Verify that the fix installed correctly
  1. To use the AIX(R) or Linux(R) command prompt (the operating system must be running and the diagnostics must be available), continue with the next step.
  2. Enter the following at a command prompt:
    lsmcode
    The existing levels of server firmware are displayed. For example, you might see output similar to the following:
    The current permanent system firmware image is AT061_055.
    The current temporary system firmware image is AT061_058.
    The system is currently booted from the temporary image.
    Note:
    When the lsmcode command is run on a 7037-A50 or 7047-185 system, the temporary or permanent side of the flash might report _UNKNOWN_ for the firmware level. This occurs because there is only one level of base motherboard controller firmware. The level is _UNKNOWN_ when it is not included with the system firmware.

    When you install new firmware, it is installed onto the temporary side by default. This new firmware level includes a new level of base motherboard controller code, and will cause _UNKNOWN_ to be reported for the permanent side. This is not a problem; it indicates that the firmware levels in the flash are not a combination that is included from the factory.

    To update the firmware so that _UNKNOWN_ is not reported, perform the following steps:

    1. Perform a commit operation using the appropriate operating system command.
    2. After the commit operation is complete, restart the system.
    3. When the system has restarted and the operating system is running, rerun the lsmcode command. Both the T and P should report a level (such as AT206_061) instead of _UNKNOWN_.
  3. Verify that the level of server firmware displayed is the level that you installed.
  4. If the level of server firmware displayed is not the level that you installed, perform the following steps:
    1. Retry the update. If you created a CD or DVD for this procedure, use a new media.
    2. If the problem persists, contact your next level of support.
