Generic Microcode Download
This service aid provides a means of executing a "generic" script from a diskette. The
intended purpose for this "generic" script is to load microcode to a supported resource.
This script runs whatever program is required in order to download the microcode onto
the adapter or device.
This service aid is supported in both concurrent and standalone modes from disk, LAN,
or loadable media.
On entry, the service aid displays information about what it does. It then asks for a
Genucode diskette to be inserted into the diskette drive. The diskette must be in tar
format. The service aid then restores the script file genucode to the /tmp directory and
runs the script. The script must at that point then pull any other needed files from the
diskette. The script should then run whatever program is necessary in order to perform
its function. On completion, a status code is returned, and the user is returned to the
service aid.
The genucode script should have a # ! /usr/bin/ksh line at the beginning of the file.
Return status of 0 should be returned if the program was successful.
Hot Plug Task
The Hot Plug Task provides software function for those devices that support hot-plug or
hot-swap capability. This includes PCI adapters, SCSI devices, and some RAID
devices.
The Hot Plug Task has a restriction when running in Standalone or Online Service
mode; new devices may not be added to the system unless there is already a device
with the same FRU part number installed in the system. This restriction is in place
because the device software package for the new device cannot be installed in
Standalone or Online Service mode.
Depending on the environment and the software packages installed, selecting this task
displays the following three subtasks:
v PCI Hot Plug Manager
v SCSI Hot Swap Manager
v RAID Hot Plug Devices
To run the Hot Plug Task directly from the command line, type the following:
diag -T"identifyRemove"
If you are running the diagnostics in Online Concurrent mode, run the Missing Options
Resolution Procedure immediately after adding, removing, or replacing any device. Start
the Missing Options Resolution Procedure by running the diag -a command.
If the Missing Options Resolution Procedure runs with no menus or prompts, then
device configuration is complete. Otherwise, work through each menu to complete
device configuration.
