Solution Type Technical Instruction Sure Solution 1001543.1 : Setting NVRAM, RSC-MAC Addr and RSC Params after replacing Sun Enterprise[TM] 250 System Board
PreviouslyPublishedAs 202113 Description This document describes setting NVRAM, RSC-MAC Addr and RSC Params after replacing Sun Enterprise[TM] 250 System Board. Steps to Follow In order to run the RSC as before after changing the System Board it is necessary. I) to restore the configuration into the appropriate chip at the new board (the RSC Flash PROM is on the Sun Enterprise[TM] 250 System Board at U4401) and, if the NVRAM is also changed, II) to perform an update for the RSC-MAC-Address III) to set some NVRAM Parameters. Detailed description of the three steps ======================================= I) Although there is a backup file mentioned [1,Chapter 7] it is not possible to store and restore the RSC Configuration by a file yet. The way to restore the configuration is to log them manually by the command rscadm [3] and configure the new RSC Flash PROM on the new System Board using rsc-config [3]. It is recommended to backup the RSC Configuration in order to avoid problems when the System Board is broken. Example RSC Configuration: /usr/platform/sun4u/sbin/rscadm show page_enabled="false" mail_enabled="false" ip_mode="config" ppp_enabled="false" serial_hw_handshake="false" tpe_link_test="true" serial_baud="9600" serial_parity="none" serial_stop="1" serial_data="8" customerinfo="" ip_addr="10.0.0.100" ip_netmask="255.255.255.0" ip_gateway="10.0.0.200" mailhost="" mailuser="" page_info1="" page_init1="" page_password1="" page_parity1="even" page_stop1="1" page_data1="7" page_baud1="300" page_info2="" page_init2="" page_password2="" page_parity2="even" page_stop2="1" page_data2="7" page_baud2="300" ppp_local_ip_addr="0.0.0.0" ppp_remote_ip_addr="0.0.0.0" hostname="lab-rsc" escape_char="~" After changing the System Board it is necessary to perform /usr/platform/sun4u/sbin/rsc-config and enter the values when being prompted. II) The RSC-MAC-Address is related to the systems MAC-Address and must be updated with the following command in the OPB: rsc-mac-update For more detailed information see [1], [2]. III) To redirect all in- and outputs to the RSC the following NVRAM Parameters must be set with the proper values: setenv output-device rsc setenv input-device rsc and the following command in the OBP must be performed: diag-output-to rsc For more detailed information see [1], [2], [3].
