Unless you have many, many, many errors consecutively, Sun probably won't replace it though. That has been my experience. (At least with a smaller company. When with the gov't they seemed to get what they wanted, and the same with a Fortune 500 company I worked for. Big gets, small frets ).

they require 6 different errors within a 24hr period on soft errors. then they will replace it. If you whine enough they will replace it even with it going against their policy. Done it

KHz is right though, they attempt to be pretty hard nose, even if you are an internal employee @Sun, getting it replaced is not easy.

There are always ways arounnd it, if you want it replaced, you can get it replaced.

if you only have a few soft errors, I really wouldn't be rushing to call to open a case, give it some time to see if it was an isolated issue. If they continue then 1-800-usa-4-sun, providing you are in the US.

but arent sticky soft errors permanent/unrecoverable hardware errors ?
