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
directory
/tmp/fwupdate
does
not
exist,
create
it
by
issuing
the
following
command:
mkdir
/tmp/fwupdate
3.
The
firmware
update
file
must
be
written
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
or
NFS-mounting
the
directory
on
the
host
server,
for
example.
The
firmware
update
file
can
also
be
transferred
to
the
target
system
by
backing
up
the
image
onto
diskette
from
another
server
and
restoring
it
into
the
/tmp/fwupdate
directory.
After
the
firmware
update
file
has
been
written
into
the
/tmp/fwupdate
directory,
verify
its
existence
by
entering
the
following
command:
ls
/tmp/fwupdate/MM*.img
The
update
file
will
have
the
format
MMyymmdd.img.
The
MM
indicates
that
this
is
an
update
image
for
a
Model
M80
or
Model
6M1
system:
yy
is
the
year,
mm
is
the
month,
and
dd
is
the
day
of
the
update
file.

After
the
update
file
has
been
written
to
the
/tmp/fwupdate
directory,
enter
the
following
commands:
cd
/usr/lpp/diagnostics/bin
./update_flash
-f
/tmp/fwupdate/MMyymmdd.img
