Any other special or non-generic installation instructions should be described below as special instructions. The following example installs a patch to a standalone machine: example# patchadd /var/spool/patch/104945-02 The following example removes a patch from a standalone system: example# patchrm 104945-02 For additional examples please see the appropriate man pages.

Run: host-sc0:sms-svc> flashupdate -f /opt/SUNWSMS/firmware/SSCPOST.di SC0/FP1 If on SC1, replace "SC0" with "SC1" above. and then reboot the system controller. OTHELLO+ CP2140 (P/N 501-6754-01) INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * To support installation of the Othello+ CP2140 controller (P/N 501-6754-01) onto the F12k/F15K System Controller (SC), this SSCPOST patch (114609-02) must be installed along with the following required patches (if not already present): 114608-03 (RFE 4822152 = hpost) 115287-02 (RFE 4783744 = mand) 115776-01 (RFE 4834834, BugId 4797191, 4942949 = SMS flashupdate) 115954-01 (RFE 4783769 = SMS startup) 115955-01 (RFE 4736411 = smsconfig) 115957-01 (RFE 4817726, BugId 4896048 = SC OBP) 116087-02 (RFE 4906317 = Solaris8 (point patch see: http://sunsolve.sun.com/point)) Note that these additional patches are NOT required for the Nordica CP1500 (P/N 501-5994-06). For Nordica CP1500, SSCPOST patch 114609-02 is "standalone" and forward- and backward-compatible, and therefore is "don't care" in regards to the patch numbers specified above. * Once all the above patches are installed (including this patch), and Othello+ CP2140 (P/N 501-6754-01) is also installed, you must run flashupdate to update Flash PROM 1 of the System Controller. Run: host-sc0:sms-svc> flashupdate -f /opt/SUNWSMS/firmware/oSSCPOST.di SC0/FP1 If on SC1, replace "SC0" with "SC1" above. and then reboot the system controller. BACKGROUND: ~~~~~~~~~~ RFE 4817832 introduces SSCPOST support for the Othello+ CP2140, targeted for introduction with F12K/F15K platforms in 2004. The Othello+ CP2140 requires it's own new, separate SSCPOST dropin named "oSSCPOST.di". Consequently, the new "oSSCPOST.di" dropin name requires that the SMS "flashupdate" executable be updated to handle it, which is accomplished in patch 115776-01 above. Lastly, in order to boot Solaris and run SMS with an Othello+ CP2140 controller installed, all the above patches are required to be installed as well. Note that the additional patches listed above are NOT required to support the Nordica CP1500 controller. Once this patch (114609-02) has been successfully installed, the following SSCPOST dropins will be present in the SMS1.3 firmware directory: /opt/SUNWSMS/SMS1.3/firmware/SSCPOST.di = Nordica CP1500 SSCPOST /opt/SUNWSMS/SMS1.3/firmware/nSSCPOST.di = Nordica CP1500 SSCPOST /opt/SUNWSMS/SMS1.3/firmware/oSSCPOST.di = Othello+ CP2140 SSCPOST Note that "SSCPOST.di" and "nSSCPOST.di" are identical binary copies of each other. The "nSSCPOST.di" name is added to match the new self-identifying SSCPOST dropin naming-convention introduced with this patch (i.e., Othello+ = oSSCPOST.di). This allows a user with all the Othello+ CP2140 support patches installed, but running with a Nordica CP1500 installed, the option of running the updated SMS flashupdate command specifying either the "nSSCPOST.di" or the "SSCPOST.di" dropin name.
