Managing Firmware in a NonStop Blade Complex
•
In the Firmware Update Status screen, you can see the firmware modules
updating. Some firmware modules take longer than others. The Continue button is
dimmed until all of the modules have completed.
•
Every time you run the Blade Complex Firmware Update procedure, a new XML
log file is created on the system console in C:\ZSUPPORT\OSM\pdklogs\
directory. The XML log file does not update automatically as the procedure runs. To
update the information in the XML log file, click Refresh in your Web updateable
browser.
The NonStop Blade Complex Firmware Update for
Migrations From H06.03 or H06.04 to H06.09
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.
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 H06.09 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.
