27367   Flash updates on SC fail on Sun Fire (3800-6800) using SunWebserver 2.0   14 Aug 2001

Status Issued

Description
Performing flashupdates on the System Controller, using http with SunWebserver 2.0,
fails with "Unable to load flash images into memory" during Auto Flashupdate. 
firmware updates on system boards and I/O boats work fine.                  
SOLUTION SUMMARY:
See Bug ID 4452029 for suggested fix, or Use Apache webserver or FTP for flash updates to the System Controller.                  
INTERNAL SUMMARY:
From Bug ID 4452029.            

The fix has been putback into ScApp 5.12.5_07 *and* RTOS 18. You need *both* for the fix to be effective. If RTOS is outdated or ScApp is too old, the flashing will occur like before (done in Java). If the 2 new versions are installed, VxWorks will see the autoflash bootflag and will do the job.

[note: if you only flash ScApp, there will be only one reboot instead of two.]
