Hi all,

I just posted this and forgot to add the latest update to my response to
SIB '04 item #4.
So here is just that portion below.

4. "Enable FWSCSI card firmware level reporting and update immediately.
ODE/MAPPER doesn't show the firmware level on FWSCSI and MFIO cards.
This needs to be fixed. The suplicen password for FWSCSIPB in SYSDIAG or
STM is needed to get the level information and update the firmware, if
needed. A new procedure needs to be supplied for all users, regardless
of HP support status, to update the firmware, downloaded from the ITRC,
on an MPE/iX machine."

Status: Partial implementation: we plan on providing a privileged
program which reports the firmware information. The updating aspect of
this item will be addressed as part of our business decision-making.

UPDATE: we have created a tool to report this firmware information. This
tool is available on Jazz at: http://jazz.external.hp.com/src/ (scroll
down to the FWSCSI link), and may later be distributed in the TELESUP
account. It only reports firmware revisions for NIO F/W SCSI, thus it is
not intended for A- and N-class systems.  Recommended firmware 3728 or
3944, contact your support provider for updates.  Below is a sample
output:

        NIO Fast/Wide SCSI device adapter card firmware versions:

        Path           Device            Active Inactive
        10/16/4        HP28696A           3728    3543
        10/16/12       HP28696A           3728    3543
