Cause

During the first reboot of the system with Solaris 11.4 in place, the kernel modules of the previous Solaris 11.x version will try to load. This triggers these symbol messages for drivers such as VxFS and odm.

Once the reboot completes, these symbol messages should not be seen during subsequent reboots.

Resolution

These symbol messages can be ignored and should only be seen during the first reboot of the system after upgrading its Operating System to Solaris 11.4.

If these messages are seen during subsequent reboots and/or any mis-behaviour is observed, please contact Veritas Technical Support for further assistance.
