Updating From a Tape Created Using Support Media

The procedure for performing a firmware update using a tape that was created from the Support Media
is the same as the previous procedure, with one exception. Since the tape contains several firmware
image files for different system types, you must select the image file which your system type requires.
CAUTION
If an attempt is made to update firmware using the wrong image file, the system will
not be operational, and will require replacement of the assembly that contains the
firmware.
1. Log on as root, and enter "reboot -r". This command will shutdown the Operating System and
reboot the system.
2. If AUTOBOOT is on, you will receive the following message:
"Process is starting autoboot process
To discontinue, press any key within 10 seconds."
Press any key within 10 seconds to interrupt the booting process.
3. Boot from the "Alternate" boot path. (You must boot from the device that contains the firmware
update tape you just created.)
4. Interact with IPL (Y or N)?>
Respond with "Y".
5. At the "ISL>" prompt, enter the Offline Diagnostic Environment (ODE) program by typing "ode".
NOTE At this point, there is a "readme" command available which will provide a list of all the
FIRMWARE/PDC image files that are present on the tape. This readme file provides a
one-line description for each image file.
6. At the "ode>" prompt, enter the command, "update".
CAUTION
If an attempt is made to update firmware using the wrong image file, the system will
not be operational, and will require replacement of the assembly that contains the
firmware
7. At the "update>" prompt, enter "image [filename]"
CAUTION
From this point forward, this process CANNOT be interrupted until completion.
Interrupting this process will cause the system to be inoperative, and will require
replacement of the assembly that contains firmware.
