Current Version Verification
With On-line Diagnostics
The current version of PDC can be determined using on-line diagnostics. If on-line diagnostics are not
present on your system, use the boot console handler procedure to verify the current version.
For Operating Systems prior to HPUX 10.20 IPR9707, both the Sysdiag and MSTM Procedures may be
followed. For Operating Systems HPUX 10.20 IPR9707 and later, Sysdiag is no longer available, therefore
the MSTM Procedure must be followed.
Sysdiag Procedure
Use the following procedure to determine the firmware version:
1. At the system prompt, enter sysdiag
2. At the sysdiag prompt, enter sysmap
3. At the sysmap prompt, enter cpumap
4. The output of cpumap will display the current PDC revision. Follow the instructions of the
TPPPdddd.text file (described in the file naming conventions section) to determine if your system
requires a PDC update.
MSTM Procedure
Use the following procedure to determine the firmware version:
1. At the system prompt, enter
mstm.
2. Press the OK softkey.
3. Press the device softkey.
4. Press the select class softkey.
5. Select processor as Device Type.
6. Select all as Qualifier Type.
7. Press the OK softkey.
8. Press the previous menu softkey.
9. Press the tools softkey.
10. Press the information softkey.
11. Press the run softkey.
12. When ’Last Op Status’ reads "Successful" for the processors, press the info log softkey.
The revision of PDC is in the ’PDC Firmware Revision:’ field.
With Boot Console Handler (BCH)
1. Log on as root, and enter “reboot -r”. This command will shutdown the Operating System and reboot
the system.
2. If AUTOBOOT is on, you will receive the following message:
“Process is starting autoboot process
To discontinue, press any key within 10 seconds.”
Press any key within 10 seconds to interrupt the booting process.
3. The Main Menu is displayed. A prompt will appear as:
“MAIN MENU: Enter command or menu>”.
