Display/Download Disk Drive Microcode Service Aid
The Display/Download Disk Drive Microcode service aid allows you to:
v Display the level of microcode that is installed on all available disk drives.
v Change the level of microcode, for a specific available disk drive, to any level that is
available in the using-system microcode directory or on diskette.
v Change the level of microcode, for all available disk drives, to the latest level that is
available in the using-system microcode directory or on diskette.
Attention: Usually, you can download the microcode to disk drives that are in use. By
doing so, however, you might cause a temporary delay in the operating system or in the
user’s application program. Do not download microcode to a disk drive that is in
use, unless you have the user’s permission. Always refer to the download
instructions that are supplied with the microcode, and check for any special
restrictions that might be applicable. If you are not sure, do not download to disk
drives that are in use.
When you download new microcode to a disk drive, the new level of microcode is not
shown by the Display the Microcode Levels option until the disk drives have been
reconfigured. Run the cfgmgr command before you verify that the new level of
microcode is correctly installed.
