Update SWAN and SWAN 2 CLIP Firmware
If you have a ServerNet wide area network (SWAN) concentrator connected to your
NonStop S-series server, follow the instructions in Appendix C, Updating SWAN
Concentrator CLIP Firmware, to update the CLIP firmware after doing a system load of
the G06.29 RVU.
If you have a SWAN connected to your NonStop S-series server, you can update CLIP
firmware in either of two ways:
•
Use the SWAN Fast Firmware Update guided procedure. (HP recommends this
method if you are using TSM.)
•
Use the Firmware Update dialog box in the TSM Service Application or use the
Multi-Resource Actions dialog box in the OSM Service Connection.
Update NonStop ServerNet Switch Firmware
If you have a 6780 ServerNet Switch in your system, you must use OSM to update the
firmware ServerNet Switch. For up-to-date SPRs, see Scout for NonStop Servers. For
information on the 6780 ServerNet Switch installation, see the ServerNet Cluster 6780
Planning and Installation Guide.
Update ServerNet Adapter Firmware
You can manage updatable firmware in most ServerNet adapters automatically by
using higher-level system software, if the corresponding autofirmup attribute is set to
on using SCF (the default when a ServerNet adapter is added to a system). If you
choose to disable the autofirmup attribute of these adapters, you must use either the
TSM Service Application or the OSM Service Connection to manage them yourself:
•
ATM 3 ServerNet adapter (ATM3SA)
•
Ethernet 4-port ServerNet adapter (E4SA)
•
Fast Ethernet ServerNet adapter (FESA)
•
Gigabit Ethernet ServerNet adapter (GESA-C and GESA-F)
•
Token-Ring ServerNet adapter (TRSA)
•
6763 Common Communication ServerNet adapter (CCSA)
•
Gigabit Ethernet 4-port ServerNet adapter (G4SA)
•
Fibre Channel ServerNet adapter (FCSA)
Note. The SWAN Fast Firmware Update guided procedure is supported only on G06.13
and subsequent RVUs. You can use it for both SWAN and SWAN 2s. However, OSM
does not support the SWAN Fast Firmware Update procedure.
Note. If you have to fall back to a previous G-series RVU, do not revert back to previous
versions of SWAN CLIP firmware. If you must fall back, keep the firmware change.
