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 DKA0 CD-524E 4.0D
dkc100.1.0.10098.0 DKC100 RZ29B 0016
dva0.0.0.0.1 DVA0
ewa0.0.0.3.0 EWA0 00-00-F8-75-44-22
pkc0.7.0.1009.0 PKC0 SCSI Bus ID 7 5.27
pqa0.0.0.4.0 PQA0 PCI EIDE
pqb0.0.1.4.0 PQB0 PCI EIDE
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
base = 1d4000, image_start = 0, image_bytes = 151e00
initializing HWRPB at 2000
initializing page table at 1c6000
initializing machine state
setting affinity to the primary CPU
jumping to bootstrap code
