70 IBM Power 570 Technical Overview and Introduction
For a detailed description of each task, select System p information, support, and
troubleshooting → Fixes and upgrades → Getting fixes and upgrades from the IBM
Systems Hardware Information Center Web site at:

Receive server firmware fixes without an HMC
Periodically, you need to install fixes for your server firmware. If you do not use an HMC to
manage your server, you must get your fixes through your operating system. In this situation,
you can get server firmware fixes through the operating system regardless of whether your
operating system is AIX or Linux.
To do this, complete the following tasks:
1. Determine the existing level of server firmware using the lsmcode command.
2. Determine the available levels of server firmware.
3. Get the server firmware.
4. Install the server firmware fix to the temporary side.
5. Verify that the server firmware fix installed successfully.
6. Install the server firmware fix permanently (optional).
2.14.1 Service processor
The service processor is an embedded controller running the service processor internal
operating system. The service processor operating system contains specific programs and
device drivers for the service processor hardware. The host interface is a 32-bit PCI-X
interface connected to the Enhanced I/O Controller.
Service processor is used to monitor and manage the system hardware resources and
devices. The service processor offers the following connections:
Two Ethernet 10/100 Mbps ports
Both Ethernet ports are only visible to the service processor and can be used to attach the
p5-570 to a HMC or to access the Advanced System Management Interface (ASMI)
Note: To view existing levels of server firmware using the lsmcode command, you need to
have the following service tools installed on your server:
AIX
You must have AIX diagnostics installed on your server to perform this task. AIX
diagnostics are installed when you install AIX on your server. However, it is possible to
deselect the diagnostics. Therefore, you need to ensure that the online AIX diagnostics
are installed before proceeding with this task.
Linux
– Platform Enablement Library: librtas-nnnnn.rpm
– Service Aids: ppc64-utils-nnnnn.rpm
– Hardware Inventory: lsvpd-nnnnn.rpm
Where nnnnn represents a specific version of the RPM file.
If you do not have the service tools on your server, you can download them at the
following Web site:
