2. Record the version of the processor boot code.

3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 by using the SYSnn for your current RVU. For example:

Method 1: Using G06.24 OSM or TSM SPRs,

Update Processor Boot Code Using the Online

Option

This method allows you to update the processor boot code without resetting the

processors on completion of the update. You can use either TSM or OSM to update

the processor boot code using the online command option:

•

Using TSM, Update Processor Boot Code Using the Online Option and G06.24 or

Later TSM SPRs on page 8-5

•

Using OSM, Update Processor Boot Code Using the Online Option and G06.24 or

Later OSM SPRs on page 8-7

Caution: Before using the online boot code option for upgrading boot millicode to T7892ABD

or later, you must have the G06.24 or later version of either TSM server (T7945ABN) or all

OSM server-based SPRs (along with their prerequisites) installed and configured. Otherwise, a

processor halt will result.
