How to Update Motherboard FRUID Information


Note - This information is for Oracle Service personnel only.


After replacing a FRU, update the FRUID information that resides on the motherboard.

  1. Use ILOM to obtain the information for the new component.

    For example, to obtain the MAC address of a new motherboard from the CLI, use the show command:

    show /SYS/MB/NET0

    The MAC address appears in the list.

  2. Make note of the component information.
  3. Enter Service mode and use the setpsnc command to update the FRUID information:

    For example, to change the motherboard MAC address:

    setpsnc -m new-mac_address

    where, new-mac_address is the MAC address of the new motherboard.

  4. Backup the MB FRUID information. See How to Backup Motherboard FRUID Information.
