Updating From a Tape Created Using Support Media
The procedure for performing a firmware update using a tape that was created from the Support Media is
the same as the previous procedure, with one exception. Since the tape contains several firmware image files
for different system types, you must select the image file which your system type requires.
If an attempt is made to update firmware using the wrong image file, the system will not be
operational, and will require replacement of the assembly that contains the firmware.
1. Log on as root, and enter "reboot -r". This command will shutdown the Operating System and reboot
the system.
2. If AUTOBOOT is on, you will receive the following message:
"Process is starting autoboot process
To discontinue, press any key within 10 seconds."
Press any key within 10 seconds to interrupt the booting process.
3. Boot from the "Alternate" boot path. (You must boot from the device that contains the firmware
update tape you just created.)
4. Interact with IPL (Y or N)?>
Respond with "Y".
5. At the "ISL>" prompt, enter the Online Diagnostic Environment (ode) program by typing "ode".
At this point, there is a "readme" command available which will provide a list of all the FIRMWARE/
PDC image files that are present on the tape. This readme file provides a one-line description for each
image file.
6. At the "ode>" prompt, enter the command, "update".
If an attempt is made to update firmware using the wrong image file, the system will not be
operational, and will require replacement of the assembly that contains the firmware
7. At the "update>" prompt, enter "image [filename]"
From this point forward, this process CANNOT be interrupted until completion. Interrupting this
process will cause the system to be inoperative, and will require replacement of the assembly that
contains firmware.
8. At the "update>" prompt, enter "run"
9. A warning message will be issued, followed by
Continue ([y]/n)? Enter y.
