Solution 2300750.1 : Fujitsu M10-1/M10-4/M10-4S Servers: The Versions are Different After Performing a Flashupdate

Applies to:

Fujitsu M10-4 - Version All Versions and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

The output from the XCP command "version -c xcp -v" shows different versions between the current and reserve banks.

Example:

XSCF> version -c xcp -v
BB#00-XSCF#0 (Master)
XCP0 (Current): 2340
CMU : 02.34.0000
    POST : 3.13.0
    OpenBoot PROM : 4.38.5+2.23.0
    Hypervisor : 1.4.13
XSCF : 02.34.0000
XCP1 (Reserve): 2340
CMU : 02.33.0000
    POST : 3.13.0
    OpenBoot PROM : 4.38.5+2.21.0
    Hypervisor : 1.4.12
XSCF : 02.34.0000
CMU BACKUP
#0: 02.34.0000
#1: 02.33.0000

Changes

Updated to a new version of XCP on the M10 XSCFU

Cause

This is normal for a system that was updated while the ppar was powered on.

Solution

There is no issue with running a system in this manner. The versions can be sync'ed by powering off the ppars and redoing the flashupdate with the "-f" option.

Example:

flashupdate -c update -m xcp -s 2340 -f

Note: After performing a flashupdate the PPAR(s) will need to be poweroff/poweron to use the new versions of POST, Hypervisor, and OBP.

See documents 1554086.1 to find the current version of M10 XCP.
