Heads Up: Pluggable fwflash(1M)

Subject: Heads Up: Pluggable fwflash(1M)



PSARC/2008/151 pluggable fwflash(1M)
6616085 fwflash should be generic and pluggable


The fwflash(1M) firmware flashing tool has been enhanced to
provide a plugin interface, which allows it to be the generic
firmware flashing tool for OpenSolaris.

As part of this project, InfiniBand HCA flashing support has
been migrated to use the new architecture.

If you have a need to flash firmware on the SAS expanders in
Sun's JBODs, then you can now do so using this tool.

For details on the plugin architecture, please review the
PSARC materials at http://opensolaris.org/os/community/arc/caselog/2008/151


If you find bugs, please file them against solaris/utility/fwflash.
