Description
Certain Solaris[TM] Operating System(OS) and Open Boot PROM(OBP) versions are required, when using specific CPU/Memory Modules within the Sun Fire[TM] V490V and V890 server platforms.


Steps to Follow
To ensure stable operation of SunFire V490 and SunFire V890 Sun Servers, the following minimum Solaris OS and OBP Firmware versions are required, when utilizing 1050 MHz, 1200 MHz, and 1350 MHz UltraSPARC IV CPU/Memory Modules (Jaguar), as well as 1500 MHz and 1800 MHz UltraSPARC IV+ CPU/Memory Modules (Panther).


Solaris OS and OpenBoot Firmware Requirements:

1800 Mhz

Solaris 9 9/05  Solaris 10 3/05 HW1

OBP 4.18.8

To verify that the proper version of the operating system is installed, examine the /etc/release file.  It should contain the text  Solaris X X/XX  or identify a Solaris OS release that is compatible with the Sun Fire V490 / V890 systems.

Within the Solaris Environment, enter:

    # /usr/sbin/prtconf -V

Or alternatively, from the ok prompt, enter:

    ok .version
