Recovering the system firmware
The system firmware is contained in separate temporary and permanent images in the flash
memory of the blade server. These images are referred to as TEMP and PERM, respectively.
The blade server normally starts from the TEMP image, and uses the PERM image as a
backup. If the TEMP image becomes damaged, such as from a power failure during a
firmware update, you can recover the TEMP image from the PERM image.
If your system hangs, access the management module and select Blade Tasks
→
Configuration
→
Boot Mode to show the Escala BL460 blade server in the list of blade
servers in the Bull Blade Chassis - Enterprise. Click the appropriate blade server and select
Permanent to force the system to start from the PERM image.
See the documentation for the management module to learn more.
