action, specifying NS16200 or NS14200 as your system type, OSM recognizes the running
firmware as appropriate and displays the correct default firmware file names and versions.
• If you are upgrading (either completely or partially) an existing NS16000 server to NS16200
or an existing NS14000 server to NS14200, because the older blade firmware that was fine
for NS16000 and NS14000 does not support the NS16200 or NS14200 (rx 2660) blades.
After migrating to the appropriate RVU to support NS16200 or NS14200, the upgrade
procedure directs you to perform this OSM action. Upon completion of the action, OSM
displays the older running firmware as Down-rev and displays the proper default firmware
file names and versions required for NS16200, NS14200, and hybrid (NS16000/NS16200
or NS14000/NS14200) systems.
If you then need to fall back to your original NS16000 or NS14000 configuration (removing
all NS16200 or NS14200 processors) and want to fall back to your original firmware as
well, you should perform the action again to specify NS16000 or NS14000 as the system
type. OSM will then show the newer (NS16200/NS14200) firmware as Up-rev and original
firmware as the appropriate minimum version to which you can fall back.
• If you are directed by the GMCSC or service provider to perform the action and choose
"Recommended Fix Firmware File Set" from the list of options. This causes OSM to show the
very latest blade firmware available on the SUT as the Default File Version to be used for a
firmware update. This may be necessary to incorporate a recent fix not in the original minimum
base firmware for your system type.
NOTE: The list of system types or configurations for which this action must be performed may
grow as other hardware and/or memory configurations requiring blade software beyond the base
versions required for NS16000 and NS14000 become available.
Install Core License File
Valid only for NonStop BladeSystem NB54000c and NB56000c, this action launches a guided
procedure to install core license files.
NOTE: This action installs the core license files and provides an option to enable the system to
run with the number of cores and processors specified in the license file. If the enable option is not
selected during this procedure, the
Update Running Core License action must be used for
enablement.
Perform Data Sanitization
This action launches a guided procedure that provides a simple and secure method for erasing all
data from disk drives that are to be retired from service. The procedure can be used to sanitize
any SCSI, FC, SAS, or CLIM-attached disks that are connected to a system and are in the Down
state. For more information on using the procedure, see the online help available from within the
guided procedure.
Read Core License
Valid only for NonStop BladeSystem NB54000c and NB56000c, this action reads the core license
file and displays (in the Action Detail dialog box) the system serial number, the number of enabled
cores, and the number of enabled processors
If the core license file is missing or does not match, the action returns an error indicating that the
correct license file needs to be installed.
Rediscover System
Causes OSM to refresh and reanalyze all components within the system.
