2.5.4 Reconfiguring Fibre Channel Switches

If a fibre cable is moved from one fibre channel port to another, the console will need to be initialized before

devices can be accessed via the new switch.

2.5.5 KGPSA Messages

Messages similar to “retry ct pga0.0.0.2.6” may occur on systems that have KGPSA devices and are informational

and do not represent an error. They result from rejected accesses to a busy fibre channel switch which are allowed

and thus retried.

2.5.6 Before installing AlphaBIOS V5.70

You must

install HAL Revision G on your system before attempting to install AlphaBIOS 5.70. Otherwise, the

system will hang at boot time. The AlphaBIOS 5.70 supports changes introduced in HAL Revision G for systems

based on the Alpha 21264 CPU. HAL Rev. G should be available from AlphaBIOS/HAL and NT Drivers

2.5.7 KGPSA Console Driver Startup

When the console KGPSA driver starts, you may see the error message “pga0.0.0.2.4 - Nvram read failed”. See the

WWIDMGR USERS MANUAL for information about formatting the NVRAM.

3 Firmware Update Procedure

This chapter explains how to invoke the Loadable Firmware utility [LFU] to update AlphaServer firmware from

the SRM or AlphaBIOS console. Firmware update information is also described in the Owners Guide.

AlphaServer systems recently shipped may have a higher firmware revision than the firmware revision listed in

this release. Do not load firmware that is older than what is presently installed. A higher firmware revision usually

indicates support for the currently shipping operating system. The revision number of the console firmware and the

Alpha Firmware CD are mutually exclusive.

A system reset or re-initialization should be done after the operating system is shut down and before the update

utility is run.

3.1 Update Firmware from SRM Console

The following procedure shows how to update console and I/O option firmware. To update only I/O option

firmware, select the option name after the update command e.g. UPD> update pka0. Type the list command to

display available option names.

Insert Firmware CD into drive

Re-initialize the system

Boot the Alpha Firmware CD

Press the Enter key after Bootfile:

Type update

Exit the LFU

>>> show device

>>> init

>>> boot dka500

Bootfile:

UPD> update

UPD>exit

Find the CD-ROM device ID e.g.

dka500

Boot code determines the AlphaServer

type

Press enter to use default firmware

Update console and i/o option firmware

Exiting will initialize the system
