sysfwdownload problem
(OP)
Good day and Happy New Year to all our readers.
I'm currently struggling to use sysfwdownload with the -u option to upgrade the firmware on a T2000. According to everything I've read the -u option should automatically restart the box, applying the firmware upgrade as it does. The system is set to auto-boot?=true.
In this instance the download completes successfully, but the system doesn't shut down and restart as I had been expecting. In fact nothing else seems to happen and there are no nasty messages at the Service Processor console either.
Does anyone have any clue what might or might not be happening? Thanks.

Sun_System_Firmware-6_7_12-SPARC_Enterprise_T2000.bin
Sun_System_Firmware-6_7_12-Sun_Fire_T2000.bin
I have been using the Sun Fire one on the basis that uname -a returns:
SunOS server 5.10 Generic_137137-09 sun4v sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-T200
but I'm not sure whether that is correct or not. Again, if anyone can confirm or otherwise I would appreciate it.

If it says sunfire that is the image I use.
There are actually Sparc Enterprise and Sunfire versioms of the box so you are using the correct image.
As far as your sysfwdownload -u I have not used that myself but the -u is supposed to do automatic update of the firmware and do a powerdown and reset where if you did not use the -u you would have to execute the flashupdate command.
So essentially if your firmware was updated then the -u did its job. if you run showlogs does it show a sc reset?

Thanks again - I'll report back!
