Solution 1313793.1 : Sun SPARC[TM] Enterprise M3000, M4000, M5000 - How to correct an invalid or wrong brandid setting on a new xscfu.

Applies to:

Sun SPARC Enterprise M3000 Server - Version: Not Applicable and later   [Release: N/A and later ]
Sun SPARC Enterprise M4000 Server - Version: Not Applicable and later    [Release: N/A and later]

Information in this document applies to any platform.

Goal

Correcting an invalid or misconfigured brandid on a new Mx000 xscfu.

An incorrect brandid can be identified by typing <tab><tab> at the XSCF prompt with the current user in "Normal" mode. This sequence will display a list of all available commands. If the command "enablecodboard" is present in the list, then the brandid is set incorrectly.

This procedure is for a new xscfu that doesn't need to retain a configuration.
To perform this same procedure on a previously configured xscfu then use <Document 1313741.1>

Solution

Internal only process

Login to the xscf and initiate an escalation mode session.

Refer to <Document 1002928.1> for the necessary steps.
In step #3 'enableescalation' and 'escalation' should be substituted for 'enableservice' and 'service'.

Check the current brandid setting: ( 1 = SUN, 2 = FUJITSU, 3 = FSC )
escalation# /scf/bin/brandid SunMC : off REMCS : on RCI : on DIMM-PCE : off DIDR : off SPDR : on SvcTag : off brandid : 2 <=== display : 2 escalation#

Set the correct brandid:
escalation# /scf/bin/brandid -s brandid=1 brandid : 2 -> 1

Verify the correct brandid is set ( see step 2 ).
Settings will take effect the next time the platform is powered

Clear the fru area:
escalation# /hcp0/scfprog/bin/clearfru # command may be located /scf/bin/clearfru

Restore factory defaults:
escalation# /scf/init/scf_initetc/setdefaults factory setdefaults will execute XSCF : all data clear OPNL : all data clear (exclude SYSTEM ID data) *** XSCF reboot then execute clear operation automatically. *** Are you OK? [y|n] : y .....

XSCF BOOT STOP (recover by NFB-OFF/ON)

Power cycle the system.
Log back in and disablemodes:
