Back up your system before installing a patch. 2. Login as root. 3. Copy the patch to the /tmp directory. 4. Move to the /tmp directory and unshar the patch: cd /tmp sh PHSS_30921 5. Run swinstall to install the patch: swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x patch_match_target=true \ -s /tmp/PHSS_30921.depot By default swinstall will archive the original software in /var/adm/sw/save/PHSS_30921. If you do not wish to retain a copy of the original software, include the patch_save_files option in the swinstall command above: -x patch_save_files=false WARNING: If patch_save_files is false when a patch is installed, the patch cannot be deinstalled. Please be careful when using this feature. For future reference, the contents of the PHSS_30921.text file is available in the product readme: swlist -l product -a readme -d @ /tmp/PHSS_30921.depot To put this patch on a magnetic tape and install from the tape drive, use the command: dd if=/tmp/PHSS_30921.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k Special Installation Instructions: 1. This patch will only install and update the firmware on these systems: 9000/785/C8000 If you wish to install the patch on a different system even though it does not apply, you can force the installation of the patch by touching the file '/tmp/force_patch_install' before installing the patch. This may be useful when creating a 'golden' archive image for Ignite-UX that may be used on several different hardware platforms. If the patch is installed on a system other than those listed above, it will not modify the system firmware so no harm will occur. 2. If the SUPPORT-TOOLS or Online Diagnostics software is installed, the existing firmware will be saved during the installation of the patch. In this case, if the patch is removed, the original firmware will be restored. If neither the SUPPORT-TOOLS nor Online Diagnostics software is installed, the existing firmware will not be saved during the installation of the patch. In this case, if the patch is removed the original firmware will not be restored and the firmware installed by the patch will remain loaded after the patch is removed. 3. The firmware update is accomplished by temporarily modifying the autoboot file on the primary boot disk. To identify the disk, patch assumes that the primary boot disk is the first disk listed in the /stand/bootconf file. To ensure the firmware update is successful, please use the setboot(1M) and ioscan(1M) commands to verify that the primary boot disk is the first disk listed in the /stand/bootconf file. If it is not, modify the bootconf file appropriately. Please reference the man page for bootconf(4) for information on this file. 4. It is recommended that the firmware update is performed outside of an OS update or Update-UX session. If a firmware update is performed, it will be excluded from installation to ensure that OS update or Update UX is successful. 5. The firmare update will be excluded from installation if the firmware revision in the patch is the same and older than the one the system is running on. This will ensure that no un-necessary system reboot occurs. Use 'swremove' command to restore/go back to previous firmware revision. 6. The firmware update will be excluded from installation if the system is running in a VPAR session. To update the firmware, shut down all VPAR's and reboot the server into standalone mode using the primary path. 7. The firmware update will be excluded from installation if the BMC Administrator Password is set. To update the firmware, clear the password by connecting to 'CLI' and using the 'c' command.
