some OBP patches are withdrawn

Hi,

In today's patchdiag.xref I noticed that the OBP (Flash PROM) patches 
for some machines have been withdrawn. The patch READMEs refer to a 
problem with certain machines on OBP firmware 4.30.3 being unbootable 
when a PCI card with an internal pci-pci bridge is installed in a 
certain PCI slot (CR 6890136).

No idea if this affects a lot of people, but here's a list of the 
patches which have been marked as BAD:

140686-01: Hardware/PROM: Sun Blade 1500 (non Silver) Flash PROM Update
140687-01: Hardware/PROM: Sun Blade 1500 Silver Flash PROM Update
140688-01: Hardware/PROM: Sun Blade 2500 (non Silver) Sun Fire V250 
Flash PROM Update
140689-01: Hardware/PROM: Sun Blade 2500 Silver Flash PROM Update
142700-01: Hardware/PROM: Sun Fire V210/V240 Netra 210/240 Flash PROM Update
142705-01: Hardware/PROM: Sun Fire V125 Flash PROM Update

hth,

Martin.

patch 127553 not displayed when list?

hello all,
i have sunrays servers, and i often verify the new releases patches with 
pca.
But as i have:
  penelope-root% /etc/scripts/pca -l 127553
Using /var/tmp/patchdiag.xref from Feb/02/10
Host: penelope (SunOS 5.10/Generic_142900-03/sparc/sun4u)
List: 127553 (1/57)

Patch  IR   CR RSB Age Synopsis
------ -- - -- --- --- 
-------------------------------------------------------
127553 -- < 07 -S-  57 Sun Ray Core Services version 4.0 Patch Update

this patch never appears when i did a full listing:
penelope-root% /etc/scripts/pca -l | grep -i Ray
penelope-root%

Where am i wrong?

thanks in advance,

gerard

Hi,

> Where am i wrong?

I guess you don't have SRSS 4.0 installed, that's why 127553 doesn't 
show up as missing. And supposedly you have all patches for your actual 
version of SRSS installed, that's why no patch shows up as missing.
Verify with "pca -l all | grep -i ray".

I've seen your message on the sunray mailing list. Am I right in that 
this is actually about the same issue - the fact that the Sun Ray 
firmware shows a patch ID which isn't really installed? I think 
"ottomeister" explained that pretty well in his reply.

Today's patchdiag.xref has new revisions of the affected patches which 
are supposed to fix this issue:

   Patch  IR   CR RSB Age Synopsis
   ------ -- - -- --- --- ----------------------------------------------
   141505 -- < 07 RS-   1 SunOS 5.10_x86: ipf patch
   141506 -- < 07 RS-   1 SunOS 5.10: ipf patch

The SunAlert hasn't been updated yet, but I'm sure that's going to 
happen soon as well.

I was waiting for those, they've given me a bad time lately...

PCA stops for SunSolve account

Hi Martin, all,

I've got a minor gripe with PCA lately, I've had a look, but I might 
have missed something.
My SunSolve account is not tied to a contract anymore, so I can only get 
public patches.
That's fine, except that now, when I start pca -i mrs and go to watch a 
movie/have several cups of coffee/bed, I come back later only to find it 
stopped on a contract patch to ask for another login/password.

Is there a way to avoid that, so that it'll just give up on those 
without stopping?

Ok, not a big deal, I know, but I thought that it's been too long 
without any request on my part 

Thanks,

Laurent
