Compaq ProLiant 8500 Server I/O Module Upgrade Guide 7 Updating the System Dispatcher Utility and Migrating the System This process will update the System Dispatcher utility on the system partition. Also, to maintain the original system serial number when upgrading to the new I/O module, a serial number migration is necessary. The serial number migration process transfers the serial number and the Environmental Variables (EVs) of the existing server onto the new I/O module. To begin this process follow the steps below. 1. Reboot the server. Two options will display on the screen. G Prepare for Migration G Exit and Reboot System 2. Select the "Prepare for Migration" option by pressing the letter P. The system will respond with "Updating system partition with newer System Dispatcher utilities..." When completed, a confirmation "System partition update complete" will display. The system will continue with "Collecting Migration Information..." When this completes, you will get the confirmation "Migration information collected and saved successfully." The screen will also display the serial number of the server. Record the serial number for use later when verifying the serial number migrated successfully. 3. Leave the ProLiant 8500 I/O Module Upgrade Kit Migration diskette in the server. NOTE: If you are upgrading multiple servers, do not reuse the same ProLiant 8500 I/O Module Upgrade Kit Migration diskette. Each upgrade kit is supplied with its own diskette. 4. Power down the server. NOTE: For more information regarding powering down the server and accessing the I/O board, refer to the server installation guide or maintenance and service guide supplied with your server. 5. Disconnect all cables and power cables from the server.
