Function 30 – CEC SP IP address and location
Function 30 is one of the Extended control panel functions and is only available when Manual
mode is selected. You can use this function to display the central electronic complex (CEC)
Service Processor IP address and location segment. Table 2-14 shows an example of how to
use Function 30.

2.15.6 System firmware
Server firmware is the part of the Licensed Internal Code that enables hardware, such as the
service processor. Depending on your service environment, you can download, install, and
manage your server firmware fixes using different interfaces and methods, including the
HMC, or by using functions specific to your operating system. See 3.2.4, “IBM System p5
firmware maintenance” on page 87 for a detailed description of IBM System p5 firmware.
Temporary and permanent firmware sides
The service processor maintains two copies of the server firmware:
One copy is considered the permanent or backup copy and is stored on the permanent
side, sometimes referred to as the
p
side.
The other copy is considered the installed or temporary copy and is stored on the
temporary side, sometimes referred to as the
t
side. We recommend that you start and run
the server from the temporary side.
The copy actually booted from is called the
activated level
, sometimes referred to as
b
.
