7.12.2.2 Solaris eeprom Command

The eeprom command is a UNIX shell command. You invoke it to list the names and current values of the OpenBoot PROM configuration variables stored in system NVRAM. You can also use the eeprom command to set new values for the OpenBoot PROM configuration variables.

To run the eeprom command:

1. Boot the operating system.

2. Become root.

3. Type the following command at the command-line prompt:

   % eeprom % scsi-initiator-id=7 keyboard-click?=false keymap: data not available. ttyb-rts-dtr-off=false ttyb-ignore-cd=true ttya-rts-dtr-off=false ttya-ignore-cd=true ttyb-mode=9600,8,n,1,- ttya-mode=9600,8,n,1,- pcia-probe-list=1 pcib-probe-list=1,3,2,4,5 enclosure-type: 540-4284 banner-name: Sun Enterprise 220R energystar-enabled?=false mfg-mode=off diag-level=min #power-cycles=35 system-board-serial#=5014450071228 system-board-date=371c1bc9 fcode-debug?=false output-device=screen input-device=keyboard load-base=16384 boot-command=boot auto-boot?=true watchdog-reboot?=false diag-file: data not available. diag-device=net boot-file: data not available. boot-device=disk net local-mac-address?=false ansi-terminal?=true screen-#columns=80 screen-#rows=34 silent-mode?=false use-nvramrc?=false

   nvramrc: data not available. security-mode=none security-password: data not available. security-#badlogins=0 oem-logo: data not available. oem-logo?=false oem-banner: data not available. oem-banner?=false hardware-revision: data not available. last-hardware-update: data not available. diag-switch?=true

If the NVRAM is a new part, you must reset the values of the following OpenBoot PROM configuration variables: banner-name= Sun Enterprise 220R, enclosure-type= , 540-4284and energystar-enabled?= false.

To set the values for the OpenBoot PROM configuration variables shown in the following example, boot the operating system, log on as root, and enter the following commands.

%
% eeprom banner-name="Sun Enterprise 220R"
% eeprom enclosure-type="540-4284"
% eeprom energystar-enabled?=false

Verify the variable settings by running the eeprom command without any parameters, as shown in the following example.
