Updating Firmware
Bootstrap Microcode Update Requirements for the G06.28
RVU
The disk and tape bootstrap programs (T8494) are unchanged in G06.28. A new disk
bootstrap program (T8494AAA) became available in G06.06. Revive your mirrored disk
as soon as possible after performing a system load.
Updating Firmware
Updateable firmware exists in many of the components in your system, such as:
•
PMFs and IOMFs
•
ServerNet LAN and WAN adapters
•
ServerNet device adapters
•
ServerNet Switch (6770) and ServerNet Switch (6780)
•
IOAM Maintenance Entity
You can perform many firmware updates manually using TSM or OSM, but some can
be performed with SCF or by following TSM or OSM-guided procedures. Only OSM
supports the 6780 ServerNet Switch and IOAM components.
