To perform Dynamic Reconfiguration operations your machine may require one or more firmware updates. If an update is needed, the following message will appear during boot:
Firmware does not support Dynamic Reconfiguration
Your machine must be running at least CPU PROM version 3.2.16. If you updated your firmware from the Solaris 7 3/99 CD for 64-bit operation, you already have version 3.2.16 installed.
To see your current PROM revision, enter .version and banner at the ok prompt. Your display may be similar to the following:
