Firmware Updates
•
To manage an H-series target from a G-series host system, you must install the
G01/H01 client version and then install the T6031AAP DSM/SCM SPR on the
G-series system.
•
You must also install the latest SWID PVU at the same time.
•
The latest DSM/SCM client version is available only on the SUT unless you have
ordered new system consoles.
For details, see the DSM/SCM User's Guide and the H06.03 Software Installation and
Upgrade Guide.

Guided procedures for processor firmware update
Similar to G-series firmware updates, you must update firmware before performing
a system load on the H-series. In the OSM Service Connection, use the Firmware
Update action, located under the Processor Complex action, to launch a guided
procedure to update the halted-state services (HSS) firmware, which includes HSS
proper, Primitive state code (pState), SCSI firmware, and bootstrap. Attributes
under the Slice Firmware object indicates whether the firmware on each Blade
Element is downrev and must be updated:
°
PAL and SAL firmware
°
Primitive state firmware
°
Halted-state services firmware
°
Disk boot firmware
°
ISP 1040 firmware (controller firmware for legacy I/O)
°
Baseboard management controller firmware
For more information on using OSM to update firmware, see the guided procedure
online help and the H06.03 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide.

G4SA and FCSA firmware
Before connecting a G-series system to an H-series system, you must first update
the firmware for both the G-series G4SA and FCSA. Firmware for both the G4SA
and FCSA adapters used for G-series systems is not initially compatible with
Note. In software interfaces and messages, you might see:
•
The term slice, which is equivalent to the term NonStop Blade Element (NSBE). In a
future RVU, slice will be replaced with NonStop Blade Element, Blade Element, or
NSBE.
•
The term processor complex, which is equivalent to the term NonStop Blade Complex
(NSBC). In a future RVU, processor complex will be replaced with NonStop Blade
Complex, Blade Complex, or NSBC.
