PreviouslyPublishedAs 217655 Description The following message may appear in the showlogs file on a Sun Fire[TM] System Controller: Cpu boards have mixed or old firmware.The error indicates that a new board (perhaps a newly replaced or installed board) has different firmware then the existing boards or the System Controller (SC).
Steps to Follow Procedure Execute flashupdate on ANY new board after replacement so that it matches the firmware revision of the boards already in the platform (new boards often arrive with a higher firmware revision then the existing configuration). schostname:SC> showboards -p v1. Make sure the board is powered on. In the example above, SB0 is powered on and has a higher version of firmware then the other boards and the SC. 2. Do one of the following:
4. Now, proceed to adding the board to a platform domain:
Procedure for non-DR enabled machines ************************************************************** 1. Run the showboards -p version -v command to verify that the SCs and domains are now running the proper firmware version. (STEPS 1 and 2 above) 2. Shut down the domain in which the new board is to be used by halting the Solaris operating environment. 3. Power off all CPU/Memory boards and I/O assemblies in the domain by setting the keyswitch position to off:# halt 4. Add the board to the domain (if not already a part of the domain - the example below adds SB1 to Domain A):schostname:A> setkeyswitch off 5. Bring up the domain with the new board by setting the keyswitch position to on:schostname:SC> addboard -d a sb1 schostname:A> setkeyswitch on6.
