Replacing a NonStop Himalaya S-Series Server
Adapter
Resuming Operations
To resume operations after replacing either the 3216 logic board or BIC, you must
bring up the paths to the controller and start up the processes using the tape drives.
1. If you have replaced the 3216 logic board, verify the firmware and test the new
board (Steps 1a through 1c) before continuing to Steps 2 and 3. If you have
replaced the 3216 BIC, perform Steps 1a and 1c and then Steps 2 and 3.
a. Bring up the paths to the controller. For example:
1>PUP
#UP $TAPE1
#UP $TAPE2
#EXIT
b. Use the TMDS TAPE FIRMUP command to compare and update the firmware:
2>TMDS TAPE
TAPE>FIRMUP OBJECT $TAPE1
This command compares the EEPROM firmware of the controller attached to
$TAPE1 to the corresponding disk file on the current SYSnn in use. If the
revision level of the EEPROM firmware is older than the revision level of the
firmware in the disk file, FIRMUP updates the EEPROM firmware by loading
the firmware code from the disk file into the EEPROM.
For more information on the FIRMUP command, see the TAPE subsystem
information in the TMDS Reference Manual. For online help, enter:
TAPE>HELP FIRMUP
c. Test the tape controller (this test requires you to load a scratch tape before
beginning). If the test fails, notify a service provider such as the GCSC. For
example:
TAPE>TEST $TAPE1, TESTNAME DRIVE
TAPE>EXIT
2. Start up the system software that was using the tape drives.
3. Restart the application software that was using the tape drives.
