Determining Firmware Versions in a Partition

or Complex

Each Superdome complex has six types of ﬁrmware installed on the

hardware components within the complex.

Each hardware component (cell, core I/O card, GSP, or UGUY board)

must have the corresponding ﬁrmware component(s) installed.

In general, within a Superdome complex every instance of a ﬁrmware

component should be the same version; for example, every core I/O card

should have the same version of the CIO ﬁrmware installed. Within a

partition, every cell must have matching ﬁrmware versions installed.

GSP Follow this procedure to use the GSP command menu to display the

ﬁrmware versions installed on cells, core I/O cards, GSPs, and UGUY

utility boards.
