firmware update on t5120

Hi,

I am using 3 t5120 sparc systems, OS solaris 10.

I am confused by update manager behaviour and sun support.

Sun support guy, tells me install patch : 136932-09 (#136932-09: Hardware/PROM: SPARC Enterprise T5120 & T5220 Sun System Firmware with LDOMS support)

When I checked Install.info, it clearly says, once done with prerequisits then use update manager (1.0.10 which systems have) to locate firmware patch. but the update manager in my case does not show any such firmware update available.

What is confusing is step 3 in Install.info

Quote:
1. On the host (Solaris domain), maximize the Sun Update Manager
Window.

2. Select the "Available Updates" tab located in the upper right hand
portion
of the window
3. Review the "Synopsis" column to find entry containing "...Sun
Firmware System Firmware Update". This entry will be specific to your
particular system type.
NOTE: If there is NO entry containing the string above and all
of the prerequisites listed above are met, the firmware stack version
currently loaded on your Service Processor is up to date and does not
require updating.


The NOTE clearly says that if you do not see update available then system does not need one.

Now support guy says, he does not know anything about update manager at all Smilie and I should download patch from sun.com or he can email me.

The question here is, is it wise to do this firmware update when update manager does not show it (even though 1.0.10 is supposed to show firmware updates on t5120) Check: What's Been Fixed in Update Manager 1.0.10? - Patch Management - wikis.sun.com)

Hope you understand my question,

I would like to know from people who have done this firmware update. How did they do it and was it success?

OK, Reason why I am doing it is, @ sc> console -f hangs , resetsc -y gives this error:

Quote:
sc> resetsc -y
Performing hard reset on the SC failed
resetsc: No such inventory
Support guy tells me install the above patch but does not seem knowledgeble enough to support his suggestion.

Thanks

KPROPLOG(8)						      System Manager's Manual						       KPROPLOG(8)

NAME
kproplog - display the contents of the Kerberos principal update log SYNOPSIS
kproplog [-h] [-e num] DESCRIPTION
The kproplog command displays the contents of the Kerberos principal update log to standard output. It can be used to keep track of the incremental updates to the principal database, when enabled. The update log file contains the update log maintained by the kadmind process on the master KDC server and the kpropd process on the slave KDC servers. When updates occur, they are logged to this file. Subsequently any KDC slave configured for incremental updates will request the current data from the master KDC and update their principal.ulog file with any updates returned. The kproplog command can only be run on a KDC server by someone with privileges comparable to the superuser. It will display update entries for that server only. If no options are specified, the summary of the update log is displayed. If invoked on the master, all of the update entries are also dis- played. When invoked on a slave KDC server, only a summary of the updates are displayed, which includes the serial number of the last update received and the associated time stamp of the last update. OPTIONS
-h Display a summary of the update log. This information includes the database version number, state of the database, the number of updates in the log, the time stamp of the first and last update, and the version number of the first and last update entry. -e num Display the last num update entries in the log. This is useful when debugging synchronization between KDC servers. -v Display individual attributes per update. An example of the output generated for one entry: Update Entry Update serial # : 4 Update operation : Add Update principal : test@EXAMPLE.COM Update size : 424 Update committed : True Update time stamp : Fri Feb 20 23:37:42 2004 Attributes changed : 6 Principal Key data Password last changed Modifying principal Modification time TL data SEE ALSO
