5. Copy SP Firmware File From the Target System to
the System Console
5. Copy SP Firmware File From the Target
System to the System Console
In this step, you shift your activities from the target system to the block you will add. If
you have a system console to move from the target system to that block, this step
indicates when to move the system console.
The block you add to your target system must have SP firmware running on the
dedicated LAN that is identical to the SP firmware on the target system. This step
copies the target system’s SP firmware file onto a system console. This file, in turn, is
copied to all enclosures in the block.
5.1 Choose System Console to Use
You can use one of the following system consoles:
•
One of the two system consoles attached to your donor or target system.
•
The one system console that is attached to your target or donor system. However,
if you use the only system console from either system for this operation, you leave
that system without dial-in/dial-out capability until you reconnect the system
console.
When you have chosen the system console you will use, attach it to the target system
if necessary, using the procedure Move the System Console on page A-8.
5.2 Identify IP Address for FTP Session
You will copy the SP firmware file from the target system to the system console through
a dedicated communications adapter such as an E4SA. On the system console on the
target system, determine the IP address of the adapter you will use:
1. Log on to TACL and start SCF.
2. Enter the following SCF command to display IP addresses for the dedicated
communications adapters on the target system:
-> INFO SUBNET $*.*
