Using The Flash Update Utility From The Srm Console - DEC a-Series Installation And Setup Manual

Using the Flash Update Utility from the SRM Console

To update the firmware from the SRM console, do the following:
1. Insert the Firmware Update CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
2. Type the show device command to determine the device ID of the CD-ROM drive.
>>>SHOW DEVICE
dka0.1.0.4.0
dkc100.1.0.10098.0 DKC100
dva0.0.0.0.1
ewa0.0.0.3.0
pkc0.7.0.1009.0
pqa0.0.0.4.0
pqb0.0.1.4.0
3. Boot the Firmware Update Utility CD-ROM using the device ID display in step 2.
>>>b -fl 0,a0 dka0 (for DIGITAL UNIX) or dqa0 (for OpenVMS)
Bootfile: e.g.,[alpha433au]as433au_vx_x.exe (where x_x is the
appropriate version)
You should see a display that reflects your system's particular hardware configuration
and firmware update version while the update utility is loading and executing, for
example:
bootstrap code read in
