Patch-ID# 115846-05 Keywords: sun fire v440 netra 440 Synopsis: Hardware/PROM: Sun Fire V440 and Netra 440 Flash PROM Update Date: Oct/04/2004 Install Requirements: Additional instructions may be listed below Solaris Release: 8 9 SunOS Release: 5.8 5.9 Unbundled Product: Hardware/PROM NOTE: If you have the frame buffer Raptor GFXP -04 REV 50 (part 370-3753-04), you *must* install patch 110126-03 to upgrade the FCode in the card **BEFORE** you can do the firmware update. Revisions -05 and up of the frame buffer are not affected. Failure to install the frame buffer patch (110126-03) will cause "FATAL" resets after the firmware update. NOTE: This utility is *not* OS-dependent. The list of releases shown under the "Solaris Release" and "SunOS Release" sections may not be complete: The absence of a valid Solaris Release or SunOS Release from the lists above does not preclude the installation of this patch against the hardware. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE * * * * MODIFICATIONS TO DIAGNOSTIC OPERATION * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * This released version of OpenBoot enables diagnostic execution for all power-on and error reset events, **as the new system default. **To implement this new policy, behavioral changes to diagnostic controls were made to simplify the enabling of diagnostics and controlling the level and verbosity of diagnostics. A new feature includes a Sun-prescribed mode of diagnostic execution, which overrides user-defined settings. This mode provides service personnel with an easy method by which to invoke a predictable execution of diagnostics. NOTE: The new standard (default) configuration will increase system boot time ( measured from power-on to the `ok>` prompt ) and messaging ( varies by system configuration ) for all `power-on-reset` and OBP detected `error-reset` events. Increased boot time and messaging is largely due to the execution of diagnostics. Automated System Recovery (ASR), a form of restoration, is implemented at the firmware layer and increases overall system availability when diagnostics are enabled. For more specific details regarding these OBP changes, reference the pdf document; "OpenBoot[tm] PROM Enhancements for Diagnostic Operation", included within this patch ( part 817-6957, July 2004 ). Unbundled Release: OBP 4.16.1,POST 4.16.1,OBDIAG 4.16.1 NOTE: See frame buffer note above.

Summary of the Patch Installation Process: ------------------------------------------ The installation shall comprise of the following steps 1) Determine the system's current Flash PROM firmware revision. 2) Compare the current Flash PROM firmware revision with the available or latest Flash PROM firmware revisions. 3) If the current Flash PROM firmware revision is lower than the latest available firmware revision in this patch, then proceed to the next step. If NOT, STOP: DO NOT CONTINUE. 4) Prepare the system for the Flash PROM update 5) Running the Flash PROM Utility 6) Verifying successful Flash PROM Update 7) Restoring the system 8) Resume operations Patch Installation instructions (in detail): ============================================ The required steps are explained in greater detail below. 1) Determine the System's Current Firmware Revisions ------------------------------------------------- While the OS is running the following command may be used to determine the current system firmware revisions; /usr/sbin/prtconf -V or /usr/platform/sun4u/sbin/prtdiag -v | grep OBP The firmware revisions may also be determined from the PROM monitor's "ok" prompt with the following command; .version 2) Compare the current Flash PROM firmware revision with the available or latest Flash PROM firmware revisions. Compare the output of the OBP line in the "prtdiag -v" or "prtconf -V" output. Find the revision number and compare with the revision on the entries below that of the "flash-update-SunFire440-latest" line Available Firmware Revisions ---------------------------- -LATEST flash-update-SunFire440-latest OBP 4.16.1 2004/09/03 04:22 Sun Fire V440,Netra 440 POST 4.16.1 2004/09/03 11:32 -04 flash-update-SunFire440-04 OBP 4.13.2 2004/03/29 10:11 Sun Fire V440,Netra 440 POST 4.13.0 2004/01/16 12:35 3) Is the UPGRADE NECESSARY? If the current Flash PROM revision matches the version numbers given under the flash-update-SunFire440-latest line, then STOP Here. This UPGRADE IS NOT NECESSARY. If the current Flash PROM firmware revision is lower than the latest firmware revision in this patch, then proceed to the next step. 4) Preparing the System --------------------- a) As root, copy the latest "flash-update" files from the directory containing the patch to the root directory as follows: # cp flash*latest / # chmod 755 /flash-update* In order to boot the binary, it must be located within the root partition. If it is not already located within the root partition then move it to /. If the binary is already located elsewhere within the root partition then note the exact filepath so that the binary can be booted later. b) As root, exit the OS such that the system returns to the PROM's "ok" prompt: # halt ok c) Jumper J4205 is factory-set so that the flash PROM is write-enabled. There is no need to switch the jumper before flash updating; however, you must ensure that the keyswitch is in the Power-on or Diagnostics position. When the key switch is in the locked position the flash PROM is write protected. 5) Running the Flash Update Utility -------------------------------- ** NOTE ** If the flash update completes normally then the values contained within the system's Non-Volatile RAM (NVRAM) configuration variables will be retained. However, if the update process is some- how interrupted then it is possible that any non-default values contained in NVRAM will be lost. For this reason it is recommended that you note down on paper the contents of any NVRAM configuration variable which has been customized so that they may be manually restored at a later time, if necessary. (Use the PROM's "printenv" command to list the variables and their values.) a) The system should now display the PROM monitor's "ok" prompt. Now boot the Flash update utility as given below: CAUTION: Do not boot/run revisions lower than the latest unless you are absolutely sure that that is what you want to do! ok boot disk /flash-update-SunFire440-latest NOTE: If your system's boot device is not "disk" then you will have to specify the appropriate devalias (e.g. disk2). If the binary is located in a location other than / then provide the entire filepath after the boot device. Answer the questions as prompted by the utility. +++++++++++++++++++++ example Flash update follows ++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++ Note that this is an example only.
