Updating
System
Firmware
From
the
Service
Processor
Menus
This
method
is
recommended
for
all
managed
systems.
Updating
the
system
firmware
using
the
service
processor
menus
avoids
the
resource
allocation
issues
that
can
arise
if
the
the
managed
system
is
a
partitioned
system.
Using
this
method
takes
no
longer
than
updating
firmware
using
the
AIX
Service
Aids
or
the
AIX
command
line.
The
service
processor
menus
are
available
while
the
system
is
powered
off.
As
a
privileged
user,
from
the
service
processor
main
menu,
select
Service
Processor
Setup
,
then
select
Reprogram
Flash
EPROM
Menu
.
The
update
process
requests
update
diskettes
as
needed.
Refer
to
the
detailed
instructions
that
are
provided
with
the
latest
image
on
CORE.
Updating
System
Firmware
from
the
AIX
Service
Aids
Attention:
This
method
is
not
recommended
for
partitioned
systems,
but
if
the
device
resources
are
allocated
properly,
the
firmware
update
can
be
done
using
the
AIX
service
aid.
Attention:
This
service
aid
is
supported
only
in
online
diagnostics.
If
the
firmware
on
a
partitioned
system
is
being
updated:
v
One
partition
running
AIX
must
have
service
authority.
v
All
other
partitions
except
the
one
with
service
authority
must
be
shut
down.
v
The
partition
with
service
authority
must
own
the
device
from
which
the
firmware
update
image
will
be
read.
v
It
is
also
recommended
that
the
partition
with
service
authority
have
a
hard
disk.
If
the
required
devices
are
not
in
the
partition
with
service
authority,
the
customer
or
system
admistrator
must
reassign
the
appropriate
resources
to
it.
This
requires
rebooting
the
partition
with
service
authority.
To
avoid
the
resource
allocation
issues,
it
is
recommended
that
the
service
processor
menus
be
used
to
update
the
firmware.
If
the
firmware
on
a
full
system
partition
is
being
updated,
no
special
steps
are
required
to
perform
the
firmware
update
using
the
service
aid.
Refer
to
the
detailed
instructions
that
are
provided
with
the
latest
image
on
CORE.
Note:
Because
the
system
always
reboots
itself
during
this
type
of
firmware
update
process,
the
update
process
can
take
from
twenty
to
sixty
minutes.
