Downloading New Firmware to Adapters and SACs
•
Operational firmware downloaded through a REPLACE command does not remain
in effect beyond the next system load. A system load reverts to the standard
firmware file names in the specified SYSnn.
•
Flash firmware replacement is permanent until the next replacement.
•
For operational firmware, you can use the CPU attribute or the ABANDON attribute
to have different SACs use different versions of the same firmware type. After
determining which version you want, use the REPLACE command to download the
chosen version to all SACs that use that firmware type.
•
For operational firmware, a complete download from all CPUs on a 16-processor
system takes at least 8 minutes.
