Updating CPU/Memory PROM Code
HP-UX version 11.00.03 Updating PROM Code B-3
Updating CPU/Memory PROM Code
If a Stratus representative instructs you to update PROM code on duplexed
CPU/memory boards inside a CPU board, use the following procedure to do so.
Verify with the representative that you have selected the correct PROM code file
to burn before starting this procedure.
CAUTION
If your boards are not duplexed, you will disrupt access to the system.
Contact the CAC for assistance.
1. Check the status of the CPU boards by entering the following command for
each board:
ftsmaint ls 0/0 | grep Status
Status : Online Duplexed
ftsmaint ls 0/1 | grep Status
Status : Online Duplexed
When operating properly, both CPU boards have a status of Online
Duplexed.
2. Select a CPU board to update and change the status of the selected CPU board
to Offline Standby by entering
ftsmaint nosync hw_path
hw_path is the hardware path of the CPU board. For example, to take CPU
board 0/1 offline, you would enter the command
ftsmaint nosync 0/1
3. Update the CPU/memory PROM code in the CPU board now on standby by
entering
ftsmaint burnprom -f prom_code hw_path
prom_code is the path name of the PROM code file, and hw_path is the path
to the CPU. For example, to use the G2X20fw7.0.bin file to update the
CPU/memory PROM code in CPU board 0/1, you would enter the command
ftsmaint burnprom -f G2X20fw7.0.bin 0/1
NOTE
The ftsmaint command assumes the prom_code file is in the
/etc/stratus/prom_code directory. Therefore, you need to include
the full path name only if the file is in a different directory.
