I've just been doing some regular maintenance on my Solaris 11 box. I issued a pkg update command to be told that I needed to update pkg. This I did, and rebooted into solaris-1.

I then issued another pkg update, and it downloaded and installed about 600MB worth of packages. However, on rebooting into solaris-2, it fails to boot stating:

SunOS Release 5.11 Version 11.0 64-bit
Copyright (c) 1983, 2011, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.
NMI received
WARNING: intel_iommu0: generated a fault event when translating DMA read
         on address 0x40000 for PCI(9, 0, 0), the reason is:
         The Read field in a page-table entry is Clear when DMA read
WARNING: cpqary30: domid 3 pte: 0(paddr 0)
WARNING: CPQary3 : Smart Array P212 Controller HBA firmware Locked !!!

WARNING: CPQary3 :Please reboot the system

It then coredumps and reboots.

I've tried adding intel-iommu=no to the existing grub -B arguments, to read:

-B intel-iommu=no,$ZFS-ARGS

but, this doesn't make any difference.

Hardware is an HP X1600 with a Smart Array P212 controller.

What's going on?

scanpci -v shows PCI(9,0,0) as:

I appear to have solved this.

I disabled Intel VT-d and Intel Virtualization in the BIOS, and all seems to work now.
