3. Select your product.
4. Select your operating system or Cross operating system (BIOS, Firmware, Diagnostics, etc.).
This takes you to the product download page.
5. Select the appropriate download, and follow the instructions.
NOTE: If the Superdome 2 system already has firmware bundle 2.2.27 or later installed, then
it is possible to update firmware without taking all the partitions down at once.
The complex (or management side) firmware can be updated while all the partitions remain online,
and then the partition (or system side) firmware can be applied to one nPartition at a time.
It is possible that some firmware updates will be released which do not require partition firmware
updates, these firmware bundles can be installed without requiring any nPartition downtime.
See the detailed instructions provided in the firmware download bundle for more information.

Troubleshooting partitions

Use the following commands to troubleshoot partitions:
Use the OA commands parstatus and vparstatus
resources belong the failing nPar or vPar.
Use the HR> show indict and show deconfig commands to determine if any of the
resources belonging to the nPar or vPar of interest are deconfigured, indicted or in any failure
state.
If any issues are reported, use the show CAE command for more information.
Use the show syslog OA 1 command to check the syslog file for the active OA. For
example:
oa1> show syslog oa 1

Troubleshooting the network

An incorrect setup for the enclosure and complex wide internal network can lead to issues with
the following tasks:
Powering on/off partitions
Update firmware
Gathering status information
Each iLO and OA in the complex must have a unique IP address set up. The IP addresses will be
obtained by either using a DHCP server or defining the IP addresses using EBIPA.
Use the show ebipa and show OA network all commands to check the network settings for
iLO and the OA:
SHOW EBIPA
vparboot: vparboot -p 1:9
parcon: Note: nPartition 1: vPar 9: Attempting to Power On Virtual Partition: 9 in
parcon: Error: nPartition 1: vPar 9: Power On of Virtual Partition failed. Error: iCAP
parcon: Error: nPartition 1: vPar 9: Power On of Virtual Partition: 9 in nPartition:1
parcon: Note: nPartition 1: Attempting Power On of nPartition
parcon: Error: nPartition 1: Power On of nPartition failed. Err
vparmodify: vparmodify -p 1:6 -d cpu::2
All partition-related messages in OA syslog contain the string "parcon:" and/or
N <nPar-ID> to determine which
