faulted but still in service
FRU : "IOBD" (hc:///component=IOBD)
faulty
Description : A problem has been detected on one of the specified devices or on
one of the specified connecting buses.
Refer to http://sun.com/msg/PCIEX-8000-G2 for more information.
Response : One or more device instances may be disabled
Impact : Loss of services provided by the device instances associated with
this fault
Action : Ensure that the latest drivers and patches are installed.
Otherwise schedule a repair procedure to replace the affected
device(s). Use fmadm faulty to identify the devices or contact
Sun for support.
try to reset the message with "fmadm repair or repaired" (depends on your solaris version). after that have a look if the message reappears. also check the output of "fmstat" for growing events on the specific fmri.
the provided path (pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@2/network@0) points to the onboard network interface "net2 on the backside or e1000g2 in solaris". so if the hardware is really faulty, you'll need a new motherboard!
network problems (on switch side or cable) can be root cause of the message. so resetting the message and checking for reappearence would be my first shoot!
