D info - prints information on how to use the update utility. D run - updates the PDC of the workstation from the LIF directory. D image - allows you to specify which LIF images to use. D stable - allows stable storage to be updated when you issue the RUN command. D expert - enables/disables exit pausing and run confirmation for expert users. D exit - resets the workstation so the new PDC can run. To run the update utility, type run Enter at the UPDATE> prompt. After update loads the new images into memory, it asks you if you want to continue the update process, and displays the PDC version of the currently running PDC as well as that of the images that were loaded. If you wish to continue, type y Enter . When the update process has completed, the machine reboots automatically. Boot Console 9-15

Updating System Firmware with ODE
The Offline Diagnostic Environment (ODE) consists of diagnostic modules for test-
ing and verifying system operation. The
update
utility of ODE provides the capabili-
ty of updating the PDC/IODC firmware from the LIF directory onto the EEPROM.
ode
is an ISL utility. To invoke ODE and bring up the
update
utility:
1.
Invoke the ISL environment from the system disk.
2.
Type
ode
Enter
after the
ISL>
prompt to invoke
ode
from the LIF direc-
tory on the system disk. The prompt changes to
ODE>
.
3.
At the
ODE>
prompt, type
update
Enter
to bring up the update utility.
The prompt changes to
UPDATE>
.
NOTICE:
The
update
command is available only if the work-
station is running HP-UX version 10.0.
The following commands may be entered at the
UPDATE>
prompt:
D
help
– prints a one line description of each of the available commands in the
update utility.
D
info
– prints information on how to use the update utility.
D
run
– updates the PDC of the workstation from the LIF directory.
D
image
– allows you to specify which LIF images to use.
D
stable
– allows stable storage to be updated when you issue the RUN com-
mand.
D
expert
– enables/disables exit pausing and run confirmation for expert users.
D
exit
– resets the workstation so the new PDC can run.
To run the
update
utility, type
run
Enter
at the
UPDATE>
prompt. After
up-
date
loads the new images into memory, it asks you if you want to continue the up-
date process, and displays the PDC version of the currently running PDC as well as
that of the images that were loaded. If you wish to continue, type
y
Enter
.
When the update process has completed, the machine reboots automatically.
