System BIOS

In a x3950 M2 multinode partition, you can update the BIOS of all nodes from the
primary node. You are presented with a menu from which you can select:
Update the BIOS on the current system.
Update all nodes in a multinode x3950 M2 partition from the primary node.
The BIOS update process involves a sequence of erasing the current flash
image, updating the new flash image, requesting confirmation of the serial
number (SN) and model type for each node in consecutive order (from first node
to last node).
Preboot Diagnostics (DSA Preboot)
This update is in the form of a bootable diskette. If you have the RSA II
configured and connected to your network, you can use the Remote Console
feature with a remote diskette and boot each node from the diagnostics diskette.
On x3950 M2 multinode complex, if you perform the update from the primary
node, then all other nodes are automatically updated as shown in Example 5-3.
Example 5-3 Updating the DSA Preboot code on a two-node complex
