Installing Firmware Patches on the rp5470/L3000 and

NOTE Upgrading firmware on a Superdome must be performed by
Hewlett-Packard qualified service personnel only. Please contact your
local HP Support Representative to schedule a convenient time for this
firmware upgrade service.
On the rp5470/L3000 and rp7400/N4000 servers, for firmware patches to
take effect in a vPars environment, follow this procedure:
1. Shut down all the virtual partitions.
2. Reboot the server into standalone mode using the primary path. This
consists of the following:
a. At the MON> prompt, type reboot
b. If needed, interrupt the boot sequence at the BCH> and using
the primary path, boot /stand/vmunix instead of /stand/vpmon.
For example:
BCH> bo pri
