Updating U501 SCSI Adapter Card PROM Code
B-8 Fault Tolerant System Administration (R1004H) HP-UX version 11.00.03
2. Notify users of any external devices or single-initiated logical SCSI buses
attached to both SCSI adapter cards that service will be disrupted. Disconnect
the cables from both ports.
3. Determine which (if any) of the cards you plan to update contain resources
(ports) on standby duplexed status by entering
ftsmaint ls hw_path | grep -e Status -e Partner
hw_path is the hardware path determined in step 1. For example, to identify
the status for the resources at 0/2/7/1, you would enter the command
ftsmaint ls 0/2/7/1 | grep -e Status -e Partner
4. Repeat step 3 for each resource in question.
5. Stop the standby resource from duplexing with its partner by entering
ftsmaint nosync hw_path
hw_path is the hardware path of the standby resource. For example, to stop
0/3/7/1 from duplexing with 0/2/7/1, you would enter the command
ftsmaint nosync 0/3/7/1
Invoking ftsmaint nosync on a single resource also stops duplexing and (if
necessary) puts on standby status other resources (ports) on that card.
Therefore, it is not necessary to repeat this command for the other resources.
CAUTION
The next step stops all communication with devices connected
externally to the standby SCSI adapter card.
6. Update the PROM code on the standby card using the hardware address of
one of the ports on the card 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 standby card. For example, to update the PROM code in a U501 card in
slot 7, card-cage 3, you would enter the command
ftsmaint burnprom -f u5010fw0st5raw 0/3/7/1)
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.
