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 tar
format. The service aid then restores the script file genucode to the /tmp directory 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.
