Updating Firmware
B-7
➊
This command requests a firmware update for a specific module. If you want to
update more than one device, you may use a wildcard but not a list. For example,
update k* updates all devices with names beginning with k, and update *
updates all devices.
➋
LFU requires you to confirm the update. For processors, the first update to
confirm is the AlphaBIOS firmware; the second is the SRM console firmware.
In either case, the default is no.
➌
Status message reports update and verification progress.
➍
This is a second example.
➎
The update failed. This could indicate a bad device.

CAUTION: Never abort an update operation. Aborting corrupts the firmware on the
module.
