Diagnostic Information for Multiple Bus Systems manual). The microcode level is shown
in the ROS level field. Alternatively, give the following command:
lscfg -v1 adapter
where
adapter
is the ID of the adapter that you want to check.
You can determine the disk drive microcode level by using the Display/Download Disk
Drive Microcode SSA service aid (see “Display/Download Disk Drive Microcode Service
Aid” on page 393).
Maintaining the Adapter Microcode
Updates to microcode can be delivered on several types of media, or you can get them
from web page http://www.storage.ibm.com/hardsoft/products/ssa
1. Install the microcode as described in the instructions that are provided with the
installation media.
2. Run the cfgmgr command (if you have not already done so) to download the new
microcode into the SSA adapter.
3. If the SSA loops that are connected to this adapter contain two or more SSA
adapters, and those adapters are installed in two or more using systems, load the
adapter microcode, then run the cfgmgr command on each using system.
If the level of the microcode that is stored in the using system is higher than the level of
the microcode that is installed on the SSA adapter, the higher-level microcode is
automatically downloaded to the adapter when the using system runs its configuration
method.
Maintaining the Disk Drive Microcode
To download disk drive microcode, use the Display/Download Disk Drive Microcode
SSA service aid (see “Display/Download Disk Drive Microcode Service Aid” on
page 393).
