Firmware Updates and DSM/SCM (ZPHITI)
The DSM/SCM Target Interface (ZPHITI) provides operator instructions that inform you
if any firmware needs to be updated before you run the ZPHIRNM (rename) program.
Always check your current firmware versions against the latest on the SUT and on
Scout.
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. When using the
OSM Service Connection, use the Multi-Resource Actions dialog box to update most
firmware. However, do not use the Multi-Resource Actions dialog box to update ME
firmware or ME FPGA simultaneously on both fabrics, or a system outage might occur.
Firmware Update Requirements for the G06.31 RVU
If any firmware on your system does not match the versions listed in Table 1-2 on
page 1-13, 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 Multi-Resource Actions dialog box (as noted under
Firmware Updates Using OSM or TSM).
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.
