For more information on managing ME firmware, see:
• The planning guide or hardware installation manual for your system.
• The online help in the OSM Low-Level Link or OSM 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 ME firmware on the ServerNet Switch Board object in each IOAM 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 firmware for IOAMs:
1. Locate the ServerNet Switch Board on one Internal ServerNet Fabric: 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 a c7000 Enclosure
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 the ServerNet Switches:
1. Locate the ServerNet Switch on one Internal ServerNet Fabric: Select System > Enclosure 100
> 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.
5. Repeat for the other ServerNet Switch.
6. If the system includes an (optional) enclosure 101, repeat the process for both switches in that
enclosure. (The switches in Enclosure 101 are labeled 101.2.5 and 101.3.7.)
Updating ME Firmware on a VIO Enclosure and G16SE Enclosure
There is ME firmware on the VIO Logic Board object in each VIO enclosure.
