Firmware Upgrade Procedure for M-Series - M3000/M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 servers

Firmware update using the XSCF Shell
Commands used  to update the firmware:
  • getflashimage command: Imports firmware to this system.
  • flashupdate command: Downloads the firmware to flash memory and applies the XSCF firmware.
  • poweron command and reset command: Applies the OpenBoot PROM firmware.
  • version command: Displays the firmware version.
When upgrading an M9000, the controllers switch roles: active becomes standby, and vice-versa. At the end you will be connected to the standby controller.
M3000/M4000/M5000 servers --1 XSCF Unit
M8000/M9000 servers  -------2 XSCF Unit

Firmware Update for Redundant XSCF Units
In a system with redundant XSCF Units, you have only to connect to the XSCF Unit on the active side and update the firmware. The firmware upgrade is performed first on the XSCF Unit on the standby side and then on the active side automatically. Due to resetting the XSCF and switching the networks of the XSCF Units on the active and standby sides, the network is disconnected at this time. Therefore, the user must log in again.
In a system with redundant XSCF Units, if the system is operating with only the active XSCF Unit, such as because of a failure, the update of all firmware is suppressed.

Check current firmware level: version -c xcp
XSCF> version -c xcp
XSCF#0 (Active )
XCP0 (Reserve): 1116
XCP1 (Current): 1116

The XCP version number appears as xyyz by four digits, where:
  • x = Major firmware release number
  • yy = Minor release number
  • z = Micro release number

Check version of staged firmware: getflashimage -l
XSCF> getflashimage -l

Use the flashupdate command with the "check" argument to determine ability to update to the new firmware version. If the "XCP update is possible with domains up" message is displayed, proceed with the update:  flashupdate -c check -m xcp -s 1120
XSCF> flashupdate -c check -m xcp -s 1120
XCP update is possible with domains up

Update the firmware:     flashupdate -y -c update -m xcp -s 1120
XSCF> flashupdate -y -c update -m xcp -s 1120
The XSCF will be reset. Continue? [y|n] :y

If an Error Occurs During XSCF Firmware Update
-----------------------------------------------------------------
If the system hangs or any of the messages shown below is output during the firmware update, the XSCF Unit on the faulty side cannot be used and is treated as a faulty component.
Try the firmware update again when an error occurs while updating the XSCF firmware. The second attempt may succeed where the first failed.
Case where the XSCF Unit is redundantly configured (on M8000/M9000 servers)
Error involving a failed write or reset operation on the standby or active side
Case where there is one XSCF Unit (on M3000/M4000/M5000 servers)
Error involved a failed write or reset operation
