Sun Network QDR InfiniBand Gateway Switch - Version Not Applicable to Not Applicable [Release N/A]Sun Datacenter InfiniBand Switch 36 - Version Not Applicable to Not Applicable [Release N/A]
Information in this document applies to any platform.
This failure in upgrade due to corrupt rpm database is ONLY for NM2 36p running firmware 2.1 or older, and upgrading/downgrading to firmware 2.1 or older.
For all upgrade/downgrade for NM2 GW firmwares, for upgrade to NM2 36p firmware 2.2 (from firmware 2.1) and upgrade/downgrade from NM2 36p firmware 2.2 (to other 2.2's and downgrade to 2.1.6 or 2.1.8 using the downgrade packages part of the MOS releases), image install is used as underlying firmware upgrade mechanism and you will not be impacted by a corrupt rpm database, and in such cases, the way to correct such a corrupt rpm database (in case you want to correct it but not do any upgrade), is to do a reinstall using the load command with the -force option.
Goal
Firmware upgrade on Infiniband switches may fail due to corruption in the RPM database
