The UPDATE command syntax is:
UPD[ATE] <node number> -or-
UPD[ATE] ALL
where <node number> is the node number of the secondary processor
that is to receive the contents of the primary processor’s EEPROM. When
UPDATE is issued, the console program checks the ROM revision levels of
the processors. If the ROM revision level of a secondary processor does not
match that of the primary, no update is done and a message is displayed.
The secondary processor’s EEPROM is updated even if the processor is set
to NOENABLED. The UPDATE ALL command updates the EEPROMs on
all the secondary processors; the operation takes approximately 5 minutes
for each secondary processor.
The UPDATE command copies the parameters that can be set plus some
additional information stored in the EEPROM of the boot processor.
Whenever the EEPROM on the primary processor has a patch level
installed, the change should also be made in any secondary processors.
Updated information includes:
• Systemwide console parameters
Baud rate, interleave, and terminal characteristics
• Saved boot specifications
• Diagnostic patches
• Console patches
• Boot primitives
You must set the control panel lower key switch to the Update position to
use this command. If the key switch is not in the Update position when
you issue an UPDATE command, you receive the following error message:
?0040 Key switch must be at "Update" to update EEPROM.
NOTE: An alternative to the UPDATE command is the EVUCA utility,
which also updates a processor’s EEPROM contents. See Appendix E.
