requisite software, and also perform an action in the OSM Service Connection before halting the
system:
• OSM Service Connection, T0682 H02 ACV or later
This SPR must be installed on $SYSTEM.SYS00 (having it in any other $SYSTEM.SYSnn is
insufficient) for the Down System CLIM Firmware Update to work correctly.
• OSM Console Tools product T0634 G06 ABB and later
• SSH product T0801 ABA or later
• Update OSM Low Level Link to the requisite version as specified in the T0853 softdoc.
Overview of Optimized CLIM Software and Firmware Update Procedure
1. “Prepare CLIMs for Down System Firmware Update” (page 166)
2. “Halt the Processors” (page 166)
3. “Update CLIM Software on a Down System”
4. “Update CLIM Firmware on a Down System” (page 167)
5. “Load the System” (page 168)
Prepare CLIMs for Down System Firmware Update
In order to update CLIM firmware while the system is down, you must first perform the Prepare for
Down System CLIM Firmware Update action in the OSM Service Connection. The action is located
under the CLIMs object (the container object under which all individual CLIMs on the system reside).
For more information, see the OSM Service Connection online help. Upon successful completion
of this action, you will be able to perform the updates when the system is down, using the Down
System CLIM Firmware Update Tool (see “Update CLIM Firmware on a Down System” (page 167)).
Halt the Processors
Halt all the processors by using the OSM Low-Level Link, as described in the <RVU> Software
Installation and Upgrade Guide.
Update CLIM Software on a Down System
Use the OSM Low-Level Link to update the CLIM software on all CLIMs in parallel.
NOTE: This procedure requires two NonStop system consoles (NSCs).
1. Install CLIM software on both NSCs.
You will update half of the CLIMs using the first NSC and the other half using the second NSC.
2. From each NSC, start multiple OSM Low-Level Link sessions, one for each CLIM to be updated.
3. For each OSM Low-Level Link session:
a. Choose Software Update.
b. Enter the IP address of this NSC.
c. Select the software version to use (IP address altered for example):
