NAME

cb_prom- upgrade PROM

SYNOPSIS

cb_prom -d file [-f] -h hostname
cb_prom -e -h hostname
cb_prom -p file -h hostname
cb_prom -r -h hostname

CAUTION

Only authorized service providers should use this command.

DESCRIPTION

cb_prom manipulates the contents of the Sun Enterprise 10000 Control Board flash PROM on the primary control board. This PROM is designated for field upgrades to the boot firmware required to download the control board executive (CBE).

OPTIONS

The following options are supported:

-d file [-f]

Dump the contents of the flash PROM to file. By default, -d does not overwrite file if it already exists. You can use -f, the force option, to override this safeguard.

-e

Erase the contents of the flash PROM.

-h hostname

Execute the cb_prom command on the control board named hostname.

-p file

Program the flash PROM with the contents of file.

-r

Display the revision of the flash PROM currently in use on the control board.

NOTES

An upgrade to or erasure of the boot firmware takes effect only after a control board reboot; for example, through cb_reset(1M).
