9.1.4.5 Updating the KZPSA-BB Adapter Firmware
You must check, and update as necessary, the system and host bus adapter
firmware. The firmware may be out-of-date. Read the firmware release
notes from the AlphaSystems Firmware Update CD-ROM for the applicable
system/SCSI adapter.
If the System Reference Manual (SRM) console or KZPSA-BB firmware is
not current, boot the Loadable Firmware Update (LFU) utility from the
Alpha Systems Firmware Update CD-ROM. Choose the update entry from
the list of LFU commands. LFU can update all devices or any particular
device you select.
When you boot the Systems Firmware Update CD-ROM, you can
read the firmware release notes. After booting has completed, enter
read_rel_notes at the UPD> prompt. You can also copy and print the
release notes as shown in Section 4.2.
To update the firmware, boot the LFU utility from the Alpha Systems
Firmware Update CD-ROM.
It is not necessary to use the -flag option to the boot command. Insert
the Alpha Systems Firmware Update CD-ROM and boot. For example, to
boot from dka600:
P00>>> boot dka600
