Function 30 – CEC SP IP address and location
Function 30 is one of the Extended control panel functions and is only available when Manual
mode is selected. This function can be used to display the central electronic complex (CEC)
Service Processor IP address and location segment. The Table 2-21 shows an example of
how to use the Function 03.

2.14 System firmware

Server firmware is the part of the Licensed Internal Code that enables hardware, such as the
service processor. Depending on your service environment, you can download, install, and
manage your server firmware fixes using different interfaces and methods, including the
HMC, or by using functions specific to your operating system.
Note: Normally, installing the server firmware fixes through the operating system is a
nonconcurrent process.
Temporary and permanent firmware sides
The service processor maintains two copies of the server firmware:
One copy is considered the permanent or backup copy and is stored on the permanent
side, sometimes referred to as the
The other copy is considered the installed or temporary copy and is stored on the
temporary side, sometimes referred to as the
the server from the temporary side.
The copy actually booted from is called the activated level, sometimes referred to as
Note: The default value, from which the system boots, is temporary.
