Returning SCSI Boot Code to the Previous
Version (Using TSM)
This subsection provides instructions for installing the previous version of the SCSI
boot code.
Determine the Correct Version of the Previous SCSI Boot Code
At a TACL prompt, enter the VPROC command to verify the location and version of the
SCSI boot code for the previous RVU:
>VPROC $SYSTEM.SYS
nn .I1000
where nn is the previous operating system image subvolume. For example:
$SYSTEM SUPER 7> vproc $system.sys01.i1000
VPROC - T9617G03 - (30 MAR 1999) SYSTEM \ELI Date 21 MAR 2000, 12:39:29

Binder timestamp: 12FEB1998 17:27:36
Version procedure: T1067F40^15JAN98^TREV=01^AAK
SYS01 is the previous operating system image subvolume.
To check the new version of SCSI boot code, enter:
>VPROC $SYSTEM.SYS
nn .IBOOT
Note. For pre-G06.08 RVUs, SCSI boot code is located in $system.sysnn.I1000. For post-
G06.08 RVUs, the SCSI boot code is located in $system.sys
nn .IBOOT.
