Take a look at pages 12 & 19.

What OBP version have you got?
Read somewhere that 4.72 is the first to support USB boot.

What version of Solaris are you trying to boot?

Good catch (see below) but now I need to get firewall rules opened up so that I can upload the new firmware. Thank you!

Code:

{0} ok .version
Release 4.36.1  created 2014/06/26 12:20

***Update***, hicksd8 is close on his recommendation. However, OBP 4.27 is the minimum version per this article and this server does meet that standard but it does not recognize any USB thumb drives inserted so far.

I have had no luck so far. I believe that mounting the USB installation image from another box might be my best approach.

To clarify, my situation is that we have AI instances on our local IPS boxes. However, we have issues getting ports to said IPS boxes from our new servers that we must build. I have been tasked with finding a way to avoid making and waiting on requests to open up ports as our security team is not only slow but often works in a.....not detail oriented fashion Smilie

ehci

EHCI(4) 						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						   EHCI(4)

NAME

     ehci -- USB Enhanced Host Controller driver

SYNOPSIS

     device ehci

DESCRIPTION

     The ehci driver provides support for the USB Enhanced Host Controller Interface, which is used by USB 2.0 controllers.

     EHCI controllers are peculiar in that they can only handle the USB 2.0 protocol.  This means that they normally have one or more companion
     controllers (i.e., ohci(4) or uhci(4)) handling USB 1.x devices.  Consequently each USB connector is electrically connected to two USB con-
     trollers.	The handling of this is totally automatic, but can be noticed since USB 1.x and USB 2.0 devices plugged in to the same connector
     appear to connect to different USB busses.

SEE ALSO

     ohci(4), uhci(4), usb(4), xhci(4)

HISTORY

     The ehci device driver first appeared in FreeBSD 5.1.

LOADER TUNABLES

     When the kernel has been compiled with options USB_DEBUG, some tunables become available that affect the behavior of ehci.  These tunables
     can be set at the loader(8) prompt before booting the kernel or stored in loader.conf(5).

     hw.usb.ehci.lostintrbug
	     This tunable enables the lost interrupt quirk.  The default value is 0 (off).

     hw.usb.ehci.iaadbug
	     This tunable enables the EHCI doorbell quirk.  The default value is 0 (off).

     hw.usb.ehci.no_hs
	     This tunable disables USB devices to attach like HIGH-speed ones and will force all attached devices to attach to the FULL- or LOW-
	     speed companion controller.  The default value is 0 (off).
