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
/tmp/fwupdate
directory
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,
a
NIM
server,
or
by
NFS-mounting
the
directory
on
the
host
system.
If
a
control
workstation
(CWS)
is
attached
to
the
system,
the
ftp
command
can
be
used
to
transfer
the
update
file
to
the
target
system
from
the
control
workstation.
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
entering
either
of
the
following
commands,
depending
on
the
name
of
the
update
image:
ls
/tmp/fwupdate/RJ*.img
OR
ls
/tmp/fwupdate/3RJ*.img
The
update
file
has
either
the
RJyymmdd.img
or
the
3Jyymmdd.img
format.
In
both
cases,
the
J
in
the
second
position
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
command:
cd
/usr/lpp/diagnostics/bin
5.
Enter
either
of
the
following
commands,
depending
on
the
name
of
the
update
file:
./update_flash
-f
/tmp/fwupdate/RJyymmdd.img
OR
./update_flash
-f
/tmp/fwupdate/3Jyymmdd.img
Attention:
Do
not
overlook
the
periods
(.)
in
the
commands
shown
above.
AIX
commands
are
case-sensitive.
Type
them
exactly
as
shown.
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.
