3. Compare the firmware versions on the system to those in the package. For example, the
following command displays the firmware version in the IPF_SX2000_SD_5_5d.depot
file and the firmware that is currently installed on the system:
# /usr/sbin/swinstall -p -x autoreboot=true -x \
mount_all_filesystems=false -x reinstall=true -x \
allow_downdate=true -s /tmp/IPF_SX2000_SD_5_5d.depot \
FM_SX2000_SD
If the output indicates that more information can be displayed in the agent log file, enter:
# swjob -a log SYSTEM_NAME-0148 @ SYSTEM_NAME:/
where SYSTEM_NAME-0148 is the job ID of the swinstall command output.
If any errors prevent the firmware upgrade, the log also shows the error messages. You
must resolve the errors before the upgrade can proceed.
If you select firmware that is the same as on the system, a message about removing power
is also displayed.
4. Start the firmware upgrade. For example, the following command upgrades the system with
the firmware in the IPF_SX2000_SD_5_5d.depot file.
# /usr/sbin/swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x \
mount_all_filesystems=false -x reinstall=true -x \
allow_downdate=true -s /tmp/IPF_SX2000_SD_5_5d.depot \
FM_SX2000_SD
If instructed to remove power to the system, see Removing Power .
After the firmware is upgraded, the current partition will reset and boot HP-UX and all
other powered on partitions will reset.
5. To verify that firmware upgrade is successful, see Verify the HP-UX Firmware Update .
6. After the firmware upgrades successfully, enter the Management Processor PE command
to power on any partitions or unassigned cells that were powered off before the upgrade.
Upgrading Firmware on a Partition
Follow these steps to upgrade firmware on a partition:
1. Select the HP-UX partition from the complex to start the firmware upgrade.
2. Download the firmware package to the /tmp directory on the selected HP-UX partition as
described in
Downloading Firmware Packages .
A file named IPF_nnnn.depot is downloaded, where nnnn indicates the product number.
For example, IPF_SX2000_SD_5_5d.depot is the firmware package for the SX2000
Superdome Server.
3. Install the install_fw.sh installation shell script in the /usr/bin directory. For example:
# /usr/sbin/swinstall -s /tmp/IPF_SX2000_SD_5_5d.depot \
FM_SX2000_SD.HPOSIFM.BIN
4. Compare the firmware versions on the system to those in the package. For example, the
following command displays the firmware version in the IPF_SX2000_SD_5_5d.depot
file and the firmware that is currently installed on the system:
# /usr/bin/install_fw.sh -p -P -s /tmp/IPF_SX2000_SD_5_5d.depot \
FM_SX2000_SD
If the output indicates that more information can be displayed in the agent log file, enter:
# swjob -a log SYSTEM_NAME-0148 @ SYSTEM_NAME:/
