Generic Microcode

Download

This

service

aid

provides

a means of executing a

"generic"

script

from

a

diskette.

The

intended

purpose

for

this "generic" script is to load microcode to a supported

resource. This

script

runs

whatever

program

is

required

in

order

to

download

the

microcode

onto

the

adapter

or

device.

This

service

aid

is

supported

in

both

concurrent

and

standalone

modes

from

disk,

LAN,

or

loadable

media.

On entry,

the

service aid displays information about what it does. It

then

asks

for

a

Genucode

diskette

to

be

inserted into the diskette drive. The diskette

must be

in

ta

format. The service aid then

restoresgenucodethe

scriptto the/tmpfiledirectory

and

runs

the

script. The

script must

at

that

point then

pull

any

other

needed

files

from the diskette. The script

should

then run

whatever

program

is

necessary

in

order

to

perform

its

function. On

completion,

a

status

code

is

returned,

and

the

user

is

returned

to

the

service

aid.

The genucode

script

should

have

a # ! /usr/bin/ksh line

at

the

beginning

of

the

file.

Return

status

of

0 should

be

returned

if

the program

was

successful.

Hot

Plug

Task

The

Hot

Plug

Task

provides

software

function

for

those

devices

that

support

hot-plug

or hot-swap capability. This includes PCI adapters, SCSI devices, and some RAID

devices.

The

Hot

Plug

Task

has a

restriction

when

running

in Standalone

or

Online

Service

mode;

new

devices

may not be added to

the system

unless

there is already a device

with

the

same

FRU part

number installed

in

the

system. This

restriction is

in

place

because

the device software package for the

new device

cannot be installed

in

Standalone or Online Service mode.

Depending

on

the

environment and the software packages installed, selecting this

task

displays

the

following

three subtasks:

Ÿ

PCI

Hot

Plug

Manager

Ÿ

SCSI

Hot

Swap Manager

ŸRAID Hot Plug Devices

To run the Hot Plug Task directly from the command line, type the following:
