I opened a case with Sun, the engineer opened a bug, they found that the bug was a duplicate so closed the new one. The fix is supposedly complete but won't be available until Sol 10 update 9 (which I thought was available). In case you are interested the bug is CR6797442. Not as much detail as you received in your ticket but neither is complete.

Contacted Sun Support and they told me to back out Emulex patch 141876-05. FMA support was introduced in 141876-03 and apparently something broke it already in 141876-05. We never had any revisions of 141876 installed before, so after removing 141876-05, we are now back to Emulex patch 139608-05 with no fmd issues. I guess we have to wait for 141876-06 before trying patching Emulex HBA drivers again. Hannu
