Thanks a lot for all your help, can you please direct me for some guide where I can study all the documentation on how to update for AIX5.1, latest ML and IIRC? And any rollback strategy in case of any failure?

Can you please elaborate this? i.e. how to check firmware revision and the later part of your sentence.

RS6000 SSA Raid question

Hi Can I add disks on the fly to extend the capacity of an existing RAID 5 volume? It's created on a 4P Advanced SSA Raid Adapter. I need to extend a volume group, so I figured it would be easiest to extend the "physical disk" which is a RAID5 volume. Thanks. (1 Reply)

EFICHECK(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					       EFICHECK(8)

NAME
eficheck -- check the integrity of the x86 flash chip firmware. SYNOPSIS
eficheck --integrity-check [-h EFI-hash-input-file] [-b EFI-binary-input-file] eficheck --show-hashes [-h EFI-hash-input-file] [-b EFI-binary-input-file] eficheck --generate-hashes [-h EFI-hash-output-file] [-p output-path] eficheck --save [-b EFI-binary-output-file] eficheck --cleanup [-b EFI-binary-input-and-output-file>] eficheck --version eficheck --help DESCRIPTION
eficheck is a tool to check the x86 flash chip firmware. The following commands can be used with eficheck: --integrity-check hashes portion of the firmware and compares against known-good hashes --generate-hashes outputs hashes for a given firmware to be used as known-good hashes --show-hashes shows the hashes for the sub-sections of the firmware which are measured --save saves the full flash chip contents to a binary file. Requires root privileges. --cleanup zeros any privacy-sensitive data (such as nvram), enabling the file to be shared for analysis. --version print out eficheck version number. --help display a short help. EXAMPLES
'eficheck --save -b firmware.bin' Save this system's EFI firmware as firmware.bin 'eficheck --cleanup -b firmware.bin' Overwrite the EFI variables portion of the firmware.bin, in place 'eficheck --generate-hashes' Analyze the current system's installed EFI firmware, and store the hashes into hash file(s) in current folder File name(s) will be selected according to image's EFI version(s) 'eficheck --generate-hashes -b firmware.bin' Analyze the firmware.bin, and store the hashes into hash file(s) in current folder. Filename will be based on the detected firmware version. 'eficheck --generate-hashes -p /usr/local/allowlists' Analyze the current system's installed EFI firmware, and store the hashes into hash file(s) in /usr/local/allowlists folder 'eficheck --integrity-check' Attempt to automatically determine which firmware you are running, and integrity check against the appropriate file, and report any differences 'eficheck --integrity-check -h /usr/libexec/firmwarecheckers/eficheck/EFIAllowListShipping.bun- dle/allowlists/IM171.88Z.0105.B08.1604111319.0.ealf' Compare the current system's EFI firmware against the Apple-provided expected measurements for an "iMac17,1" at firmware revision B08, and report any differences 'eficheck --integrity-check -h hash.ealf -b firmware.bin' Compare the given hash file against against the given firmware image and report any differences 'eficheck --show-hashes' Print the hashes for the current system's installed EFI firmware to stdout 'eficheck --show-hashes -b firmware.bin' Print the hashes for the given firmware.bin to stdout 'eficheck --show-hashes -h IM171.88Z.0105.B08.1604111319.0.ealf' Print the hashes for the given allowlist to stdout May 25, 2017
