+.TH UPDATE_FLASH_NV 8 "8 May 2013" Linux "PowerLinux Service Tools"
+.SH NAME
+update_flash_nv \- manage system and service processor firmware
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+\fB/usr/sbin/update_flash_nv \fR[\fB-v|-n\fR] \fB-f \fIfirmware.img
+.B /usr/sbin/update_flash_nv -h
+.B /usr/sbin/update_flash_nv -c
+.B /usr/sbin/update_flash_nv -r
+.B /usr/sbin/update_flash_nv -s
+.B /usr/sbin/update_flash_nv -d
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.P
+The
+.I update_flash_nv
+script is used to validate, update and manage firmware on an IBM Power
+Systems servers.
+.TP
+.nf
+.B VALIDATION
+.fi
+When used with the
+.B -v
+option, the script will ONLY perform validation of the image file. Regardless
+of the outcome of the validation, no actual flash will occur. This option is
+only useful on machines that support validation of firmware images.
+.TP
+.nf
+.B UPDATE
+.fi
+When used with only the
+.B -f
+option and an image file name, the script will attempt to update the system
+firmware with the given image. If the machine has the ability to pre-validate
+the image, this will be done automatically before the flash. If the machine
+is not capable of pre-validation, or if validation passes, this script will
+upload the firmware image into the kernel and will perform a
+.B shutdown -r now
+which will reboot the system. The flash will occur at the end of the reboot
+process.
+
+.B WARNING:
+The system WILL be rebooted! Wait until the flash process has completed. This
+can be anywhere from 2 minutes to 20 minutes (or more) depending on the system.
+The control panel display will show that the system is flashing. Failure to
+wait may render a system inoperable.
+
+.B NOTE:
+If machine supports two firmware image areas, update is always applied to the
+temporary image area. The
+.B -c
+option is the normal means by which a temporary image is committed to the
+permanent side (see MANAGEMENT). However, if a platform is running from a
+temporary image when an update is to be applied, then the platform may
+automatically commit the current temporary image to the permanent side to
+allow the new image to be updated to the temporary image area. The
+.B -v
+option can be used to determine what would result from an attempt to update
+a flash image.
+
+The
+.B -n
+option will prevent the automatic overwrite of the permanent image area
+and abandon the update entirely.
+
+To apply an update to the temporary image area without overwriting the
+permanent image area, the system must first be running with the permanent
+image. The temporary image can then be rejected (see MANAGEMENT).
+Subsequently, the update can be applied.
+.TP
+.nf
+.B MANAGEMENT
+.fi
+When used with the
+.B -c
+option, the script will commit the temporary image to the permanent side.
+In order to use this, the machine must be running on the temporary image.
+This option is only useful on machines supporting two firmware image areas.
+
+When used with the
+.B -r
+option, the script will reject the temporary image. In order to use this,
+the machine must be running on the permanent image. To switch from the
+temporary image to the permanent image, you must reboot from the permanent
+image -- for example, using the ASMI or HMC. This option is only useful on
+machines supporting two firmware image areas.
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B \-h
+Print the usage message and exit.
+.TP
+\fB\-f \fIfilename
+Supply the filename to flash (required).
+.TP
+.B \-v
+Validate ONLY with specified image file.
+.TP
+.B \-n
+Do not overwrite permanent side image automatically.
+.TP
+.B \-c
+Commit temporary image to permanent side.
+.TP
+.B \-r
+Reject temporary image.
+.TP
+.B \-s
+Determine if partition has access to perform flash image management.
+.TP
+.B \-d
+Display current firmware version.
+
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.P
+To determine if partition has authority to flash image:
+
+# update_flash_nv -s
+
+.P
+For a typical firmware update (this may commit temporary to permanent):
+
+# update_flash_nv -f 01AL740_100_042.img
+
+.P
+To update only if permanent side will not be overwritten:
+
+# update_flash_nv -n -f 01AL740_100_042.img
+
+.P
+To validate an image:
+
+# update_flash_nv -v -f 01AL740_100_042.img
+
+.P
+To commit temporary image to permanent (note that the system
+must be running on temporary image):
+
+# update_flash_nv -c
+
+.P
+To reject temporary image, and copy to permanent to temporary
+(note that the system must be running on permanent image):
+
+# update_flash_nv -r
+
+.SH EXIT STATUS
+.TP
+.nf
+All cases:
+ 3 - Usage error
+ 4 - Permission error
+ 6 - Unexpected problem with /proc filesystem access
+ 7 - Error loading module
+ 8 - RTAS(pSeries)/OPAL(PowerNV) call failed
+ 9 - User aborted operation
+.fi
+.TP
+.nf
+Determine if partition has authority to manage image (-s):
+ 0 - Flash image management is supported
+ 1 - Flash image management is not supported on this system
+.fi
+.TP
+.nf
+Validation (-v):
+ 0 - Validation successful
+.fi
+.TP
+.nf
+Update ([-n] -f):
+ 5 - Image file error
+10 - Auto overwrite permanent side image
+15 - Update Access Key Expired
+.fi
+.TP

+Manage (-c|-r):
+ 0 - Temporary image commit/reject successful

+.SH NOTES
+Firmware may be downloaded from the IBM website. Instructions for
+downloading and installing the firmware image are also there, and
+information there will be more up-to-date than this page.
+
+.P
+Various conditions can lead to a firmware update failure. If you
+receive an authentication-related error, such as:
+.P
+.nf
+update_flash: RTAS: validate() Partition does not have authority
+-or-
+update_flash: System does not have authority to perform firmware update.
+.fi
+.P
+This can reflect either 1) That the permission is not set (correctable
+through the ASM interface, System -> Firmware Update Policy, or through an
+HMC if attached.
+.P
+-or-
+.P
+2) Firmware still believes an HMC is attached. This can be corrected by
+following the steps outlined here:
+.P
+http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/powersys/v3r1m5/index.jsp?topic=/p7hatl/iphblresetserverp6.htm
+
+.P
+For older "AIX format" images, the file will have a .BIN extension. This
+zip file happens to be an AIX binary, but it can be extracted with the
+unzip command (with password from the web page):
+
+ unzip 70286C4F.BIN
+
+This should produce a file with a .img extension. This image file is what
+should be flashed.
