OS:solaris 8
补丁打到最新!具体没记住!
现要扩容4GB Mem和1个1200MHZ的CPU,但是扩容后主机不断重启,重启时报措信息为:Fatal Error reported by:(PCI-PBM),时隔大约1~2个小时不等,查看硬件状态全部正常,使用诊断模式也没有发现什么错误!
后将新扩容上去的MEM和CPU去掉,主机恢复正常,在另外一台运行正常的F280R上测试取下来的MEM和CPU也没有什么问题!
请大家帮忙会诊一下这到底是什么原因引起的这个故障?!如何解决?!谢谢大家!作者: metor78 时间: 2004-09-21 09:56 标题: SOS:Sun Fire 280R故障 好像是obp版本的问题,前两天东方蜘蛛也问过,不知道升级OBP以后是否解决,请出来说一下作者: 马甲上线 时间: 2004-09-21 10:06 标题: SOS:Sun Fire 280R故障 和OBP版本关系大吗?还有6台280扩容后怎么就没有出现什么问题吖!作者: race 时间: 2004-09-21 10:09 标题: SOS:Sun Fire 280R故障 看看111292-17作者: 马甲上线 时间: 2004-09-21 10:23 标题: SOS:Sun Fire 280R故障 Patch-ID# 111292-17

This README is intended for users who wish to upgrade the firmware
in their Sun Blade 1000, Sun Blade 2000, Sun Fire 280R or Netra[tm] T20 system
Flash PROM.
Note:
----
The Solaris System Firmware update utility provides the ability to update the
system firmware from Solaris. This utility is provided as an alternate means of
flash update and may be used in place of the standard utility described in this
README file. In general this utility is a bit faster than the standard update
utility, and because it is a Solaris script, it may be used at the end of an
installation script for users who may be updating the firmware on multiple
systems as part of a large installation.
If you choose to update your system firmware using the traditional method,
please follow the instructions in this README file. If you would like to update
your system using the Solaris System Firmware update utility please follow the
instructions detailed in the unix.flash-update.README file.
Summary of the Patch Installation Process:
------------------------------------------
The installation shall comprise of the following steps
1) Determine the system's current Flash PROM firmware revision.
2) Compare the current Flash PROM firmware revision with the available or
latest Flash PROM firmware revisions.
3) If the current Flash PROM firmware revision is lower than the latest
available firmware revision in this patch, then proceed to the next step.
If NOT, STOP: DO NOT CONTINUE.
4) Prepare the system for the Flash PROM update
5) Running the Flash PROM Utility
6) Verifying successful Flash PROM Update
7) Restoring the system
Resume operations
Patch Installation instructions (in detail):
============================================
The required steps are explained in greater detail below.
1) Determine the System's Current Firmware Revisions
-------------------------------------------------
While the OS is running the following command may be used to
determine the current system firmware revisions;
/usr/sbin/prtconf -V
or
/usr/platform/sun4u/sbin/prtdiag -v | grep OBP
The firmware revisions may also be determined from the PROM monitor's
"ok" prompt with the following command;
.version
2) Compare the current Flash PROM firmware revision with the available or
latest Flash PROM firmware revisions.
Compare the output of the OBP line in the "prtdiag -v" or "prtconf -V"
output. Find the revision number and compare with the revision on the
entries below that of the "flash-update-Blade1000-latest" line
Available Firmware Revisions
----------------------------
-latest flash-update-Blade1000-latest
OBP: 4.13.0 created 2004/01/19 18:27
POST, v4.13.0 03/15/2004 19:13
-16 flash-update-Blade1000-16
OBP: 4.10.11 created 2003/09/25 11:53
POST, v4.10.9 08/05/2003 13:11
3) Is the UPGRADE NECESSARY?
If the current Flash PROM revision matches the version numbers given under
the flash-update-Blade1000-latest line, then STOP Here. This UPGRADE IS NOT
NECESSARY.
If the current Flash PROM firmware revision is lower than the latest
firmware revision in this patch, then proceed to the next step.
4) Preparing the System
---------------------
a) As root, copy the latest "flash-update" files from the directory
containing the patch to the root directory as follows:
# cp flash*latest /
# chmod 755 /flash-update*
In order to boot the binary, it must be located within the root
partition. If it is not already located within the root partition
then move it to /. If the binary is already located elsewhere
within the root partition then note the exact filepath so that the
binary can be booted later.
b) As root, exit the OS such that the system returns to the PROM's "ok"
prompt:
# halt
ok
5) Running the Flash Update Utility
--------------------------------
a) The system should now display the PROM monitor's "ok" prompt.
