J06.10 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide

For detailed information on updating FCSA, G4SA, and CCSA firmware using the OSM Service
Connection, see the OSM online help on the OSM Multi-Resource Action dialog box.
• FCSA. The FCSA has two ports that allow connection to external fibre-channel-enabled devices.
The firmware files are preinstalled on the FCSAs in a new NonStop BladeSystem. You might
need to update these firmware files using either OSM or SCF.
◦ The flash boot firmware (T0630G06) contains version information about the boot firmware
located in the FCSA FLASH memory. The boot firmware runs on every FCSA after power
on and after hardware or firmware errors, and is re-downloaded to initialize the adapter
and to accept downloaded firmware from the processor. The AAN SPR is available for
this T number.
◦ The flash firmware (T0612G06) contains version information about the operational
firmware located in the FCSA FLASH memory. Flash firmware runs the FCSAs used for
system load so that the processor boot millicode can read the system-load disk.
◦ 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, using the FCSA firmware objects and actions described in the OSM Service
Connection User’s Guide. 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:
