Sun Fire 880 Server Product Notes

2. Allow the system to remain at the

prompt for at least 10 minutes to ensure that

the two backplanes are loaded with the same version of firmware.

The system automatically synchronizes the firmware versions between the two
backplanes.

3. After the required waiting period, boot the system to single-user mode.

4. To verify that the firmware synchronization process has successfully completed,

type the following

luxadm

subcommand:

Where enclosure_name is the enclosure name assigned to the Sun Fire 880 internal
storage array—by default,

FCloop

. If you need to verify the enclosure name first,

use the

luxadm probe

subcommand.

The output of the

display

subcommand shows the status of each SSC100 in the

system. The following is an excerpt of sample output for a dual-backplane system.

Verify that each SSC100 processor displays an “O.K.” status and that each displays
the same firmware version in parentheses. If so, the firmware synchronization
process has successfully completed. Otherwise, wait another two minutes or so and
repeat this step.

Note –

For more information about the

luxadm

utility, see Platform Notes: Using

luxadm Software, part of the Solaris on Sun Hardware AnswerBook2 Set on the
Supplement CD.

5. Once the firmware synchronization process is complete, you can restore the

system to multi-user mode.

For example, type:

ok boot -s

# luxadm display

enclosure_name

SSC100’s - 0=Base Bkpln, 1=Base LoopB, 2=Exp Bkpln, 3=Exp LoopB

SSC100 #0: O.K.(9224/ 120A)

SSC100 #1: O.K.(9224/ 120A)

SSC100 #2: O.K.(9224/ 120A)

SSC100 #3: O.K.(9224/ 120A)
