Dear All
I have query:" when i give sysrem command it shows firmware version.
[uninitialized] MP:CM> sysrev
Cabinet firmware revision report
PROGRAMMABLE HARDWARE :
System Backplane : GPM FM OSP
------- ------- -------
1.003 1.002 1.002
PCI-X Backplane : LPM HS
------- -------
2.000 1.000
Core IO : Master Slave
-------- -------
2.011 0.000
LPM PDHC
------- -------
Cell 0 : 1.002 1.010
Cell 1 : 1.002 1.010
FIRMWARE:
Core IO
Master : A.007.008
Event Dict. : 1.015
Slave : A.000.000 - not installed
Event Dict. : 0.000
Cell 0
PDHC : A.003.031
Pri SFW : 24.004 (PA)
Sec SFW : 3.096 (IA)
Cell 1
PDHC : A.003.031
Pri SFW : 24.004 (PA)
Sec SFW : 3.096 (IA)
I want to what is the difference or meaning between "PROGRAMMABLE HARDWARE" and "Firmware" part of the cell board.
I am a novice in the HP minicomputer world.

Hi,
it is always good to specify the system type you want information for. From the firmware revisions I would guess you have a rp7420 HP9000 server which is a midrange HP9000 server.
"Firmware" is running on a microprocessor (loaded from a flash rom) and contains a set of instructions in processor dependent code.
f.e. the "Pri SFW : 24.004 (PA)" is the firmware running on the PA processors, or the "Master : A.007.008" is running on the microprocessor of the Management Processor (also called Core I/O).
"Programmable Hardware" is simply a chip with programmable behaviour (FPGA, field programmable gate array) which is for example the power monitor on the cells (LPM) and backplane (GPM) and other chips.
Sometimes new hardware features make it nessecary to update those FPGAs, too in addition to firmware updates.
And only the correct combination of FPGA revision and firmware is supported on a midrange HP9000 server.
best regards
Stefan

Re: difference or meaning between "PROGRAMMABLE HARDWARE" and "Firmware" part of the cell board
Dear Friend
Thanks a lot to help me.I think when you are at my stage i mean when you start learning about HP-minicomputer on that time you have to read lots of documents. So please give me a document about cell board different components and which components need wiich firmware for example LPM is for power monitor or Pri SFW for Processors running etc.........

rp7420 documents can be found here:
http://docs.hp.com/en/hw.html#HP%209000%20rp7420%20Server
Suggest you start with the User Service Guide and User Guide for the Service Processor.
rp7420 Quickspecs:
