Firmware

Determine the Current and New Versions of SP Firmware

When updating SP firmware, you need:

•

The SP firmware version for your current RVU to determine that the SPs are in a

known, good state before you begin the SP firmware update

•

The SP firmware version for the G06.25 RVU to verify that the SP firmware has

successfully updated

You can also use this FILEINFO command to see all the firmware currently on all

SYSnn’s:

TACL> FILEINFO $SYSTEM.SYS*.*CODE*

To determine the correct versions of SP firmware using the VPROC command:

1. At a TACL prompt, issue the VPROC command to verify the location and version of

the SP firmware for the G06.25 RVU:

VPROC $SYSTEM.SYSnn.SPCODE9

where nn is the number specified during the Build/Apply phase of installing the

G06.25 RVU. For example:

\itty $SYSTEM.SYS10 8> vproc spcode9

VPROC - T9617G03 - (07 AUG 2003) SYSTEM \ITTY Date 16 NOV 2004, 17:08:09

$SYSTEM.SYS10.SPCODE9

Binder timestamp: 21SEP2004 11:19:37

Version procedure: T1089G06^01DEC04^21SEP04^ABP

2. Record the version of SP firmware.

3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 by using the SYSnn for your current RVU. For example:

9> vproc spcode9

VPROC - T9617G03 - (01 MAY 2001) SYSTEM \TEENY Date 26 AUG 2003,

11:27:55

$SYSTEM.SYS02.SPCODE9

Binder timestamp: 23JUL2003 03:45:04

Version procedure: T1089G06^26AUG03^23JUL03^ABK

Version procedure: T1088G06^26AUG03^23JUL03^ABK

Note. Version procedure dates might be different; these are examples only.
