Managing Microcode and Firmware for NonStop NS-Series Servers

NOTE: Trained HP service providers will update the firmware when they install any

field-replaceable units (FRUs). Firmware, unless otherwise noted, is considered

customer-updateable.

You must manage all microcode and firmware within your system properly, updating it as

necessary when new versions become available. Failure to do so can result in a wide range of

system problems, from intermittent faults to partial or complete system outages.

NOTE: Always check Scout for the most recent updateable firmware.

Although OSM does display firmware revision information (Downrev, Same, or Uprev), you

can enter the FILEINFO command to see firmware files using the FILEINFO command.

Enter this FILEINFO command, if you are connected to a NonStop S-series server, to check for

location and file information for CPUCODE and SPCODE:

$SYSTEM STARTUP 7> FILEINFO $SYSTEM.SYS*.*CODE*

Enter this FILEINFO command to check for location and file information for the HSS firmware:

$SYSTEM STARTUP 7> FILEINFO $SYSTEM.SYS*.*FIRM*

Enter this FILEINFO command to check for location and file information for other firmware,

such as ServerNet Clustering:

$SYSTEM STARTUP 7> FILEINFO $SYSTEM.SYS??.M????

OSM displays firmware version information, including file names and a Compare State attribute,

which compares the current version against the default or available version. Outside of OSM,

you can use the FILEINFO command to see firmware files.
