Updating Firmware
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 G06.26 RVU
If any firmware on your system does not match the versions listed in Table 1-2 on
page 1-11, 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.
You must use OSM to update firmware for the 6780 ServerNet Switch. For information
on using OSM to update firmware, see the OSM online help.
Table 1-1 lists the updateable firmware for processors, SPs, and SCSI SACs.
Caution. Before upgrading boot millicode using the online update function to T7892ABD, you
must have at least 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
processor halt occurs. For G06.26, the TSM server is T7945ABR.
Note. When migrating to G06.26 from an RVU prior to G06.08, update SCSI boot code after
the system load. Update SP and processor boot code before performing the system load of
G06.26.
