How to Update CPU Module FRU Information

Use this procedure to update the FRU information for the CPU modules installed in the server. Each CPU module must be updated individually. That is, you must enter the FRU command for each module installed in the server.

1. Open a terminal window.

   The command-line prompt appears.

2. Use the secure copy command to copy the motherboard-specific .bin file to the service processor's SunService/coredump directory:

   $ scp 885-1568-03.bin sunservice@SP_IP:/coredump

   where SP_IP is the IP address of the server's service processor (SP).

3. Access the SP.

   ssh sunservice@SP_IP

   where SP_IP is the IP address of the server's SP.

   The command-line interface prompt appears.

   ->

4. Use the cd command to navigate to the coredump directory.

   -> cd /coredump

5. Update CPU module FRU information for each CPU module that you installed or removed. To update the FRU information, enter the command and target the specific module by specifying the module's slot number (pb:#):

   -> frutool -w pb:slot_# < 885-1568-03.bin

   where slot_# is the slot number of the CPU module.

   For example:

   • To update the FRU information for the CPU module installed in slot 0:

     -> frutool -w pb:0 < 885-1568-03.bin

     When the prompt returns the update is complete.

   • To update the FRU information for the CPU module installed in slot 7 (the last slot):

     -> frutool -w pb:7 < 885-1568-03.bin

     When the prompt returns the update is complete.

6. To exit the CLI, enter the command:

   -> exit
