3. Start the TEMP image, as described in "Starting the TEMP image" on page 17.
What to do next
You might need to update the firmware code to the latest version. See "Updating the firmware" on page
15 for more information about how to update the firmware code.
Verifying the system firmware levels
The diagnostics program displays the current system firmware levels for the temporary (TEMP) and
permanent (PERM) images. This function also displays which image the compute node used to start.
Procedure
1. Start the diagnostics program.
2. From the Function Selection menu, select Task Selection and press Enter.
3. From the Tasks Selection List menu, select Update and Manage System Flash and press Enter.
The top of the Update and Manage System Flash menu displays the system firmware level for the
PERM and the TEMP images and the image that the compute node used to start.
Note: If the TEMP image level is more current than the PERM image, commit the TEMP image.
4. When you have verified the firmware levels, press F3 until the Diagnostic Operating Instructions
window is displayed, and then press F3 again to exit the diagnostic program.
Committing the TEMP system firmware image
After updating the system firmware and successfully starting the compute node from the temporary
(TEMP) image, copy the TEMP image to the permanent (PERM) image by using the diagnostics program
commit function.
About this task
Note: If you install the compute node firmware update permanently by committing the temporary
firmware level from the temporary side to the permanent side, the temporary and permanent sides
contain the same level of firmware. You cannot return to the level that was previously on the permanent
side.
Procedure
1. Load the diagnostics program. See "Running the diagnostics program" on page 415.
2. From the Function Selection menu, select Task Selection and press Enter.
3. From the Tasks Selection List menu, select Update and Manage System Flash and press Enter.
4. From the Update and Manage System Flash menu, select Commit the Temporary Image and press
Enter.
5. When the commit function is complete, press F3 until the Diagnostic Operating Instructions window
is displayed. Then, press F3 again to exit the diagnostic program.
