Cell Boot is blocked

System Boot Rom (SFW) firmware rev 24.001

Consider to use MP's "DFW" command to adjust this (power off the system)!

Thank you Holger.

[Torsten.]

Even if the system is up now, you should care about the firmware.


You currently have a mix of release 4.0 and 4.2.

Thank you Torsten.

In this situation, when cells are having different firmware levels, how to make it equal? How to proceed in such situation?

I have replaced a cell from another rp7420 box, and hence this situtaion occurred.

You can either update or duplicate the firmware or even swap the cells daugther board.

Update

Download the bundle and STRICTLY follow the instructions:

http://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/psi/swdDetails/?sp4ts.oid=392502&spf_p.tpst=swdMain&spf_p.prp_swdMain=wsrp-navigationalState%3Didx%253D2%257CswItem%253Dpf_82060_1%257CswEnvOID%253D54%257CitemLocale%253D%257CswLang%253D%257Cmode%253D4%257Caction%253DdriverDocument&javax.portlet.begCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken&javax.portlet.endCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken

Duplicate

- power of the box, run "DFW" from the MP

- select the destination component

- select the source component

- do this once for SFW, once for PDHC

Example:

[mp] MP:CM> dfw
 ...

  Note: You can only duplicate one firmware type at a time.

Check with "sysrev"

 Swap board

There is a board on the cell between CPU and memory. This board stores the firmware. If not damaged on the old cell, you may try to swap these boards between the old and new cell.
