Before You Begin Updating the Boot Millicode

Check Processor Status

Before you update boot code firmware, verify that the system is up with at least one

processor running a G06.00 or later product version of the NonStop operating system:

1. If necessary, log on to the OSM Low-Level Link Application or the TSM Low-Level

Link Application.

2. On the TSM or OSM toolbar, click Processor Status.

Processor status should be

Executing NonStop OS

Verify Your TSM and OSM Versions

See Determining the Current Version of the OSM Service Connection on page 4-11

and Determining the Current Version of TSM Server Software on page 4-12.

Verify Location and Version of Processor Boot Code

1. At a TACL prompt, enter the VPROC command to verify the location and version of

the processor boot code for the G06.31 RVU:

•

For processor boot code for the NonStop Server S7000, enter:

>VPROC $SYSTEM.SYSnn.CPUCODE8

•

For processor boot code for NonStop servers S7x000, S8x000, S7400, S7600,

S7800, or S78000, enter:

>VPROC $SYSTEM.SYSnn.CPUCODE9

where nn is the number specified during the Build/Apply phase when you installed

the G06.31 RVU.

(\itty $SYSTEM.SYS05 7> vproc cpucode9
