Reset the Processors To Complete Updating the Processor Boot
Code (Both for OSM and TSM)
You must perform a Hard Reset action or equivalent (reload) of the processors after
you have updated the processor boot code and if you did not select the explicit online
boot code option in either TSM or OSM. Use the Hard Reset action from either the
OSM LLL or TSM LLL to terminate all processes running on a processor, stop the
processor, clear the processor’s memory, and reset the processor’s internal mapping
tables.
1. Log on to the server using the OSM Low-Level Link or TSM Low-Level Link
Application.
2. On the toolbar, click Processor Status.
Note. You can also perform an equivalent Hard Reset action using the TSM or OSM Low-
Level Link on all processors when you perform a system load instead of using the Hard Reset
or Reset action. You can also perform the Hard Reset action when you halt the processors to
prepare them for loading the new RVU. See System Load Using the TSM or OSM Low-Level
Link on page 11-4, and for more information on Reset, see The Reset Operation on page 11-8.
