Does this mean it is the PCI-X bus? And/or a device on that bus? It makes sense if so, because the e1000g3 is on an Intel quad port PCI-X adapter on the only PCI-X bus on the system. And I had severe issues with a client connected to that port. But could a port issue really crash the system? Wouldn't it be more likely that it is the bus?

First step will be that I'll change the connections to that port to another port on the same nic, and see if it'll be some changes.

If I still got problems, I'll change the nic to a similar, and if that doesn't help, I put another nic on a PCIe-bus instead.







That's these flags from pcie_impl.h (viewable from the source, it's not an installed system header file):

#define PF_ERR_NO_ERROR         (1 << 0) /* No error seen */
#define PF_ERR_NO_PANIC         (1 << 2) /* Error should not panic sys */
#define PF_ERR_PANIC            (1 << 6) /* Error should panic system */
#define PF_ERR_MATCH_DOM        (1 << 9) /* Error Handled By IO domain */

That's a lot of flags set, and all of this flag-setting happens during a fault scan of the PCIe bus (see pcie_fault.c, especially starting with pf_scan_fabric() and its descendants).

I'd be inclined to say this is a HW error, especially given your e1000g3 device complained, per here:

NOTICE: e1000g3 link down
NOTICE: vnic1000 link down
NOTICE: e1000g3 link up, 100 Mbps, full duplex
NOTICE: vnic1000 link up, 100 Mbps, unknown duplex
NOTICE: SUNW-MSG-ID: SUNOS-8000-0G, TYPE: Error, VER: 1, SEVERITY: Major
