The original problem:
We have a 4100 that had one CPU, memory and the horse-and-saddle replaced.
Firmware version 6.1 was reinstalled. Now when the machine boots up the
messages identify it as an Alphaserver 4000, not a 4100. It's showing up as
a 4000 in /var/adm/messages and in uerf as well.
The solution:
Apparently when the PCI backplane and bridge were replaced the hardware tech
ran setup and entered some variables incorrectly. He identified the machine
as a 4000 instead of a 4100. Running the following commands corrected the
issue.
consvar -g sys_model_num
consvar -s sys_model_num 4100
consvar -a
Thanks to Dr. Thomas Blinn for his help!
