Re: Upgrading PROM on a U10?

I have an U10 with a 360MHz UltraSPARC IIi CPU module

old for this CPU...

Could someone take it on them to upgrade my PROM? I'll send
the PROM, someone upgrades it and then sends me the PROM back...

To expensive to ship the whole unit :)
Turbo,

I would highly recommend setting up netboot and netbooting the boot prom upgrade. Its fairly easy to do. I did it by setting up dhcpd and tftpd on another box and then booting the sparc box as follows.

ok boot net:dhcp,<tftp server IP>,<name of upgrade file>,<ip address to be assigned>

For example:

ok boot net:dhcp,192.168.0.100,flash-upgrade,192.168.0.101
