Parstatus Firmware Error
I have recently re-imaged an 11i RP8400 n-partition with a "make" tape taken from an nPar on a RP7400.
When I do a parstatus, I get the following error message.
parstatus
Note: No action specified. Default behavior is display all.
CIM_ERR_FAILED: A general error occurred that is not covered by a more specific
error code: "@3:Firmware error.[Error from hdc_cab_info. (HDC-9)]"
Note: Unable to get any HP_NParCabinet information.
Error: Unable to get complex information.
Any idea's on what I need to do to fix would be appreciated.
Regards
Colin

Re: Parstatus Firmware Error
Could you try reseting the MP and check.

Re: Parstatus Firmware Error
I think n-Par complex profile data copied from Rp74x to Rp84xx.
If you run the same command from some other n-Par within same Rp8400, is that OK?

Re: Parstatus Firmware Error
Your problem stems from the fact that you imaged a cell-based system from a non-cell-based system.
You're probably missing some necessary kernel drivers that the rp8400 requires.
IF you can determine just what they are, you could load them individually. But the best way to solve this is use an image from a cell-based system on that rp8400.
Rgds,
Jeff

Re: Parstatus Firmware Error
I have reset the MP, still getting the same error message.
Thanks
Colin
TT,
I can still run the parstatus on the other n-par.
Thanks
Colin
Jeff,
Thanks, I will review the kernel drivers!

Re: Parstatus Firmware Error
I think you need to install "nPartition Provider".
You can get it at

Re: Parstatus Firmware Error
# shutdown -R now
**note the capital R**
once the system shuts down, press Control-B to get the the MP.
MP> CM
MP:CM> CC
Choose G for "create genesis partition", and select cell 0
MP:CM> BO
select partition 0
go to the console and wait for the system to boot, and then execute the parmodify/parcreate commands to create/modify your partitions.

Re: Parstatus Firmware Error
I did try installing "n-Par Provider", but I still get the same error.
Thanks

Colin
Scott,
I have two nPar's in this complex, once I have re-created the Genesis partion what will I need to use the parmodify/parcreate for? What information would I need to retain to recreate these partitions?
Thanks
Regards
Colin

Re: Parstatus Firmware Error
I guess the "hd_fabric" driver is missing in the kernel. Check if the driver is loaded in the kernel using
# kmsystem -q hd_fabric
# kmadmin -Q hd_fabric
If not, then you need to add "hd_fabric" driver in the kernel. Add this driver entry in the system file, rebuild the kernel and reboot npar. You can follow the procudure given below
# cd /stand/build
# rm -r *
# cp -p /stand/system /stand/system.prev
# cp -p /stand/vmunix /stand/vmunix.org
# /usr/lbin/sysadm/system_prep -v -s system
It will create file "system" in /stand/build
# vi /stand/build/system
Insert under the heading
"* Drivers/Subsystems" a new line and type
hd_fabric
# mk_kernel -s system
# mv /stand/build/system /stand/system
# /usr/sbin/kmupdate
# cd /
# shutdown -r -y 0 ( Don't use reboot )
Once the system boots, check using
# kmadmin -Q hd_fabric
# parstatus

Re: Parstatus Firmware Error
# parmodify -p 0 -a 2:base:y:ri -P "Partition 0"
# parcreate -c 1:base:y:ri -c 3:base:y:ri -P "Partition 1"
# shutdown -R now
press
MP> VFP
wait until all four cells say "boot is blocked"
press
MP> CM
MP:CM> BO
select partition 0, then
MP:CM> BO
select partition 1.
your partitions should then be back to their original state.
