Solaris 10 hba firmware upgrades need help please
Greetings
Have some solaris 10 servers that need hba firmware upgrades, but I am told that those are in the Jumbo Patch Bundle, Which would be great except /var on this server is not large enough to run the patch bundle due to the way sun changes this and know requires a boat load of free space.
Please save comments on trying to redo var to get more space we are working on that
Really need to know if this can be done outside of the patch bundle.
Many thanks

Hi,
I'm trying to determine which HBA cards are installed on my Solaris 10 (Sun-Fire-V240) machine.
The relevant data I have is below, but from it I cannot ascertain for sure if I have Emulex 10000 or 11000 HBA cards.
Can anyone suggest how to determine my HBA hardware ?
Thanks,
Ron.

BUNDLE(1) General Commands Manual BUNDLE(1)
NAME
bundle - collect files for distribution
SYNOPSIS
bundle file ...
DESCRIPTION
Bundle writes on its standard output a shell script for rc(1) or a Bourne shell which, when executed, will recreate the original files.
Its main use is for distributing small numbers of text files by mail(1).
Although less refined than standard archives from ar(1) or tar(1), a bundle file is self-documenting and complete; little preparation is
required on the receiving machine.
EXAMPLES
bundle mkfile *.[ch] | mail kremvax!boris
Send a makefile to Boris together with related and files. Upon receiving the mail, Boris may save the file sans postmark, say in
gift/horse, then do
cd gift; rc horse; mk
SOURCE
/rc/bin/bundle
SEE ALSO
ar(1), tar(1), mail(1)
BUGS
Bundle will not create directories and is unsatisfactory for non-text files.
Beware of gift horses.
