Microcode installation instructions:
z You need to have "root" authority to run the microcode download utility "genucode".
z Remove any tape from the drive.
z Genucode requires the following files:
Genucode program files from the genucode package:
{ genucode
{ cpcat
{ genucode.cat
Device specific files from the device package:
{ dsdata
{ microcode file
z "genucode", "cpcat", "genucode.cat", "dsdata", and the microcode file must all be put in the /tmp directory. Use the
following AIX command to change to the /tmp directory:
cd /tmp
z Put "genucode", "cpcat", "genucode.cat", "dsdata", and the microcode file into the /tmp directory.
z Make sure the files "cpcat" and "genucode" are marked executable using the following AIX commands:
chmod +x cpcat
chmod +x genucode
z Run cpcat to copy "genucode.cat" to /usr/lpp/diagnostics/catalog/default
This only needs to be done once per system.
/tmp/cpcat
z "dsdata" is the file name for the drive's specific data file used for customization of the download procedure. Use the
"dsdata" file from the microcode package you downloaded.
z The binary microcode file must be in the form of VENDORNAME.FWLEVEL.LOADID as indicated in the "dsdata"
file, such as:
IBM-7205.V52.A0B00E24
