ABOUT THIS PATCH
----------------

**************************************************************************
**WARNING:****WARNING:****WARNING:****WARNING:****WARNING:****WARNING:**

IMPORTANT:  THE PLATFORMS WHICH ARE SUPPORTED BY THIS PATCH ARE:
        1) Sun Blade T6320 Server Blades containing Service Processor PART NO. 510-1170-06.
        2) Sun Blade T6320 G2 Server Blades containing Service Processor PART NO. 511-1304-xx.
DO NOT USE IT ON ANY OTHER BLADE OR SERVICE PROCESSOR PART NUMBER.

**************************************************************************

FUNCTION OF PATCH
-----------------
Allows for reliable function with X4835A - Sun Blade T6320/T6340 PCIe Pass
Through FEM Fabric Expansion Module and X4238A - Sun Blade 6000 Virtualized NEM.


CHANGE Client Mode to ALOM if currently using ILOM
--------------------------------------------------

SUNSP00XXXXXXXXXX login: root
Password:

-> cd /SP/users/root
/SP/users/root

-> set cli_mode=alom
Set 'cli_mode' to 'alom'

-> exit


TO CHECK THE SERVICE PROCESSOR HARDWARE VERSION
-----------------------------------------------
There are 3 types of service processor cards which will allow the successful
application of this patch:

1) Cards which were originally manufactured at 510-1170-06.
2) Cards which were originally manufactured at 510-1170-05 and then subsequently
upgraded to 510-1170-06 via firmware upgrades at the repair depot.
3) Cards which were originally manufactured at 511-1304-xx (all dash levels are supported).

This can be determined using showfru as follows:

Login to the service processor as root.

      sc> showfru /SYS/SP

Examine the output for either of the following indicators:

      /ManR/Sun_Part_No: 5101170
      /ManR/Initial_HW_Dash_Level: 06

OR
      /ManR/Sun_Part_No: 5101170
      /ManR/Initial_HW_Dash_Level: 05
      /ECO_CurrentR/HW_Dash_Level: 06
OR
      /ManR/Sun_Part_No: 5111304
      /ManR/Initial_HW_Dash_Level: xx (all dash levels are supported).

If the showfru output fields above do not reflect any of the above part numbers/dash levels
then do not attempt to apply this patch.  You will need to swap
out your Service Processor for one of the above H/W part numbers.

TO UPDATE THE FIRMWARE
----------------------

1. Place the firmware (FW) image in a network accessible directory (e.g. tftpboot
directory on the boot server).

2. Establish a connection to the serial management port of the T6320/T6320 G2 server.

3. Ensure that the DC power is off.  Standby mode only.

4. sc> setsc sc_servicemode true

5. sc> flashupdateCPLD -s <ip address> -f <path/filename>

   Example: sc> flashupdateCPLD -s XX.X.XX.XX -f path-to-file/520-3983-03-50.svf

6. Perform an AC power cycle to complete the update process.  This can be accomplished by
removing and re-inserting the blade into the chassis.

7. Allow the Service Processor to reboot

8. sc> setsc sc_servicemode false


CHANGE Client Mode back to ILOM if desired
------------------------------------------

SUNSP00XXXXXXXXXX login: root

sc> userclimode root default
sc> logout
