J06.04 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide

If you have legacy NonStop S-series enclosures attached to your BladeSystem (Carrier Grade only),
you will also have service processor (SP) firmware to check. For more information on updating SP
firmware, see the current G-Series Software Installation and Upgrade Guide.
Updating ME Firmware
Table 2 shows the current ME firmware information for ServerNet switches and IOAMs:

For more information on managing ME firmware, see:
• the NonStop BladeSystem Planning Guide or the NonStop BladeSystem Hardware Installation
Manual.
• the online help in the OSM Low-Level Link or Service Connection.
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.
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 of NonStop BladeSystems.
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 formware for IOAMs:
1. Locate the ServerNet Switch Board on one Internal ServerNet Fabric, as follows:
• 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 IOAM switch on the other Internal ServerNet Fabric.
Updating ME Firmware on c7000 Enclosures
There is maintenance entity (ME) firmware on the ServerNet Switches within the c7000 enclosures
of NonStop BladeSystems.
NOTE: In the OSM Low-Level Link, a ServerNet Switch is represented as an ME object.
To use the OSM Service Connection to update the ME firmware for IOAMs:
1. Locate the ServerNet Switch on one Internal ServerNet Fabric, as follows:
• Select System > Group > Enclosure 100 > IOAM > ServerNet Switch
The switches are labeled 100.2.5 and 100.3.7. You can select either switch.
2. Right-click the ServerNet Switch object and select Actions.
3. In the Actions dialog box, select ME Firmware Update and click Perform Action.
4. Monitor the update.
