Hi Matt,

Taking this to fm-discuss

A defect.sunos.eft.undiagnosable_problem occurs when a hardened driver produces 
error telemetry for which we have no diagnosis rules.  In general this is a 
result of a bug in either the driver or the rules themselves.  In more rare 
instances, it can also occur if the hardware topology changes between when the 
telemetry is produced and when the diagnosis engine consumes it.

To debug it further we'd need a bit more information from you:

1) What build of opensolaris are you running?

2) What is the output of fmdump -V and fmdump -eV

3) what is the output of /usr/lib/fm/fmd/fmtopo -V

#2 and #3 could be large - probably better to include those as attachments

thanks,

rob
