Special Install Instructions: ----------------------------- This patch has following files: FWupdate FWBin/CP2160.SPARC.1.0.2_SMC.4.0.9.README FWBin/CP2160.SPARC.1.0.2_SMC.4.0.9 FWBin/CP2160.SPARC.1.0.2 FWBin/CP2160.SMC.4.0.9 .FWupdate.info It has the supporting tool for updating the SPARC and/or SMC firmwares. Tool Name : FWupdate Purpose : To initiate system firmware update (SPARCFW & SMCFW) at Solaris level. User : Must be Super User to execute this script Usage : FWupdate [-h] FWupdate [-F] -f -d -t -h : Help, show usage -F : To Force the update when the Firmware is being downgraded -f : Complete filepath & filename specified by following argument -t : Type of Firmware binary. Possible options={sparc, smc, sparc+smc} -d : Complete path of device node or device alias specifying the device where file is located If disk is specified, the file must be in the root directory. Also, the file cannot of a Symbolic link Points of interest: 1) The complete filepath & filename must be specified using -f option. 2) Use -d option to specify the device from which the file may be loaded. User may specify the device either using a OBP device alias or using the complete path to the device node. 3) If the file is located on a local disk then it must be in the root directory and must not be a symbolic link. 4) The tool performs a check on the version of SPARC Firmware. If a downgrade is detected then the script would notify the user. A downgrade can only be updated using the force (-F) option. 5) Tool does not performs a check on SMCFW version. 6) Update script FWupdate and info file FWupdate.info must be in same directory. Sample usage: Example 1: FWupdate -f /CP2160.SPARC.1.0.2_SMC.4.0.9 -d net -t sparc+smc File is located on the NFS and is combined OBP & SMC image Example 2: FWupdate -f /CP2160.SPARC.1.0.2_SMC.4.0.9 -d disk -t sparc+smc File is on a local disk in root directory and is combined OBP & SMC image Example 3: FWupdate -f /CP2160.SMC.4.0.9 -d disk -t smc File is SMC flash binary located on local disk and is SMC image README -- Last modified date: Tuesday, November 18, 2003
