Updating Firmware
Bootstrap Microcode Update Requirements for the G06.24
RVU
The disk and tape bootstrap programs (T8494) are unchanged in G06.24. A new disk
bootstrap program (T8494AAA) became available in G06.06. Revive your mirrored disk
as soon as possible after performing a system load.
Updating Firmware
Updateable firmware exists in many of the components in your system, such as:
•
PMFs and IOMFs
•
ServerNet LAN and WAN adapters
•
ServerNet device adapters
•
ServerNet Switch (6770) and ServerNet Switch (6780)
•
IOAM Maintenance Entity (See your service provider for more information.)
You can perform many firmware updates manually using OSM, but some can be
performed with SCF or by following TSM or OSM-guided procedures.
NonStop Cluster Switch Firmware
To monitor and manage a ServerNet Cluster product configured with 6780 switches,
you can use either the OSM Service Connection or SCF commands. See the
ServerNet Cluster 6780 Operations Guide for more information.
For information on required software, installation, migration, and fallback procedures,
see the ServerNet Cluster 6780 Planning and Installation Guide.
ServerNet Adapter Firmware
You can manage firmware in most ServerNet adapters either manually with either OSM
or TSM, or automatically, when the autofirmup attribute is set by SCF (the default when
you add an adapter). If you choose to disable the autofirmup attribute of these
adapters, then you must use the OSM Service Connection or TSM Service Application
to manage the firmware manually based on the information in the table below.
Note. The ServerNet/FX and ServerNet/FX2 adapters do not provide the autofirmup capability.
The firmware for these adapters must be managed manually.
