD 
works so excellent.  But I can't help thinking, that it's a beautiful 
road to nowhere.


Best,
Irek
