Any other special or non-generic installation instructions should be described below. Special Install Instructions: ----------------------------- Note: Assume e10000-cb0 is the primary control board hostname. PROM Image Upgrade Procedure: 1. Install the patch on the main SSP. The flash_boot.ima file is installed in the directory: /opt/SUNWssp/cbobjs 2. Stop all SSP processes (note that all your netcon sessions will be terminated): # /etc/init.d/ssp stop 3. Erase the prom (this will take several minutes): # /opt/SUNWssp/bin/cb_prom -e -h e10000-cb0 Erasing PROM... complete. 4. Program the prom with Version 3.47: /opt/SUNWssp/bin/cb_prom -p /opt/SUNWssp/cbobjs/flash_boot.ima -h e10000-cb0 Programming PROM... complete. 5. Restart the SSP processes: # /etc/init.d/ssp start Monitor the platform messages log and check for the correct prom version as in the following example: Dec 18 15:56:30 xf4-cb0 cbe: NOTICE: MT! initiated Prom Version = 3.47 6. Check the PROM version after you see the "Startup of SSP programs complete" message in the platform log: ssp% cb_prom -r -h e10000-cb0 Checking PROM revision... 3.47 7. If you have a spare control board, repeat steps #2 - 6 using its hostname instead of the hostname of the primary control board. 8. If you have a spare SSP, install the patch on the spare SSP and no further action is required. README -- Last modified date: Thursday, December 21, 2000
