Patch Installation Instructions:
--------------------------------
Refer to the Install.info file within the patch for instructions on
using the generic 'installpatch' and 'backoutpatch' scripts provided
with each patch. Any other special or non-generic installation
instructions should be described below.

Special Install Instructions:
-----------------------------
 
Note: Assume e10000-cb0 is the primary control board hostname.
 
PROM Image Upgrade Procedure:
 
1. Install the patch on the main SSP. The flash_boot.ima file is
   installed in the directory: /opt/SUNWssp/cbobjs
 
2. Log in as user ssp and disable SSP and CB failover:
	ssp% setfailover off
	ssp% setfailover -t cb off
 
	The showfailover command should display the following Failover State:
        SSP Failover: Disabled 
        CB  Failover: Disabled 
 
3. Log in as super user and stop all SSP processes (note that all your netcon
   sessions will be terminated):
	# /etc/init.d/ssp stop
 
4. Erase the prom (this will take several minutes):
	# /opt/SUNWssp/bin/cb_prom -e -h e10000-cb0
	Erasing PROM... complete.
 
5. Program the prom with Version 3.47:
	/opt/SUNWssp/bin/cb_prom -p /opt/SUNWssp/cbobjs/flash_boot.ima -h e10000-cb0
	Programming PROM... complete.
 
6. Restart the SSP processes:
	# /etc/init.d/ssp start
 
7. Check the PROM version after you see the "Startup of SSP as MAIN complete"
   message in the platform log:
        ssp% cb_prom -r -h e10000-cb0
        Checking PROM revision... 3.47
 
8. If you have a spare control board, repeat steps #2 - 7 using its
   hostname instead of the hostname of the primary control board.
 
9. If you have a spare SSP, install the patch on the spare SSP and no
   further action is required.