Now boot the Flash update utility as given below:
CAUTION: Do not boot/run revisions lower than the latest unless you
are absolutely sure that that is what you want to do!
ok boot disk /flash-update-Blade1000-latest
NOTE: If your system's boot device is not "disk" then you will
have to specify the appropriate devalias (e.g. disk2).
If the binary is located in a location other than / then
provide the entire filepath after the boot device.
Answer the questions as prompted by the utility.

+++++++++++++++++++++ example Flash update ends ++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Once the PROM's banner reappears then use the Stop-A keys (or Break
key, if running from a serial line) to abort the auto-boot sequence
if the system begins to boot.
6) Verifying successful Flash PROM Update
Verify from the results of the .version command that the OBP
version matches the OBP version given above under the
flash-update-Blade1000-latest entry in Step 2.
7) Resume operations
a) Allow the system to auto-boot, or issue the boot command for your
environment as necessary.
b) Once the system has rebooted you may wish to remove the Flash Update
binaries and documents since they will no longer be needed.
# rm /flash-update*
c) Remember to remove the files from their original location if
they were not extracted directly into the root directory.
Appendix A Power Interruption During Updating
------------------------------------------------
Power Interruption Recovery Scenarios
-------------------------------------
If your system has a front panel switch:
1. Turn the power switch to the standby position to prevent power surge to
the system when power is restored.
2. After power is restored to the system location, return the power switch
to the on position.
After power is restored, one of the following two recovery scenarios should
happen on your system. Follow the instructions described for the
appropriate scenario.
Scenario 1 - System Recovers After Power Restoration
----------------------------------------------------
If your system attempts to autoboot after power is restored, or if it
returns to the flash PROM's ok prompt, you must complete the programming
process by rebooting the flash PROM utility.
Scenario 2 - System Does Not Recover After Power Restoration
------------------------------------------------------------
If your system does not boot or return to the ok prompt after power is
restored:
1. If the update was being run via a serial port and the system also has
a frame buffer and keyboard installed, or if the system has a keyboard
and more than one frame buffer installed:
a. Connect a monitor to each frame buffer.
b. Confirm that output has been redirected to one of the frame buffers.
- The NVRAM configuration variables "might" have been modified
because of the firmware update just before power was lost. If this
happened, then the system output was possibly redirected to a
device other than the one originally used to display it. This
could only have happened if a keyboard was connected to the system.
- If there is no keyboard connected to the system and the NVRAM
configuration variable are set to their default values, then
system input and output are directed to serial port A.
2. If output cannot be found on any of the installed frame buffers or
serial port A, set the boot control jumper J2104 to boot from the half
of the PROM that is not currently selected:
- If the J2104 jumper is set for "high-half booting", pins 1-2, move it
to "normal booting", pins 2-3.
- If the J2104 jumper is set for "normal booting", pins 2-3 move it to
"half-high booting", pins 1-2.
Reference the Sun Flash PROM Guide (802-3233-25.ps) file for the jumper
locations.
3. Power on the system.
- If the system recovers, complete the updating process by rebooting
the flash PROM utility.
- If the system does not recover, repeat Step 1 and Step 2 a second
time.
4. If the system still does not recover after you complete Step 1 and Step
2 a second time, contact your service provider.
Appendix B Verify/Set the System's Flash PROM Write Enable Jumper
-----------------------------------------------------------------
1) Power off the system.
** CAUTION ** Do not attempt to access any part of the system hardware
with the system power still on!
2) Remove the system top cover. (If you are unsure how to do this then
consult your system "Installation Guide" or "Service Manual".)
3) Verify/change the setting of jumper J2103 on pins 2+3.
Jumper J2103 provides a write enable/disable mechanism for the
Flash PROM. J2103 normally connects pins 2+3, which causes the
Flash PROM to be write enabled. By default J2103 is set to pins 2+3
to write enable the Flash PROM. If for some reason J2103 has been set
to pins 1+2, thus disabling the Flash PROM update, then you will need
to move the jumper from pins 1+2 to pins 2+3.
**IMPORTANT NOTE**: If this jumper is NOT set to WRITE ENABLE, the
Flash update will fail.
Note: consult the enclosed Sun Flash PROM Guide (802-3233-25.ps)
4) Replace the system top cover.
Note: If you have verified that the Flash PROM jumper J2103 is set to the
write enabled positon and you still see the message "Could not communicate
with the Flash PROM on the system board", when the update is run then you
will need to contact your service provider.
