Sun Fire 880 Server Product Notes 17
2. Allow the system to remain at the ok 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 Fire880 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.
Verifythat each SSC100 processor displays an “O.K.” status and that each displays
the same firmware version in parentheses. If so, the firmwaresynchronization
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)
