6.6.1 How to Check the Serial Number and Firmware Version of the PCI Expansion Unit
The largest firmware version number indicates the latest firmware. Check the current firmware version before starting an update.
The procedures will be different for maintenance with the system stopped or for active maintenance.
Check Method When the System is Stopped
  1. Switch the mode switches for the master chassis and those chassis whose XSCFs are in the standby state to Service mode.
    - For the SPARC M12-1/M12-2/M10-1/M10-4
    This is always the master chassis since it has a single-unit configuration.

    - For a building block configuration (no crossbar box)
    Change the mode switches of BB-ID#00 and #01 to Service mode.

    - For a building block configuration (with crossbar boxes)
    Change the mode switches of BB-ID#80 and #81 to Service mode.
  2. Log in to the XSCF shell of the master chassis.
    - For the SPARC M12-1/M12-2/M10-1/M10-4
    This is always the master chassis since it has a single-unit configuration.

    - For the SPARC M12-2S/M10-4S (without the crossbar box)
    The master chassis is the chassis where the MASTER LED (green) on the rear of the chassis of BB-ID#00 and #01 is on.

    - For the SPARC M12-2S/M10-4S (with the crossbar box)
    The master chassis is the chassis where the MASTER LED (green) on the rear of the chassis of BB-ID#80 and #81 is on.
  3. Execute the setpparparam command, and disable the Auto boot function of the physical partition.
    In the following example, PPAR-ID 0 is set for Auto boot.
    If Auto boot is disabled for the physical partition, go to step 4.
XSCF> setpparparam -p 0 -s bootscript "setenv auto-boot? false"
  1. Execute the poweron command to start the system.
    For a building block configuration, specify the physical partition connected to the PCI expansion unit, and start the system.
    In the following example, PPAR-ID 0 is specified.
XSCF> poweron -p 0
  1. If multiple PCI expansion units are connected, execute the ioxadm list command to check the combination of the link card and the I/O board.
XSCF> ioxadm list

  1. Execute the ioxadm -v list command to check the serial number and the firmware version of the PCI expansion unit.
    [Location] displays the last four digits of the serial number of the PCI expansion unit, and [FW Ver] displays the firmware version of the link card ("CARD" shown on [Type]) and that of the I/O board ("IOBOARD" shown on [Type]).
    The following example shows that "2007" is the last four digits of the serial number of the PCI expansion unit and "1080" is the firmware version of the link card and the I/O board.

  1. A firmware version is displayed as a four-digit release number in "xyyz" format. Each release number is indicated in "xyyz" format, as follows.
    - x: Major release number

    - yy: Minor release number

    - z: Micro release number
