To update the AlphaServer GS80/160/320 firmware with the LFU utility,
follow these steps:

1.

At the console for each partition, shut down the operating system.

2.

At the master SCM, turn power off to the system:

SCM_E0> power off

You can turn power off to individual partitions if you want. Ensure that
power is turned off to all partitions.

SCM_E0> power off -par 0

SCM_E0> power off -par 1

3.

Use the show nvr SCM command to display SCM environment
variables. Record the hp_count and hp_qbb_maskn environment
variables as a record of the hardware partition configuration. You do
not change the hp_qbb_maskn environment variables, but record the
variables anyway.
