Downloading I/O Card Firmware
B-10 Fault Tolerant System Administration (R1004H) HP-UX version 11.00.03
11. Check the status of the newly updated card and verify the current (updated)
PROM code version by entering the following command for both the resource
and its partner
ftsmaint ls hw_path
When the status becomes Online Standby Duplexed, the card has resumed
duplex mode.
Downloading I/O Card Firmware
When the operating system boots or an I/O card is added, Continuum systems can
automatically download firmware into the card(s) as necessary. Stratus supplies
default firmware files, which are normally located in the /etc directory. If you do
not want to use the default firmware, you can designate your own custom
downloadable firmware file in the /etc/opersonality.conf file. This file
contains special configuration information about I/O cards (such as the
relationship between these devices and their device files). Although it is not
necessary to identify a firmware file in opersonality.conf, if you do specify
one, Continuum systems use the file you designate instead of the default.
CAUTION
Do not designate an alternate firmware file unless you are certain that
file is appropriate for that card. Inappropriate firmware files can disable
the card and, possibly, the system.
See the odownloadd(1M) man page and the HP-UX Operating System: Peripherals
Configuration (R1001H) for additional information.
