Updating Console Controller PROM Code
If a Stratus representative instructs you to update PROM code for the
configuration, path, diagnostic, online, and offline partitions of a console
controller card, use the procedures in the following sections to do so. Verify with
the representative that you have selected the correct PROM code file to burn before
starting this procedure.
Updating config and path Partitions
To modify the configuration of the console, RSN, or auxiliary (secondary
console/UPS) ports, update the config partition. See the “Configuring Serial
Ports for Terminals and Modems” chapter in the HP-UX Operating System:
Peripherals Configuration (R1001H) for the procedure to update the config
partition.
To configure boot path information, update the console controller path partition.
See “Manually Booting Your System” in Chapter 3, “Starting and Stopping the
System,” for the procedure to update the path partition.
Updating diag, online, and offline Partitions
The following procedure updates the diag, online, and offline partitions.
Before you begin, determine which PROM file you need to burn. PROM code files
are located in the /etc/stratus/prom_code directory. There will be one file for
each PROM partition on the console controller.
1. Determine which console controller is on Online Standby by entering
ftsmaint ls 1/0 | grep Status
Status : Online
ftsmaint ls 1/1 | grep Status
Status : Online Standby
