Updating Firmware
A-7
➊
This command requests a firmware update for a specific module. If
you want to update more than one device, you may use a wildcard but
not a list. For example,
update k*
updates all devices with names
beginning with k, and
update *
updates all devices.
➋
LFU requires you to confirm the update. For processors, the first
update to confirm is the AlphaBIOS firmware; the second is the SRM
console firmware. In either case, the default is no.
➌
Status message reports update and verification progress.
➍
This is a second example.
➎
The update failed. This could indicate a bad device.

CAUTION:
Never abort an update operation. Aborting corrupts the
firmware on the module.
