Patch Installation Instructions:
-------------------------------- 
Refer to the Install.info file 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 as special instructions.

Special Install Instructions:
----------------------------- 
 
There is a special "dpt_flashupdate" process that must be followed
to correctly upgrade the target machine.
 
 1. Before starting the patch process backup all your data.  See the
    Answerbook2 online documentation for information about backing up
    data.
 
    In addition, if you have set SCSI speeds lower than the
    default, see the NOTE below, following the last step (Attention
    users of 12-drive Multipacks with Ultra SCSI drives!).
 
 2. Login as root and install the patch via the "installpatch"
    utility (see Install.info) (i.e. "111250-01/installpatch 111250-01").
 
    See "How to identify proper patch and package revisions:", below.
 
 3. Shutdown the target machine via "shutdown" or "uadmin"
    and boot in to single-user mode.
 
 4. Make sure "/opt/SUNWhwrdg" is accessible (i.e. you may have to run 
    "mount /opt") and flash the SRC/P firmware by running
    "/opt/SUNWhwrdg/dpt_flashupdate".  The machine will be shutdown when
    the flash process is complete.
 
 5. Boot the machine into single-user mode again and verify that the 
    firmware and NVRAM are at the correct levels.
 
    For example, run the following to verify that the firmware (FW) and
    NVRAM are at the correct level:
 
    # dptutil -L controller
    #  b0 b1 b2  Controller     Cache  FW    NVRAM     Serial     Status
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    d0 c5 -- c4  DPT PM3755U2B  64MB   SMFE  SUN V1.6  12-030897  Optimal
 
    #
 
 6. If the levels are correct, reboot the machine in to multi-user mode.  
    If the levels are incorrect, redo the "dpt_flashupdate" process.
 
 7. It is recommended that after applying the patch (along with updating
    the firmware) and before using your SRC/P RAID arrays that you first
    run the "Verify" option from the SRC/P Storage Manager (NOTE: The "Verify"    
    process can be time consuming, particularly with multiple large arrays).
    This should detect and fix any RAID-5 parity or RAID-1 "mirror"
    inconsistencies.  Any inconsistencies will be reported in the Event Log.  If
    inconsistencies are detected, then it is recommended that you restore your
    data from backup.
 
 
NOTE:   If you have set SCSI speeds lower than the default (i.e. if you
	have an old 12-drive Multipack with Ultra SCSI drives), you need
	to record your SCSI speed settings from the dptmgr or dptutil output
	and power-off the Multipack during the patch process.  When the
	patch process is complete, restore the recorded SCSI speed settings
	via dptmgr, power-down your system, power-on your Multipack(s), and
	then power-on and boot your system.  This note should only apply
	to users of 12-drive Multipacks with Ultra SCSI drives.
