10.1.4.5 Updating the KZPSA-BB Adapter Firmware

You must check, and update as necessary, the system and host bus adapter firmware. The firmware may be out of date. Read the firmware release notes from the AlphaSystems Firmware Update CD-ROM for the applicable system/SCSI adapter.

If the Standard Reference Manual (SRM) console or KZPSA-BB firmware is not current, boot the Loadable Firmware Update (LFU) utility from the Alpha Systems Firmware Update CD-ROM. Choose the update entry from the list of LFU commands. LFU can update all devices or any particular device you select.

When you boot the Systems Firmware Update CD-ROM, you can read the firmware release notes. After booting has completed, enter read_rel_notes at the UPD> prompt. You can also copy and print the release notes as shown in Section 4.2.

To update the firmware, boot the LFU utility from the Alpha Systems Firmware Update CD-ROM.

It is not necessary to use the -flagoption to the boot command. Insert the Alpha Systems Firmware Update CD-ROM and boot. For example, to boot from dka600:

P00>>> boot dka600
