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.

SCM_E0> show nvr

COM1_PRINT_EN1

HP_COUNT2

HP_QBB_MASK03

HP_QBB_MASK1c

HP_QBB_MASK20

HP_QBB_MASK30

HP_QBB_MASK40

HP_QBB_MASK50

4.Remove all hardware partitions:

You do not need to zero the hp_qbb_maskn environment variables, only the hp_count.
