Solaris Ethernet Driver Patch Installation Instructions
Overview
Introduction
Cisco engineers have discovered that one of the Ethernet ports of the Sun Fire V880
server, the ce port, may fail periodically, causing an intermittent loss of
communications between the port and any attached devices. Engineers with Sun
Microsystems, the manufacturer of the Sun Fire V880 server, have developed a
software patch for the device driver of the ce port. Cisco engineers have tested the
software patch in their laboratories and have determined that installation of the
patch resolves issues associated with the failure of the ce port.

Note: If you want to learn more about the ce port, type man ce and then press Enter
from an xterm window on your Sun Fire V880 server. Furthermore, you can contact
Sun Microsystems to learn more about the condition that causes communication
failures on the ce port.

Purpose
These installation instructions provide procedures for the following tasks:
Determining whether your Sun Fire V880 server uses the ce port
Obtaining the patch file from Cisco’s FTP server
Preparing your system to load the patch file
Installing the patch file
Rolling back (if necessary) from the installed patch file
Audience
The procedures in this technical bulletin pertain to system operators of Cisco’s
Digital Broadband Delivery System (DBDS) who use the Sun Fire V880 server as
their Digital Network Control System (DNCS). Cisco engineers who help system
operators manage their system may also find these procedures useful.
