Issue Description: 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Change History:                                                         |
| ===============                                                         |
| Dec/10/04  Removed patches 115589-08, 116819-04 and replaced them with  |
|            M1.2.4.  Added NOTE regarding Release 1.2.3.1.               |
|                                                                         |
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------  

An "unconfigure" operation on a StorEdge 6320 system with Service Processor 
software version 1.2.3.1 will not successfully complete.  As a result, customers 
will be unable to change the IP address of the system.

NOTE: Release 1.2.3.1 was a point release for the factory only, and was never
      released as a downloadable baseline image to the field.  1.2.3.1 fixed 
      a yield problem with the SPA tray that was severely limiting production.  
      1.2.3.1 is functionally identical to version 1.2.3 and only a small 
      number of systems shipped to the field with the 1.2.3.1 version

To determine the SP software release for the StorEdge 6320, log on to the SP 
as root, and run "cat /etc/release".  The release version is listed at the 
bottom of the output.

This issue can occur when logging into the system as the setup user and
selecting Option 2 (unconfigure).  A message similar to the following will
be written to the /var/tmp/se6000configure.log file.

    DEB(21379): ERR: Default config file '/opt/SUNWse9ntcu/config.sys' 
                     does not exist!
                
There is no other indication that the operation failed.

This issue results from a typo in the M1.2.3.1 release, causing the unconfigure 
script to break.  It is addressed by a simple workaround (see below) or by 
installing the latest SP baseline image, M1.2.4 or later.

Implementation: 

---
        |   |   MANDATORY (Fully Proactive)
         ---               
         ---
        | X |   CONTROLLED PROACTIVE (per Sun Geo Plan) 
         ---                                          
         ---
        |   |   REACTIVE (As Required)
         ---

Corrective Action: 

The following recommendation is provided as a guideline for authorized
Sun Services Field Representatives who may encounter the above
mentioned issue.

There are two ways to fix this issue for the StorEdge 6320:
	
	1) Log on to the SP 
	
           a. Edit /usr/local/bin/ntc_config
           
           b. Search for "9nt" and, if found, change to "nt".
           
           c. Save changes.
           
	     Sample session:
	   
		[sp0]#  cd /usr/local/bin
		[sp0]#  vi ntc_config
		/9nt
		if found
		x
		:wq
		[sp0]# exit
		
	Or
	
	2) Install the latest SP Baseline Image, M1.2.4 or later.
 	   See FIN I1072-1 for details on how to obtain the latest 
 	   baseline image.

Comments: 

Remember that when using the vi editor through the NTC, Control-C 
should be used instead of Escape (Esc).
