To update the AlphaServer GS80/160/320 firmware with the LFU utility,
follow these steps:
1.
At the console for each partition, shut down the operating system.
2.
At the master SCM, turn power off to the system:
SCM_E0>
power off
You can turn power off to individual partitions if you want. Ensure that
power is turned off to all partitions.
SCM_E0>
power off -par 0
SCM_E0>
power off -par 1
3.
Use the
show nvr
SCM command to display SCM environment
variables. Record the
hp_count
and
hp_qbb_mask
n
environment
variables as a record of the hardware partition configuration. You do
not change the
hp_qbb_mask
n
environment variables, but record the
variables anyway.
