This problem has been seen since the introduction of the 4.1x firmware when you must reset NVRAM and restore certain settings manually. When attempting to add the IP address manually, for example, a 'Unique Controller Id' popup window will be displayed if the controller unique id is set to zero. A value will need to be programmed before proceeding.

You will need to reset the controller for this to take effect.

Release 1180 of the SAF-TE firmware addresses this problem and is included in patch 113722-12 which can be found on Sunsolve.

OR

sccli> show unique-id
unique-identifier: 00042

If the Chassis Serial Number or the controller unique identifier appears to be 0, you will need to manually program the controller unique identifier.

It is recommended that you use the saved controller unique identifier from the sccli show config command taken at an earlier date. For example,

 sccli> show config

 Vendor: SUN
Product: StorEdge 3310
Revision: 413B
Peripheral Device Type: 0x0
NVRAM Defaults: 413B 3310 S440S
Bootrecord version: 1.31G
Serial Number: 002A8A
Page 80 Serial Number: 00004238C5508F00
Page 83 Logical Unit Device ID: 600C0FF00000000000004238C5508F00
IP Address: 129.154.70.165
Page D0 Target ID: 0
Ethernet Address: 00:C0:FF:80:00:42
Device Type: Primary
unique-identifier: 00042
controller-name: ""

In this example, the saved unique-indentifier '00042' value would be used.

Or you may use the recorded chassis serial number, as instructed in the SCSI Controller Replacement Guide.

To set the subsystem's 5-digit hexadecimal serial number use
the 'set unique-identifier' command to a non-zero hexadecimal value.

For example,

 sccli>set unique-id 00042
WARNING: This may cause device names to change.
Are you sure? y
sccli: the controller must be reset before this change will become effective

To alternately modify the controller unique identifier in the telnet firmware interface in the Main Menu, enter View and edit Configuration Parameters, then enter Controller Parameters and Controller unique identifier (hex). You can now program a nonzero value.

With either interface, you will need to reset the controller for this to take effect.

NOTE: If you use a "common" value, e.g. 1, this could create problems in a network environment since the Unique ID forms part of the reported MAC address (could cause problems with rarp tables), so this value is not recommended.
