2.13.3 Recovering the TEMP image from the PERM image
To recover the TEMP image from the PERM image, you must perform the reject function.
The reject function copies the PERM image into the TEMP image.
To perform the reject function, complete the following procedure.
1. If you have not started the system from the PERM image, do so now. See “Starting the
PERM image” on page 186.
2. Issue the appropriate command for your operating system to reject the TEMP image.
−
If you are using the Red Hat Linux or SUSE Linux operating system, type the
following command:
update_flash -r
−
If you are using the AIX operating system, type the following command:
/usr/lpp/diagnostics/bin/update_flash -r
3. Start the TEMP image, as described in “ Starting the TEMP image ” on page 186 .
You might need to update the firmware code to the latest version. See “ Updating the
firmware ” on page 231 for more information about how to update the firmware code.
2.13.4 Verifying the system firmware levels
The diagnostics program displays the current system firmware levels for the TEMP and
PERM images. This function also displays which image the blade server used to start up.

See “Running the diagnostics program” on page 152.
2. From the Function Selection menu, select Task Selection and press Enter.

that the blade server used to start.
Note If the TEMP image level is more current than the PERM image, commit the TEMP image.
See “ Committing the TEMP system firmware image ” on page 188 .

Instructions window is displayed; then press F3 again to exit the diagnostic program.
