12. Verify SP Firmware Is Compatible
12. Verify SP Firmware Is Compatible
This step checks whether the SP firmware on the enclosure is compatible with the SP
firmware on the target system.
12.1 Determine SP Firmware Version for Enclosure
How you perform this step depends on where you got the enclosure:
•
If this enclosure was shipped directly from the factory:
•
If this enclosure came from a donor system, locate Worksheet 7 and note the SP
firmware version that you recorded for this enclosure.
12.2 Check Compatibility of the SP Firmware
You have recorded on Worksheet 7 SP firmware version information for both your
target system (from Step 2.2 Record Information About the Master Service Processor
on page 6-6) and for this enclosure (Step 12.1 Determine SP Firmware Version for
Enclosure on page 6-20).
1. Compare the values for these two versions.
2. Note whether they match.
Note. This step does not apply to IOAM enclosures.
Step Action Result
1. Log on to the
OSM or TSM
Low-Level Link,
and click SP
Actions.
The Service Processor Actions dialog box appears.
It might take some time to retrieve all the information.
In the Firmware Version list, you will see the SP firmware
version for the enclosure. You might need to scroll to find
this information.
2. Record this SP firmware version on Worksheets 1 and 7. For example:
