The AAK SPR is available for the Maintenance Entity firmware. This SPR lifts a restriction for
IOAME modules connected to S-series enclosures when T1089ABR firmware has been installed
on the S-series processors.
CAUTION: Ensure that the system is running the new H06.12 RVU before starting this procedure.
CAUTION: You should not use the Multi-Resource Actions dialog (in the OSM Service
Connection) to update ME FPGA simultaneously on both fabrics, or a system outage might occur.
CAUTION: You should not use the Multi-Resource Actions dialog (in the OSM Service
Connection) to update ME FW simultaneously on both fabrics, or a system outage might occur.
For Integrity NonStop NS5000 and Integrity NonStop NS16000-series systems only: Use the
OSM Service Connection to update the ME firmware for processor switches.
1. Locate the ServerNet Switch Board on one Internal ServerNet Fabric (in the tree pane, select
System > Fabric Group > Internal ServerNet Fabric > Processor Switch > ServerNet Switch
Board).
2. Right-click the ServerNet Switch Board object and select Actions.
3. In the Actions dialog box, select ME Firmware Update and click Perform Action.
4. Monitor the update.
5. Repeat for the processor switch on the other Internal ServerNet Fabric.
To use the OSM Service Connection to update the ME firmware for each IOAM:
1. Locate the ServerNet Switch Board on one IOAM (in the tree pane, select System > Group
> IOAM Enclosure > IOAM > ServerNet Switch Board).
2. Right-click the ServerNet Switch Board object and select Actions.
3. In the Actions dialog box, select ME Firmware Update and click Perform Action.
4. Monitor the update.
5. Repeat for the processor switch on the other Internal ServerNet Fabric.
You can also check and update ME firmware using the OSM Low-Level Link. For more
information, see the OSM Low-Level Link online help.
For Integrity NonStop NS1000 and Integrity NonStop NS14000 systems with IOAM enclosure:
Use the OSM Service Connection to update the ME firmware for processor switches.
