I have an e4500 w/ 2 sbus boards and 3 cpu/mem boards installed. The OBP
version on the cpu boards is 3.2.25. The FCODE on the sbus boards is 1.8.25.
I have to add 2 more cpu/mem boards to the system. The new boards have the
latest OBP 3.2.30. All (old and new) boards have 400MHz procs and 1gb
dimms.
The system handbook states that boards w/ 400MHz (8mb) modules require OBP
3.2.21. Both OBP versions are higher than this. There's no mention of the
boards requiring the same OBP version.
Is there a reason I should upgrade the existing boards to match the new
boards?
If so, should I use the flash-update patch or the little documented
prom-copy command?
It seems that the FCODE version on the sbus boards is coordinated w/ the OBP
version of cpu boards, should that be upgraded as well?
If so, can you do a prom-copy from a cpu board to an sbus board or should I
use flash-update patch?
Thanks for the help.
- Jeff
