Table 8 System software code segment descriptions

Segment Description

Befor e text Te xt ﬁle with information about the new code and upgrade requirements.

Displayed by H P Command View EVA and not sent to the controller.

Information ﬁle File stored on the controller's card describing contents of this superﬁle.

OCP image

Firmware for the Operator Controler Panel (LCD entry and display panel) PIC

(8-bit) processor chip.

SDC image

Firmware for System Data Center (Battery, Temperature and Blower manager) PIC

(8-bit) processor chip.

Glue image

Firmware for the GLUE chip FPGA, stored in EEPROM.

CBIC image

Firmware for the CanBus Interface Chip (drive shelf out-of-band communications

chip)PIC(8-bit)processorchip.

Event text ﬁle

File enabling

HP Command View EVA to translate binary event data to text. Not

sent to the co

ntroller.

EMU image

Firmware for the Drive Shelf Environmental Monitoring Unit (EMU) module. Stored

on the controllers program card and contains the image for the CTS I/O module.

Boot image

Initial Firmware that the controller's main processor (PPC) runs after reset or

power-on.

Functional

image

EVA ﬁrmware that is upgraded and provides support for all EVA functions.

After text Text ﬁle with i n formation declaring that upgrade has completed and describing

and post-upgrade requirements. Displayed by HP Command View EVA a nd not

sent to the controller.

8. Click Finish.

The following conﬁrmation message opens.

9. Click OK to upgrade the system software on the controllers. Click Cancel to stop the code load

process and return to the Storage System Properties window.

The upgra de process begins and the Initializ ing ﬁrmware code load page opens. See Figure 27.

This page is displayed until the controller code load is complete and the controllers restart. During

this interval both controllers resync and begin operating on the new ﬁrmware code. Once the resync

is complete, the controllers begin processing host I/Os.

Additional code within the storage system is now updated, which can take up to 10 minutes to

complete. This includes ﬁrmware on the EMU and I/O modules in the disk enclosures. During this

interval, the Storage System Updating Firmware window opens. See Figure 28.
