SSP 3.1.1          SSP Administration Commands        cb_prom(1M)



NAME
     cb_prom - upgrade PROM



SYNOPSIS
     cb_prom -d file [-f] -h hostname
     cb_prom -e -h hostname
     cb_prom -p file -h hostname
     cb_prom -r -h hostname



DESCRIPTION
     Caution:
            Only authorized service providers should use this command.


     cb_prom manipulates the contents of the Enterprise 10000 Control
     Board Flash PROM on a control board. This PROM is designated for
     field upgrades to the boot firmware required to download the Con-
     trol Board Executive (CBE).



OPTIONS
     -d file [-f]
               Dump the contents of the Flash PROM to file. By
               default, -d does not overwrite file if it already
               exists.  You can use -f, the force option, to override
               this safeguard.

     -e        Erase the contents of the Flash PROM.

     -p file   Program the Flash PROM with the contents of file.

     -r        Display the revision of the Flash PROM currently in use
               on the control board.

     -h hostname
               Execute the cb_prom command on the control board named
               hostname.

Notes
     An upgrade to the boot firmware takes effect only after a control
     board reboot; for example, via cb_reset(1M).
