Command

Behavior

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is the original FWH image before an upgrade.

 

FWH0

 

 

 

 

 

FWH0 has Image N installed, which is a newer image

 

Image N

 

 

than what is installed in FWH1 (Image N-1).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FWH1

 

 

 

 

Image N-1

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

./flashlnx –m

User can initiate a BIOS update while the OS is

 

FWH0

 

 

 

 

running.

 

Image N

 

 

When this command is invoked, Image N in FWH0

 

 

 

(BIOS codes + CMOS settings) is synchronized to

 

 

 

 

FWH1. Image N has now been copied to the backup

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FWH1 BIOS image

 

FWH1

 

 

 

 

 

No reboot is needed for this operation.

 

Image N

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

./flashlnx –b Pxx-xxxx

When this command is invoked, the FWH0 image is

 

FWH0

 

 

 

 

updated to the latest version (Image N+1).

 

 

 

The latest version of the BIOS will take effect after

 

Image N+1

 

 

 

 

 

the user initiates a reset.

 

 

 

 

If a checksum error is detected on FWH0 after a

 

 

 

 

reboot, it will automatically switch to FWH1 and

 

FWH1

 

 

 

 

 

regain normal operation.

 

Image N

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NOTE: N = BIOS version.
