Managing Firmware in a NonStop Blade Complex
The NonStop Blade Complex Firmware Update for
Migrations From H06.03 or H06.04 to H06.07
Start and complete the Blade Complex Firmware Update guided procedure:
1. In the tree pane of the OSM Service Connection, right-click the Blade Complex
resource.
2. From the shortcut menu, select Actions.
3. When the Actions window appears, select Firmware Update from the Available
Actions list.
4. Click Perform action.
5. In the guided procedures interface, click Start in the Procedure Tasks List pane.
6. Follow and complete the guided procedure dialog boxes using this summary:
a. Update NonStop Blade Complex (NSBC) firmware:
1. Using the OSM Service Connection and the Blade Complex Firmware
Update guided procedure, complete the dialog boxes and update the
shadow firmware on each NonStop Blade Element.
2. Using the Switch Blade Element Firmware Images dialog box, select Yes.
3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for the other NonStop Blade Complexes.
b. Halt and then power cycle all processors:
1. Using OSM Low-Level Link, halt all the logical processors in the system.
2. Power cycle all processors as follows:
a. Log on to the OSM Low-Level Link.
b. On the tool bar, click System Discovery.
Caution. Do not power cycle any NonStop Blade Element until the firmware update is
complete. If you interrupt or stop the procedure before the firmware update has completed, the
NonStop Blade Element firmware will be left in an incomplete and inconsistent state. Also, if
there is an interruption during the firmware update, do not reset or power cycle the NonStop
Blade Elements. Instead, immediately start the procedure from the beginning.
Caution. Ensure that the system is running the new H06.07 RVU before starting this
procedure.
Note. OSM will preselect all the firmware that it detects as down-rev.
Note. Update all NonStop Blade Elements in the complex at this time.
Caution. Do not reset the NonStop Blade Elements after this step.
