2.2.2 Checking the Software and Firmware
Configuration
The software and firmware configurations and versions affect the operation of the
server. To change the configuration or investigate a problem, check the latest
information and check for any problems in the software.
Software and firmware varies according to users:
■ The software configuration and version can be checked in the Solaris OS. Refer to
the Solaris 10 documentation for more information.
■ The firmware configuration and versions can be checked from the maintenance
terminal using XSCF Shell commands. Refer to the SPARC Enterprise
M3000/M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 Servers XSCF User’s Guide for more detailed
information.
Check the software and firmware configuration information with assistance from the
system administrator. However, if you have received login authority from the
system administrator, the commands shown in the table can be used from the
maintenance terminal for these checks.
