1.3.4 Firmware On Replacement Boards and
Assemblies
After installing a board or assembly, use the showboards -p proms command to
determine if the firmware needs to be updated. If an update is required, use either
the system controller flashupdate -f or flashupdate -c command. Refer to
the Sun Fire 6800/4810/4800/3800 System Controller Command Reference Manual for
correct usage of the flashupdate command.
Note – Do not use the flashupdate -u command as shown in onscreen messages.
Using flashupdate -u can result in incompatibility issues that require a reboot of
the system controller and domains.
