Symptoms
The SPARC T5-4/T5-8 server has generated an FMA event with error code PCIEX-8000-V2, the event itself does not panic the system but a noticeable performance degradation is observered from a Pallene-Q PCIE card.
The output of Solaris command "prtdiag -v" shows that the Pallene-Q HBA is running at 4 lanes
/SYS/RCSA/PCIE10 PCIE SUNW,qlc-pciex1077,2532 QLE2562 2.5GTx4 /pci@480/pci@1/pci@0/pci@4/SUNW,qlc@0/SYS/RCSA/PCIE10 PCIE SUNW,qlc-pciex1077,2532 QLE2562 2.5GTx4 /pci@480/pci@1/pci@0/pci@4/SUNW,qlc@0,1
We expect the output of the Solaris command "prtidag-v" for the Pallene-Q HBA to be running at 8 lanes
/SYS/RCSA/PCIE10 PCIE SUNW,qlc-pciex1077,2532 QLE2562 2.5GTx8 /pci@480/pci@1/pci@0/pci@4/SUNW,qlc@0/SYS/RCSA/PCIE10 PCIE SUNW,qlc-pciex1077,2532 QLE2562 2.5GTx8 /pci@480/pci@1/pci@0/pci@4/SUNW,qlc@0,1
The ILOM fault management shell ( faultmgmt ) was flagging the HBA card on the PCIE Carrier Assembly as faulty.
