6.
Restart the compute node to apply the firmware update.
7.
Run the following command in AIX or Linux to verify if the firmware update was successful:
lsmcode -A
Run the following command in VIOS to verify if the firmware update was successful:
lsfware -all
Starting the TEMP image
The system firmware is contained in separate temporary and permanent images in the flash memory of
the compute node. These images are referred to as TEMP and PERM, respectively. The compute node
normally starts from the TEMP image. Start the TEMP image before you update the firmware.
About this task
To start the TEMP image, see http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/flexsys/information/topic/
com.ibm.acc.psm.hosts.doc/dpsm_managing_hosts_power_firmware.html.
Verifying the system firmware levels
The diagnostics program displays the current system firmware levels for the temporary (TEMP) and
permanent (PERM) images. This function also displays which image the compute node used to start.
Procedure
1.
Start the diagnostics program.
2.
From the Function Selection menu, select Task Selection and press Enter.
3.
From the Tasks Selection List menu, select Update and Manage System Flash and press Enter.
The top of the Update and Manage System Flash menu displays the system firmware level for the
PERM and the TEMP images and the image that the compute node used to start.
Note:
If the TEMP image level is more current than the PERM image, commit the TEMP image.
4.
When you have verified the firmware levels, press F3 until the Diagnostic Operating Instructions
window is displayed, and then press F3 again to exit the diagnostic program.
Using the SMS utility
Use the System Management Services (SMS) utility to configure the IBM Flex System p260 Compute
Node or IBM Flex System p460 Compute Node.
