   * * * * * * * SIDE AFFECTS FROM UPDATING YOUR FIRMWARE * * * * * * *

                * None

   * * * * * * * * * * * * FIXES IN THIS PATCH * * * * * * * * * * * *

   obp.pdc - A fix was added to verify that the CPUs are all the
                  same speed and cache-line size before booting. In the
                  past autobooting was disabled if this happened, but the
                  machine was still allowed to boot.

   spp.pdc - A fix was added that fixes booting from FC60 disk arrays.

   spp.pdc - A fix was added that caused the path translation to fail
                  if the machine was booted from a SCSI disk when the
                  primary or alternate path was set to a tachlite fabric
                    path.

   diag_version - This product is updated for every patch.

   * * * * * * * * IDENTIFY CURRENT VERSION OF FIRMWARE * * * * * * *

        Prior to performing the firmware update, verify the current
        version of your firmware, using the following steps:

        Step 1. In a diagnostic window on the Test Station of your
                 system execute the following command:

                     diag_version

                 Identify the diagnostic revision. The output from the
                 above command should read:

                     HP9000/V2500_V2600 Diagnostics, Version 3.2.1

                 If not then do not proceed with this update.

                 To get to this diagnostic version (3.2.1) you will need to
                 install TSSW Version 3.2 and patch PF_CV260321, and then
                 install this patch.

   * * * * * * * * MOVING FILES TO CORRECT DIRECTORY * * * * * * *

        Step 1. Move the files to the proper locations as follows.

                 mv obp2500.pdc /spp/firmware/obp2500.pdc
                 mv entry2500.pdc /spp/firmware/entry2500.pdc
                 mv spp.pdc /spp/firmware/spp.pdc
                 mv diag_version /spp/bin/diag_version

        Step 2. Check permissions and ownerships on the files. The files
                 must be owner by user sppuser and group sppuser. The files
                 must have permissions of at least 0444 (-r--r--r--).
                 diag_version must have at least 0555 (-r-xr-xr-x).
                 Please refer to the man pages for chown, chgrp, and chmod
                 for details on how to change ownership, group ownership
                 and permissions.

   * * * * * * * * * * * UPDATE PROCEDURE * * * * * * * * * * *

        Step 1. If your system is at the OS level then shutdown the
                 system via the /etc/shutdown command to the OBP prompt.
                 When the system completes the shutdown process, either
                 the "Command: " or "[] ok " prompt should be displayed
                 in the console window.

        Step 2. On the test station, run ts.install. This may be done
                 by issueing the command "/spp/scripts/inst/ts.install".
                 When ts.install completes reboot the test station with
                 an "/etc/reboot" command.

        Step 3. If the "Command: " prompt is displayed and the node's
                 console is connected to the test station, execute the
                 firmware upgrade and initialization script. This script
                 will interface with test station utilities and OBP to
                 load the new firmware. The complex argument below is the
                 name assigned to the node via ts_config. You should be
                 root at the test station.

                 # /spp/scripts/fw_init -c <complex>

                 The firmware upgrade script automatically loads the new
                 firmware. If the script encounters an error, or the
                 node's console isn't connected to the test station, the
                 installation may have to be performed manually. If so,
                 consult the fw_install(1) man page for instructions.

       Step 4. Verify that you have installed the firmware successfully.
                 Run diag_version, you should see this result:

                HP9000/V2500_V2600 Diagnostics, Version 3.2.2

                 When the system is ready, the system banner should report
                 the following versions. This can also be verified with the
                 VE command from the Command: prompt.

                      PDC Firmware Version Information
                            PDC_ENTRY version 4.3.4.0
                             POST Revision: 3.2.0.0
          OBP Release 4.3.4, compiled 01/08/03 10:30:06 (3)
               SPP_PDC (64-bit) Release 3.2.1 (09/14/01 09:07:19)
