If you do not have the correct versions of the firmware, go to the SunSolve Web site, http://www.sun.com/sunsolve, and download the following firmware patch.
Refer to the Readme file in the patch for any special installation instructions and to the Netra CP2300 cPSB Board Installation and Technical Reference Manual (816-7186) for instructions on upgrading the firmware.
Patches to Download and Install
This section provides information on the patches that you must download from the SunSolve web site for the Netra CP2300 cPSB board and instructions on how to apply these patches. These instructions are part of the Netra CP2300 cPSB board software installation procedures that are documented in the Netra CP2300 cPSB Board Software Installation Guide (817-2891). At a particular point in the installation procedure, you are asked to perform these tasks.
There are two types of patches to download:
- Regular patches are available on the main SunSolve web site, http://www.sun.com/sunsolve. If you specify the base Patch ID number (the first six digits) in the Search SunSolve window, you see the most recent version of the patch.
- Point patches are available on the point patch SunSolve web site, http://www.sun.com/sunsolve/point. You must specify the complete Patch ID number, including the version, in the Point Patch Search window to see the patch. Always install point patches last, after the regular patches.
There are also two procedures for downloading and installing patches for the Netra CP2300 cPSB board.
Applying Patches to a Boot Disk
Following are the instructions for downloading and installing the patches that are required for the software installation process documented in the Netra CP2300 cPSB Board Software Installation Guide (817-2891).
1. Locate and download the following patches listed in TABLE 2.

2. Perform an unzip on all of the patches that you downloaded.
3. Perform a patchadd for each of the patches in the order given in Step 1.
You must perform a patchadd on the patches in the order listed. Some of the patches require software that was added through previous patches, so adding patches out of order could result in error messages and corrupted software.
4. Return to instructions in the Netra CP2300 cPSB Board Software Installation Guide (817-2891) to complete the software installation procedures for a disk drive.
Applying Patches to a Diskless Service
Following are the instructions for downloading and installing the patches that are required for the software installation process documented in the Netra CP2300 cPSB Board Software Installation Guide (817-2891):

2. Move the patch zip files into the image_directory/Solaris_8/Patches directory.
image_directory is the path to the directory where the Solaris 8 install image is stored.
|
Note - The image_directory will be the same directory used during the CP2300 software installation. Refer to the Netra CP2300 cPSB Board Software Installation Guide (817-2891) for more information on the image_directory location.
|
3. Perform an unzip on all of the patches that you downloaded.
4. Change directories to the /usr/sadm/bin directory.
5. Install the required patches to the diskless service.
Use the smosservice patch command to install the patches to the installation image.
Install the software patches on the sever in this order, where root_password is the root password of the server and image_directory is the Solaris 8 2/02 installation image directory. Note that you must add an additional -U option when you install the last patch to the installation image.
# ./smosservice patch -u root -p root_password -- -a image_directory/Solaris_8/Patches/112396-02 -m
# ./smosservice patch -u root -p root_password -- -a image_directory/Solaris_8/Patches/108987-13 -m
# ./smosservice patch -u root -p root_password -- -a image_directory/Solaris_8/Patches/111111-03 -m
# ./smosservice patch -u root -p root_password -- -a image_directory/Solaris_8/Patches/111310-01 -m

6. Manually apply the following two patches:
# /usr/sbin/patchadd -R /export/root/clone/Solaris_8/sun4u image_directory/Solaris_8/Patches/114471-03
# /usr/sbin/patchadd -R /export/root/clone/Solaris_8/.copyofsun4u image_directory/Solaris_8/Patches/114471-03
|
Where image_directory is the Solaris 8 2/02 installation image directory.
7. Create an admin file with the following parameters on the boot server:
- mail=
- instance=unique
- partial=nocheck
- runlevel=nocheck
- idepend=nocheck
- rdepend=nocheck
- space=nocheck
- setuid=nocheck
- conflict=nocheck
- action=nocheck

8. Use the following command to apply the following packages on the boot server.
|
Note - The following command is a single long entry. Do not press the Return key until you have typed the entire text string shown in the following command.
|
# /usr/sbin/pkgadd -R /export/Solaris_8 -d /export/diskless/Patches/108993-22 -a path_to_admin_file package_name
|
where path_to_admin_file is the path to the admin file that you created in Step 7, and package_name is the name of the packages in the following list. Note that you have to enter the command for each of the packages individually; do not enter all of the packages in one command.
