Upgrading to S7800 PMF CRUs

option is available on all S-series systems except S7000.

G06.06 provides a new disk bootstrap program. If you are migrating from an RVU

prior to G06.06, you must replace the disk bootstrap microcode with the new

version.

Upgrading to S7800 PMF CRUs

You must perform these steps in exactly the order listed here, even if you have

successfully completed previous upgrades by doing these steps in a different order.

1 Install the SUT and appropriate RVUs. For further instructions, see the

G06.23 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide (or a later version).

If you are running G06.16 or an earlier RVU and migrating to a later RVU,

see the appropriate G06.xx verson of the Software Installation and

Upgrade Guide. The migration involves different considerations from other

migrations you might have performed in the past. For those migrating from

a pre-G06.06 RVU, the guide describes a step needed after the SUT is

installed.

2 If you are migrating from an RVU prior to G06.06, replace the bootstrap

microcode.

3 Update service processor firmware.

4 Update the processor boot code.

If you are running G06.24 or later or if SPRs T2728AAL (OSM) or

T7945ABN (TSM) are installed and running, you can perform the

update online.

If you are running G06.23 or earlier and SPRs T2728AAL (OSM) or

T7945ABN (TSM) are not installed, use the standard (offline)

procedure and postpone the hard reset until Step 6.

Caution: Do not use the Online Processor Boot Code Update unless

G06.24 or SPRs T2728AAL (OSM) or T7945ABN (TSM) are installed and

running on the system.

5 Run the ZPHIRNM program.

6 Halt and perform a hard reset on all processors.

7 Load the G06.23 or later RVU.

8 Update the SCSI boot code and perform post-load steps as needed.

9 Use the OSM Service Connection or the TSM Service Application to check

for alarms and verify that the system is operating properly. Resolve any

problems before you install new hardware.
