Description

When installing a PCI
expansion unit by PCI hot plug
(PHP), among PCI expansion
unit slots 6, 7, 10 and 11, those
without HBA will have
command execution result
"disconnected" instead of
"empty" for the Oracle Solaris
cfgadm(1M) command.
Although the display is not
appropriate, the slots work
normally if you mount HBA.
This phenomenon does not
occur if you restart the logical
domain after connecting the PCI
expansion unit.
Workaround
This is just a display problem
and does not affect operation.
