  21. Appendix C Problems During Firmware Update

6.6.4 Updating the Firmware


6.6.4 Updating the Firmware
This section describes the procedure for updating the firmware.
Note - Perform the update with a user account that has the fieldeng privileges.
When using XCP 2260 or later, you can also perform this work with the platadm privileges.
Preparing the Firmware
  1. Download the firmware file from the following website.
    Download the firmware file to an arbitrary folder on a PC or workstation that is connected to the system.
Note - The information on these sites is for customers of Fujitsu.
  1. - Japanese site
    Customers who subscribe to SupportDesk can download the firmware file from the SupportDesk-Web.

    - Global site
    For the latest firmware file, contact your sales representative.
  1. Check the downloaded firmware version number.
    For the firmware version, refer to the four-digit number of the firmware file (tar.gz).
Importing the Firmware Into the System
This section describes how to use the XSCF shell to import PCI expansion unit firmware from USB memory.
When importing through XSCF Web, the procedure is the same as that for importing XCP.
Note - Perform this task with a user account that has the platadm or fieldeng privileges.
  1. Log in to the XSCF shell in the master chassis.
    - For the SPARC M12-1/M12-2/M10-1/M10-4
    This is always the master chassis since it has a single-unit configuration.

    - For the SPARC M12-2S/M10-4S (without the crossbar box)
    The master chassis is the chassis where the MASTER LED (green) on the rear of the chassis of BB-ID#00 and #01 is on.

    - For the SPARC M12-2S/M10-4S (with the crossbar box)
    The master chassis is the chassis where the MASTER LED (green) on the rear of the chassis of BB-ID#80 and #81 is on.
  2. Connect the USB memory to the USB port of the server.
Note - Connect the USB memory to the USB port shown as "MAINTENANCE ONLY."
  1. Execute the getflashimage command to import the downloaded firmware into the system.
  1. Specify the downloaded firmware file (tar.gz).
    In the following example, the PCIBOX1100.tar.gz file in the images folder of the USB memory is specified.
XSCF> getflashimage file:///media/usb_msd/images/PCIBOX1100.tar.gz
  1. If the procedure ends successfully, "Download successful: ..." will be displayed first, and then "MD5: ..." will be displayed.
  1. Execute the getflashimage command, and confirm that the PCI expansion unit firmware has been imported.
XSCF> getflashimage -l
Updating the Firmware
This section describes how to use the XSCF shell to update the firmware.
When updating through XSCF Web, use the [Menu] - [Settings] - [Add-In Card Manager] menu. Select the PCI expansion unit from [Devices List], and click the [Update...] button to update the firmware.
Note - Perform the update with a user account that has the fieldeng privileges.
For XCP 2260 or later, you can even use the platadm privileges to perform "-c check" and "-c update" of the ioxadm command, or the corresponding XSCF Web function.
  1. Execute the ioxadm command to check the version of the firmware that is currently running.
XSCF> ioxadm -v list
  1. For details, see "6.6.1 How to Check the Serial Number and Firmware Version of the PCI Expansion Unit."
  2. Execute the ioxadm command to update the firmware.
    In the following example, the PCIBOX#2007 firmware is updated to the 1100 version.
XSCF> ioxadm -c update PCIBOX#2007 -s 1100
Firmware update is started. (version=1100)
Firmware update has been completed.
  1. After "Firmware update is started." is displayed, nothing is displayed for about 30 minutes before "Firmware update has been completed." is displayed.
  1. Execute the ioxadm command to check the firmware version.
    Confirm that the firmware version of the updated firmware is correct.
XSCF> ioxadm -v list
  1. To reflect the firmware, you need to release and reconnect the link card.
    Methods a, b, and c below are available for releasing the link card:
    a. Releasing and reconnecting the link card after stopping the system

    Stop the system after restoring the original Auto boot setting of the target physical partition. Also, after stopping the system, return the mode switch on the operation panel to Locked mode. The firmware will be reflected at the next startup.
{0} ok setenv auto-boot? true
XSCF> poweroff -p 0
