Operating Systems Solaris I need to clone an ultra 1 onto and ultra 60 Post 65589 by frankkahle on Monday 7th of March 2005 10:37:49 AM

Steps I took did not work, is there a write-protect?
I did the steps as outlined below, but nothing changed.Does anyone know if on the SPARC Ultra 60 if it has an NVRAM write protect that needs to be changed?

Frank

The command to change each byte of the NVRAM is:

You must first go to the OpenBoot monitor:

>From the OpenBoot monitor "ok" prompt you can view the IDPROM
data by typing .idprom

To change a byte use : <new value> < byte nr> mkp

For example, to change the hostid to 55a1b3c3 you need to:

ok 1 55 mkp
ok c a1 mkp
ok d b3 mkp
ok e c5 mkp

Now the hostid is changed but the checksum is wrong. This is
recalculated
and written to location f with the command:

ok 0 f 0 do i idprom@ xor loop f mkp
