H06.14 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide

◦ RAM firmware: Operational firmware is downloaded to the FCSA when you issue the

first START DISK command to the first disk drive in the fibre-channel loop.

◦ Use the OSM Service Connection to check the FCSA’s firmware version and update the

firmware, if needed. If the Compare State shows Down-rev, update the firmware. The

following example shows that the firmware is at an earlier version and needs to be

updated:

• G4SA. The OSM Service Connection displays G4SA firmware attributes and action under

the G4SA SAC object. To check or update G4SA firmware, locate and expand the G4SA,

then select its subcomponent G4SA SAC object. In the following example, the firmware

attributes show that the current firmware Version is the same as the available Default File

Version; no update is necessary. If the Compare State was Down-rev, you would use the

Firmware Update action to update the firmware:

For information on updating firmware, see the OSM online help on the OSM Multi-Resource Action

dialog box.

Table 8 shows the H-series ServerNet adapters that are supported in the H06.14 RVU. Note that

both the FCSA and the G4SA are supported in G-series RVUs as well.
