Updating Console Controller PROM Code
B-6 Fault Tolerant System Administration (R1004H) HP-UX version 11.00.03
2. Update the PROM code on the standby console controller for the online
partition by entering
ftsmaint burnprom -F online -f prom_code hw_path
partition is the partition to be burned, prom_code is the path name of the
PROM code file, and hw_path is the path name of the standby console
controller. For example, to burn the online partition, you would enter the
command
ftsmaint burnprom -F online -f E5940on21.0bin 1/1
For more information about PROM-code file naming conventions, see
Table B-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.
3. Update the PROM code on the standby console controller for the each of the
other partitions by entering
ftsmaint burnprom -F partition -f prom_code hw_path
partition is the partition to be burned, prom_code is the path name of the
PROM code file, and hw_path is the path name of the standby console
controller. For example, to burn the offline partition, you would enter the
command
ftsmaint burnprom -F offline -f E5940of21.0bin 1/1
Repeat this command for each partition. Each command takes a few minutes.
When the prompt returns, proceed to the next partition.
4. When the prompt returns after burning the last partition, switch the status of
both controller boards by entering
ftsmaint switch hw_path
hw_path is the hardware path of the standby console controller, which you
just updated. For example, to switch the console controller in console
controller board 1/1 to online and the console controller in console controller
board 1/0 to standby, you would enter the command
ftsmaint switch 1/1
5. Check that the status of the newly updated console controller is Online and
that the other console controller is Online Standby by entering
ftsmaint ls 1/1
ftsmaint ls 1/0
