Chapter 2. Verifying the Hardware Operation

The system verification procedure checks the system for correct hardware operation. If you have a problem with your system in the future, use this procedure to test the system hardware to help you determine if you have a hardware problem. Run the system verification procedure as described in the following steps.

Considerations Before Running This Procedure

These verification procedures use either online AIX diagnostics or standalone AIX diagnostics. Either the online AIX diagnostics or the standalone AIX diagnostics must be available to perform this procedure. Read the following before using this procedure:

v If this system unit is directly attached to another system unit or attached to a network, be sure

communications with the other systems are stopped.

v This procedure requires use of all of the system resources. No other activity can be running on the

system while you are performing this procedure.

v This procedure requires a display attached to a graphics adapter, or an ASCII terminal attached to the

S1 or S2 port.

Does the system have online AIX diagnostics preinstalled? YES Go to “Loading the Online AIX Diagnostics on a System” on page 18. NO Go to “Loading the Standalone Diagnostics on a System from CD-ROM” on page 18.

Power Procedures

These power procedures are here for reference during the system verification tests. Do not perform any power procedures until the verification procedures instruct you to do so.

INSTRUCTIONS display, call your support center for assistance.

Running Standalone Diagnostics from a Network Installation Management (NIM) Server

A client system connected to a network with a Network Installation Management (NIM) server can boot standalone diagnostics from the NIM server if the client-specific settings on both the NIM server and client are correct.

Notes:

1. All operations to configure the NIM server require root user authority.

2. If you replace the network adapter in the client, the network-adapter hardware-address settings for the client must be updated on the NIM server.

3. The Cstate for each standalone diagnostics client on the NIM server should be kept in the diagnostic boot has been enabled state.

4. On the client system, the NIM server network adapter should be put in the bootlist after the boot disk drive. This allows the system to boot in standalone diagnostics from the NIM server if there is a problem booting from the disk drive. For information about setting the bootlist, see the Multiboot section under “SMS” in the client system’s service guide.

Appendix F. Firmware Updates

Determining the Level of Firmware on the System

Note: This information may be superseded by the information that is available at

http://www.rs6000.ibm.com/support/micro. Always check the Web site for the latest images and instructions for checking the firmware level.

The firmware level is denoted by vFyymmdd, where v = version number, F = the system’s firmware designation, yy = year, mm = month, and dd = day of the release.

If the system is running AIX, the firmware level can be determined by either of the following methods: v On the AIX command line, by typing:

lscfg -vp|grep -p Platform

A line that begins with ROM level (alterable).. displays the firmware level that is currently on the system.

v Looking at the top of the service processor main menu.

If the system is running Linux, the platform firmware level can be determined by the following methods: v On the Linux command line type:

/usr/sbin/ibmras/nvram/ --print-vpd | grep 3F

A line similar to the following displays the firmware level that is currently on the system:

Alterable ROM Level 3F030504

v Look at the top of the service processor menu main menu.

System Firmware Update Using a Locally Available Image

To update the system firmware using a locally available image, perform the following steps:

1. Log in as root user.

2. If the directory /tmp/fwupdate does not exist, create it by running the following command:

mkdir /tmp/fwupdate

3. The firmware update file must be downloaded or copied into the /tmp/fwupdate directory on the system. This can be done by using the ftp command to get the image from an ftp server or NFS-mounting the directory on the host system.

The firmware updated file can also be transferred to the target system by backing up the image onto diskettes from another server and restoring it into the /tmp/fwupdate directory.

After the firmware update file has been downloaded or copied into the /tmp/fwupdate directory, verify its existence by running the following command:

ls /tmp/fwupdate/3F*.img

The update file will have the format 3Fyymmdd.img. The 3F indicates that this is an update image for your system: yy is the year, mm is the month, and dd is the day of the update file.

4. After the update file has been written to the /tmp/fwupdate directory, enter the following commands:

cd /usr/lpp/diagnostics/bin

./update_flash -f /tmp/fwupdate/3Fyymmdd.img

Attention: Do not overlook the periods (.) in the commands shown above. AIX commands are case-sensitive. Type them exactly as shown.

Page 94

You will be asked for confirmation to proceed with the firmware update and the required reboot. If you confirm, the system will apply the new firmware, reboot, and return to the AIX prompt. This may take up to ten minutes depending on the configuration of the system.

Attention: On some systems, the message Wait for rebooting before stopping may display on the system console. Do not turn off the system until the system has fully rebooted to the AIX login prompt. If a shutdown is necessary at that time, log in as root user and issue the shutdown command.

While the update is in progress, you will see Rebooting... on the display for several minutes.

The firmware update is complete.
