Tecal RH5485 Server
Problem Determination and Service Guide
This chapter provides information about updating the firmware and using the configuration
utilities.
6.1 Updating the firmware
Some cluster solutions require specific code levels or coordinated code updates. If the device
is part of a cluster solution, verify that the latest level of code is supported for the cluster
solution before you update the code.
The firmware for the server is periodically updated and is available for download from the
Web. To check for the latest level of firmware, such as HUAWEI Tecal Server Firmware,
vital product data (VPD) code, device drivers, and integrated management module firmware.
Before you update the firmware, be sure to back up any keys that are stored in the Trusted
Platform Module (TPM), in case any of the TPM characteristics are changed by the new
firmware. For instructions, see your encryption software documentation.
Download the latest firmware for the server; then, install the firmware, using the instructions
that are included with the downloaded files.
In a two-node configuration, make sure that the HUAWEI Tecal Server Firmware, FPGA,
and IMM code are at the same levels on all nodes.
When you replace a device in the server, you might have to update the firmware that is stored
in memory on the device or restore the pre-existing firmware from a diskette or CD image.
