1. Log on to the TSM Service Application.
2. Select Display>SP Actions.
The Service Processor Actions dialog box appears. Wait for the firmware version of 
each SP to appear (this might take several minutes).
3. Verify that the correct version of SP firmware for your current RVU is displayed for 
each SP.
If any SP has a different version of SP firmware, update that SP to the correct 
version for your current RVU:
a. Select Display>Firmware Update to update the SP firmware to the proper 
version for your current RVU. 
b. Monitor the status of the firmware update by using the Firmware Update Action 
Summary:
•
If the firmware update finishes successfully, reset the SP, as described 
under Resetting an SP Using the TSM Low-Level Link Application on 
page 7-18.
•
If the firmware update fails, you might have a faulty SP or a down-rev 
customer-replaceable unit (CRU). Contact your service provider.
If Necessary, Reset the SPs Before Updating SP Firmware
After verifying that the SPs are running the correct version of SP firmware for your 
current RVU, and before you begin to update firmware, you might have to reset all SPs 
in both ServerNet fabrics (X and Y). Failure to do so could result in the loss of critical 
system resources. Each SP takes about two minutes to reset.
1. If necessary, log on to the TSM Service Application.
2. On the toolbar, select SP Actions, or select Display>SP Actions to display the 
Service Processor Actions dialog box.
3. Click Select all Y Fabric SPs.
4. From the Available Actions list, select Reset and then click Perform action. 
WARNING. To avoid hardware damage, never reset an SP if the firmware update does not 
finish successfully.
