Re: [Solaris-Users] 20 gig harddisk turns to be 10 gig on UltraSparc5

AFAIK, by default the jumper is set to be write-enable, so you can try
installing the patch failed. It will give warning if the jumper is set to write-protected.
 
If this happen, you should get the overview of Ultra 10 system board
to see the system board configuration and find the jumper. It will be much
helpful if your contract agreement with Sun Service Provider hasn't expire yet
so you can consult them about changing the jumper setting

Hi,
 
I just checked my OBP,
 
# prtconf -pv | grep OBP
        version: 'OBP 3.11.9 1998/03/06 10:31'
                    version: 'OBP 3.11.9 1998/03/06 10:31' + 'POST 2.2.9 1998/02
/19 17:54'
I guess i have a pretty old one...
I will download the 106121-18  from:
 
When I do this ...do I really need to open my cover and change some jumper settings?
because i dont understand this step in the readme:
 
4 e) Set JP2 to write enable at 2+3. Default is write protect at 1+2
      Locate jumper JP2.

      Jumper JP2 provides a write enable/disable mechanism for the
      Flash PROM.  JP2 normally connects pins 1+2, which causes the
      Flash PROM to be write protected.  To enable patch installation,
      write enable the Flash PROM by MOVING the JP2 jumper from pins 1+2
      to pins 2+3.

      **IMPORTANT NOTE**: If this jumper is NOT set to WRITE ENABLE, the
        Flash update will fail.

      (If you have difficulty locating JP2 then consult Figure 1-3 in the "Sun Flash PROM Guide for Workstations and Workgroup Servers -
       Standalone Version").
 
Thanks for your help ...
 
Bye

try updating the OBP.
 
I have an Ultra 10 (the same motherboard etc..) with a 80gig ide disk.
 
latest OBP:
OBP_3.31.0,POST_3.1.0,OBDIAG_P2.9
patch 106121-18
details from sun say for mem:
 

Four DIMM slots

Install DIMMs in pairs (16 MB, 32 MB, 64 MB, and 128 MB DIMMs); quad provides best performance

512 MB maximum

 

but i've installed 1 gig in the Ultra 5, but i had to remove the floppy to get the DIMMS in as the 256M dimms are much taller, the floppy won't fit in.

 

hope this helps

 

Dan
