Boot Console Handler Obtaining and Updating System Firmware Obtaining and Updating System Firmware To update a system's firmware, the firmware patch must be obtained from the patch server website at http://us-external_support.hp.com or http://europe-external_support.hp.com. The patch file is a combined shar'ed file that contains an ASCII cataloging file, a readme type ASCII file, and the firmware LIF binary file. The LIF volume is bootable to ODE which in turns runs the UPDATER utility to download the firmware image files. Creating the Firmware Update Tape (on any HP-UX system) Step 1. Verify the checksum of the file ".FRM" using the "sum" command. Results of the command should be equal to the "sum" value as documented in the header of this document. Step 2. Use the "dd" command to copy the file "CXXXXXXX.FRM" to tape, as follows: dd if=CXXXXXX.FRM of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k (device path dependent) NOTE: Blocksize (bs) must be = 2k Identify Current Version of Firmware (on system to be updated) Step 1. Re-boot your system and do the following: a. Interrupt the boot process and from the Boot Console Handler prompt, type and press [return]. b. Identify your firmware revision. The last two digits in the patch name indicate the revision. In this case, X.X is the revision. If the revision on your system is equal to or higher than X.X, do not proceed with the update. To install the firmware update The following are the directions from the readme file that are the firmware updating instructions for a DAT tape drive: Step 1. Install the tape you have just created into your tape drive. Step 2. Shutdown your system via the power switch and power back on, or execute the reboot command resetting your system. Step 3. When the display reads "Searching for a system to boot" press [escape]. At the BOOT ADMIN prompt, type search and press Enter or Return to identify the tape device path. Step 4. Boot from the appropriate boot path. (You must boot from the device that contains the firmware update tape.) When the display reads "Interact with IPL (Y, N, Q)>", type N and press Enter.

Boot Console Handler

Obtaining and Updating System Firmware

To update a system’s ﬁrmware, the ﬁrmware patch must be obtained from the patch server

website at http://us-external_support.hp.com or http://europe-external_support.hp.com.

The patch file is a combined shar’ed file that contains an ASCII cataloging file, a readme

type ASCII file, and the firmware LIF binary file. The LIF volume is bootable to ODE

which in turns runs the UPDATER utility to download the ﬁrmware image ﬁles.

Creating the Firmware Update Tape (on any HP-UX system)

Step 1.
