decent enough machine but while booting I wa presented with errors about a bus running out of resources. I'll try to capture that off the console.
I figure that I may as well flash up the BIOS and SP and maybe that is the issue at play here. The SP says I have this : localhost $ inventory get software Name Revision Install Date Description BIOS-V40z V2.35.2.2 Mon Oct 23 13:59:48 2006 Platform BIOS for V40z servers SP Value-Add V2.4.0.10 Factory Installed SP Value-Add Software SP Base V2.4.0.10 Factory Installed SP Base Software localhost $ However this : http://www.sun.com/download/products.xml?id=45b0166d says I can have SP version 2.4.0.14 and V40z BIOS version 2.35.3.2 I do the download .. setup the NFS share etc etc and lo and behold that download only has 2.4.0.10 in it : ./sw_images/sp/spbase/V2.4.0.10/install.image I had to check the md5 SUM and yes I have the correct download but not the correct BIOS. That is odd. as for the strangeness during boot I will try to capture that with the console redirection feature. Thus far it appears on my DEC Terminal and no where else and that is odd indeed. It *should* be in the syslog somewhere also. I'm not very helpful here ... but I am pointing out that something is amiss with that V40z BIOS/SP update download and also that perhaps snv_69 has an issue with this hardware. Now I will try to fetch real data. Dennis _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
