probe-scsi-all hangs on Solaris Sparc (4045956)

Date: Oct 08
Product & Version: All
OS Version: Sun Solaris (all versions)
Module & Version: N/A
Application version: N/A

Symptoms:
In order to identify issues with SCSI devices, you might be asked by Customer Support to reboot your machine to the ok prompt and issue the command "probe-scsi-all". In certain configurations, this can lead to the machine hanging.

Reason:
The Sun documentation states:
"Caution - If you used the halt command or the L1-A (Stop-A) key sequence to reach the ok prompt, then issuing the probe-scsi or probe-scsi-all command can hang the system."
The reason is that the system has not been physically rebooted before issuing the command if Stop-A or halt are used.
