In this Document
Oracle Confidential (PARTNER). Do not distribute to customers. Applies to:Sun StorageTek VSM System - Version 4 to 5C [Release 4.0 to 5.0]Information in this document applies to any platform. __________ See affected part numbers in "Cause" section below. SymptomsIf more than one card fails, the VSM5 system operation may be severely degraded or non-functional. Impact VCF4 cards in the VSM5 may fail to initialize correctly on power up, necessitating replacement of the card. ChangesContributing Factors Specific VCF4 cards shipped in the VSM5 platform as identified in the Customer List are impacted. The following VCF4 card serial numbers and serial number ranges (not containing GSAP 5627 label) are impacted: 74000780-74001658 CauseAffected Parts: (FRU/CRU Part Number / Description) Part Number Description Superseded Part Numbers 315234901 VCF4-4K ASSEMBLY,LONGWAVE 315234602, 315234603, 315234604, 315235001 VCF4-10K ASSEMBLY,LONGWAVE 315233603, 315233604, 315233605, 315235101 VCF4 ASSEMBLY,SHORTWAVE 315233703, 315233704, 315233705, Design defect in the Micron DDR memory. The design flaw was corrected by the vendor in chip as of date-code 49-2011 (and later). Regional Stocking Locations (RSLs) were purge beginning on September 1, 2011 via GSAP 5627.A. SolutionTarget Completion Date: 2 years from deployment start Workaround The only work-around is to avoid power cycling the VSM before affected cards have been replaced. Resolution Proactively replace suspect VCF4 cards per customer list and if card serial numbers are in the affected ranges listed above. Refer to the VSM service manual for detailed procedures. Affected End-User Customer Lists are being managed by, and available from, the Regional FCO Deployment Managers listed below. APAC - Alvin Lim Do not proactively engage any customer to begin remediation activities without first obtaining agreement from your Regional FCO Deployment Manager, who is micro-managing this deployment due to limited available material. Defective Material Return Instructions: check Bad/Suspect box on Return Label and write 316 to the right of FCO# field.
VSM5 systems which may have one or more VCF4 cards with chips with the suspect date codes are listed in the customer list. Follow the below steps in order to identify the VCF4 cards in a system. Display VSM5 VCF4 Serial Number 1. Connect to the VSM5 using DOP (Detached Operator Panel) Note that the FRU ID only lists six digits, so only those are displayed on the panel and in the machine FRU file. Compare VCF4 card serial numbers from the above steps to those shown in the Contributing Factors section above. Hardware Remediation and Material Availability Details Seedstock is limited and therefore remediation is divided in two phases. The first phase will be to proactively remediate systems identified in the Phase 1 tab of the Customer List, and then remediate all other impacted, contracted systems identified in the Phase 2 tab of the Customer List. Comments Ensure you do not remove the compact optical transceivers or SFPs (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) from the defective VCF4 cards. When these cards are returned missing these components it drastically extends the repair cycle of the VCF card. The following part numbers were ordered as seedstock to support this FCO activity; 315234902 - VCF4-4K Assy, Longwave (or new part number 7012376) References ECO: W08241101 Contacts:
