CAUTION: Never abort an update operation; you will corrupt the firm-
ware on the module.
1
This command specifically requests firmware updates for the CPU
and CIXCD modules. Note the syntax of a device list, separated by
spaces.
2
LFU requires you to confirm each update, if you named the modules
specifically.
3
Status message reports update and verification progress.
4
LFU prompts for each device in turn.
5
This is a second example. When you specify the * wildcard, LFU tries
to update all modules.
6
LFU prints the configuration table and prompts before all devices are
updated.
7
This message appears because, in this example, the firmware on the
DEMNA module is not at a lower revision level than the firmware im-
age on the CD-ROM. You can still request LFU to perform the up-
date. If the module version is equal to the update firmware, you may
have previously tried the update (making the module and CD-ROM
firmware images the same revision). However, if the verification
process had reported an error, you can repeat the update. Also, this
feature allows you to update a module with an older revision of firm-
ware.
8
This is another example, using a wildcard to request LFU to update
all DEMNA adapters in the system. When you use a device mnemonic
followed by a wildcard *, LFU prompts once for all devices of the
same type. A wildcard alone updates all devices.
