In this Document
Applies to:Sun Fire V890 Server - Version: Not ApplicableSolaris SPARC Operating System - Version: 10 10/09 U8 and later [Release: 10.0 and later] Sun Fire V215 Server - Version: Not Applicable and later [Release: N/A and later] Sun Fire V210 Server - Version: Not Applicable and later [Release: N/A and later] Sun Blade 1500 Workstation - Version: Not Applicable and later [Release: N/A and later] Information in this document applies to any platform. __________________ Date of Resolved Release: 28-Oct-2011 _________________________________ DescriptionSolaris 10 on UltraSPARC III systems with patch 147159-01 fail to load the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) kernel module with 'undefined symbol' errors. Depending upon the system configuration, this failure can occur at boot time or when an attempt is made to use the AES kernel module for encryption. This makes the kernel AES module unavailable for encryption. Common uses of this module includes encrypt(1), ipsec(7p), ipsecesp(7p), sshd(1M), and ssh(1). Likelihood of OccurrenceThis issue can occur in the following releases: SPARC Platform UltraSPARC III
1. x86 platforms are not affected by this issue. sun4v and sun4us systems are not affected by this issue. 2. Solaris 8, Solaris 9, and Solaris 11 Express are not impacted by this issue. 3. Systems with any of the variants of the UltraSPARC III family of processors (III, IIIi, IIIi+) are all affected by this issue. 4. To determine if a system has an affected UltraSPARC III processor, execute the following command: $ prtdiag | grep UltraSPARC-III
0 1281 MHz 1MB SUNW,UltraSPARC-IIIi 2.4 on-line Possible SymptomsMessages similar to the following are seen when the kernel AES module fails to load: unix: /platform/SUNW-XXXXXXXXX/kernel/crypto/sparcv9/aes256: undefined symbol Workaround or ResolutionTo avoid this issue, do not install patch 147159-01/147159-02 onto UltraSPARC III systems. If these patches are installed on the systems, they can be removed using patchrm(1M). A better recommendation is to update to patch 147159-03 or newer. This issue is addressed in the following release: SPARC Platform
