Firmware Updates and DSM/SCM (ZPHITI)
The DSM/SCM Target Interface (ZPHITI) provides operator instructions that inform you
if any firmware needs to be updated before you run the ZPHIRNM (rename) program.
Firmware Updates Using OSM or TSM
Use the TSM Service Application or the OSM Service Connection (if OSM is already
installed) to update service processor (SP) firmware and processor boot code before
system load and to update SCSI boot code (pre-G06.08), SWAN concentrator CLIP,
and other firmware after system load. Adapter firmware is generally automatically
downloaded when a ServerNet adapter is started during system load. The easiest
method for updating firmware is to use the OSM Service Connection Multi-Resource
Actions dialog box to update firmware.
Firmware Update Requirements for the G06.24 RVU
If any of the firmware on your system does not match the versions listed in Table 1-2,
G06.24 Updateable Firmware for ServerNet Adapters, on page 1-10, you must perform
firmware updates. If OSM is not already installed and configured, use TSM to update
firmware and load the system to the new RVU. If OSM is installed and configured, use
the OSM Service Connection Multi-Resource Actions dialog box.
Caution. Before upgrading boot millicode using the online update function to T7892ABD, you
must have the G06.24 or later version of either the TSM server (T7945ABN) or all OSM server-
based SPRs (along with their prerequisites) configured and running. Otherwise, a system
outage will result. For a list of G06.24 OSM SPRs, see OSM Server and Client Compatibility
SPRs on page 3-8.
