SPARC T5-4 Server Service Manual

Verify the System Configuration PROM

1. Verify that the banner display includes an Ethernet address and a Host ID value.

   The Ethernet address and Host ID values are read from the system configuration PROM. Their presence in the banner verifies that the SP and the host can read the system configuration PROM.

     # ifconfig -a
