16.7 Firmware Version Matching with Parts Addition/Replacement
This section describes the firmware version matching when parts are added/replaced.
In a building block configuration, firmware is automatically updated during replacement of parts or addition of the SPARC M12-2S/M10-4S in order to match firmware versions in the system.
The following parts are targets:
  1. XSCF unit in the SPARC M12-2S
  2. CPU memory unit lower in the SPARC M10-4S
  3. XSCF unit in the crossbar box
Note - Replace/Add parts one by one. If multiple SPARC M12-2S/M10-4S servers are replaced/added at the same time, firmware is not automatically updated to match firmware versions. Update the firmware manually.
When parts are replaced or added in the systems described below, firmware is not automatically updated to match firmware versions. Update the firmware manually.
  1. System not in a building block configuration
  2. System with a crossbar box added
  3. SPARC M10-4S with an XCP version that does not support automatic update, and the maintenance menu is not used
For information on automatic update support for the SPARC M10-4S, see the Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 Systems Product Notes for the latest XCP version.
