H06.25 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide

Updating ME Firmware on an I/O Adapter Module (IOAM)

There is maintenance entity (ME) firmware on the ServerNet Switch Board object in each I/O

Adapter Module.

NOTE: In the OSM Low-Level Link, a ServerNet Switch Board is represented as an ME object.

To use the OSM Service Connection to update the ME firmware for IOAMs:

1. Locate the ServerNet Switch Board on one Internal ServerNet Fabric.

• For NS5000 and NS16000 series systems: In the tree pane, select System > Group > >

IOAM Enclosure > IOAM > ServerNet Switch Board.

• For NS1000, NS3000, and NS14000 systems that contain IOAMs: Select System >

Fabric 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 IOAM switch on the other Internal ServerNet Fabric.

Updating ME Firmware on a VIO Enclosure

There is Maintenance Entity (ME) firmware on the VIO Logic Board object in each VIO enclosure.

NOTE: In the OSM Low-Level Link, a VIO logic board is represented as an IME object.

To use the OSM Service Connection to update the ME firmware for VIO enclosures:

1. Locate the VIO Logic Board: in the tree pane, select one of the following, depending on the

type of server:

• Select System > Fabric Group > Internal ServerNet Fabric > VIO Module > VIO Logic

Board.

• Select System > Group

nnn

> VIO Module > VIO Logic Board

2. Right-click the VIO Logic 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 VIO module in the other fabric.

Updating ME FPGA

Table 3 shows the ME FPGA file name and location information for both processor switches and

IOAMs, and for VIO enclosures. For firmware levels, see the NonStop Firmware Matrices document

located at: www.hp.com/go/nonstop-docs.

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.
