Firmware on blade
Hi.
I need to update firmware on a Js20 blade server I have and need to do it via Diagnostics CD, rather than using diag in AIX. So a little refresh on how to. Boot of the Diag CD, burn the firmware image to another CD-ROM and all set. Will I need to burn any additional files to the CD containing the .img file? Anything other to watch out for?

Hi guys,
I am a new member here. This is my first post.
I try to purchase some new Blade 2500 for the

with new Silver Blade 2500's. Has anyone here had
simlar experience with blade 2500?... (4 Replies)

I was more on the Sun side and now am getting exposure to the HP-UX side of the world. I have to upgrade firmware on BL870c blade.

NAME
boot - bootstrap process
DESCRIPTION
Itanium-based System Hardware
An system's bootstrap process involves the execution of four software components:
o CMOS
o option ROM
o EFI
o Boot Manager
o (see hpux.efi(1M)).
After the processor is reset, firmware initializes and tests processors and platform. During initialization, the firmware lets a user
interrupt and configure CMOS and option ROMs. It then transfers control to EFI, the Extensible Firmware Interface. EFI, in turn, initial-
izes EFI boot and runtime services and launches the Boot Manager. The Boot Manager, which allows loading of EFI application or drivers
from EFI defined file system, loads and transfers control to the HP-UX-specific bootstrap loader. then loads the HP-UX kernel object file
from the HP-UX file system to memory and transfers control to the loaded kernel image.
PA-RISC Hardware
The PA-RSIC bootstrap process involves the execution of three software components:
o (see pdc(1M),
o (see isl(1M), and
o (see hpux(1M).
After the processor is RESET, the (firmware), performs a self-test and initializes the processor. It then loads and transfers control to
the operating-system-independent in turn, loads and transfers control to the utility, the HP-UX-specific bootstrap loader. then downloads
the HP-UX kernel object file from an HP-UX file system and transfers control to the loaded kernel image.
