Frame (Power Subsystem) Firmware Update With A Pseries High Performance Switch Installed - IBM pSeries 690 Service Manual

Frame (Power Subsystem) Firmware Update with a pSeries High
Performance Switch Installed
When a pSeries High Performance Switch (7045-SW4) is installed in or attached to the system, the frame
firmware, which includes the power subsystem, is updated using a task on the HMC. Code updates (also
called corrective service) are available at http://techsupport.services.ibm.com/server/mdownload2.
This task downloads a corrective service for the frame onto the HMC.
Note: Because the HMC is a closed system, you cannot install additional applications on your HMC. All of
the tasks you need to maintain the managed system, the underlying operating system, and the
HMC application code are available by using the HMC's management applications.
To download corrective service on the HMC, do the following:
1. From the HMC interface, in the Navigation area (left side of the panel), open the Software
Maintenance folder.
2. In the Contents area (right side of the panel), double-click the Frame icon. The Frame application
opens in the Contents area.
3. In the Contents area, click Receive Corrective Service task.
4. Select one of the following by clicking on the circle to the left.
v Upload corrective service from diskette. If you select this option, make sure the correct diskette
is in the HMC diskette drive.
v Download the corrective service file from a remote system. If you select this option, complete
the Remote Site (host name), Patch file (file name or remote system), User ID (for remote system),
and password (for remote system).
5. Click OK to copy the corrective service to this HMC.
