Patch Name: PF_CC360015 Patch Description: HP 9000 Model C360 revision 1.5 firmware patch - reset PCI LAN cards to prevent hangs and HPMC's during reboot and HPUX shutdowns PF_CC360014: - reset the core LAN to prevent hangs during reboot and shutdowns PF_CC360013: - TOC works with 64bit HPUX PF_CC360012: - fixes LAN timeout problem when the BCH lan search command is used - the BCH search LAN command now allows the number of retries to be set to specific values. Two different types can be controlled: the number of retries while searching for a server and the number of retries during an IO transfer. These values are set by specifying a LAN IP (all zeros means search for any available server) followed by the search retry number and the IO retry number. Example: sea lan.0.0.0.0.5.100 specifies a search for any available server retrying search packets 5 times and IO packets 100 times. - firmware updates will now keep the current EEPROM settings for boot paths and configurations rather than resetting them to defaults. - a "-5 returned by LAN entry init" is now only displayed if a specific "search lan" is used vs a general "search". A message suggesting that a LAN cable may be missing or not connected will be displayed also. - the clock speed selftest works properly. - additional cache selftests were added. - PDC_RDR now clears the return buffer before reading the rdr value. PF_CC360011: - supports C360 with PA8500 processor Path Name: /firmware_patches/hp/cpu/PF_CC360015 Creation Date: 00/07/10 Post Date: 00/07/19 SR: None "sum" output: 25344 4804 CC360015.frm Hardware Dependencies: HP 9000 Model C360 Supersedes: PF_CC360011 PF_CC360012 PF_CC360013 PF_CC360014 Installation Instructions: Please review all instructions and the Hewlett-Packard Support Line User Guide or your Hewlett-Packard support terms and conditions for precautions, scope of license, restrictions, and, limitation of liability and warranties, before installing this patch. Read all of these instructions before proceeding with the update. Printing these instructions will be helpful. Commands to be executed will be inside < > ie: Keys to be pressed will be inside [ ] ie: [return] * * * * * * SIDE AFFECTS FROM UPDATING YOUR FIRMWARE * * * * * * * THE FIRMWARE UPDATING NOW USES FUPDATE. * * * * * * * * CREATING THE FIRMWARE UPDATE TAPE * * * * * * * * Step 1. Verify the checksum of the file ".frm" using the "sum" command. Results of the command should be equal to the "sum" value as documented in the header of this document. Step 2. Use the "dd" command to copy the file "CC360015.frm" to tape, as follows: dd if=CC360015.frm of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k ^^^^^^^^^^^ (device path dependent) NOTE: Blocksize (bs) must be = 2k * * * * * * * IDENTIFY CURRENT VERSION OF FIRMWARE * * * * * * * Prior to performing the firmware update, verify the current version of your firmware, using the following steps: Step 1. Re-boot your system and do the following: A. Interrupt the boot process and from the BOOT ADMIN prompt, type and press [return]. B. Identify your firmware revision. The last 2 digits in the patch name indicate the revision. In this case, 1.5 is the revision. If the revision on your system is equal to or higher than 1.5, do not proceed with the update. Type "in fv" to display the firmware revision at BCH before updating. * * * * * * * * * * FIRMWARE UPDATE PROCEDURE * * * * * * * * * * Step 1: Install the tape you have just created into your tape drive. Step 2. Shutdown your system via the power switch and power back on, or execute the reboot command resetting your system. Step 3. When the display reads "Searching for a system to boot" press [escape]. At the BOOT ADMIN prompt, type and press [enter] or [return] to identify the tape device path. Step 4. Boot from the appropriate boot path. (You must boot from the device that contains the firmware update tape.) NOTE: This process is automatic and requires no interaction until directed to do so. Please do not Interrupt the process. NOTE: The load process will take about 2 minutes. NOTE: FROM THIS POINT FORWARD, THIS PROCESS CANNOT BE INTERRUPTED UNTIL COMPLETION. INTERRUPTING THIS PROCESS WILL CAUSE YOUR SYSTEM TO BE INOPERATIVE. Step 5.
