IBM System p5 520 and 520Q Technical Overview and Introduction

Function 30 is one of the Extended control panel functions and is only available when Manual 
mode is selected. You can use this function to display the central electronic complex (CEC) 
Service Processor IP address and location segment. Table 2-14 shows an example of how to 
use Function 30.

Server firmware is the part of the Licensed Internal Code that enables hardware, such as the 
service processor. Depending on your service environment, you can download, install, and 
manage your server firmware fixes using different interfaces and methods, including the 
HMC, or by using functions specific to your operating system. See 3.2.4, “IBM System p5 
firmware maintenance” on page 87 for a detailed description of IBM System p5 firmware.

The service processor maintains two copies of the server firmware:

򐂰

One copy is considered the permanent or backup copy and is stored on the permanent 
side, sometimes referred to as the

 side.

򐂰

The other copy is considered the installed or temporary copy and is stored on the 
temporary side, sometimes referred to as the 

 side. We recommend that you start and run 

the server from the temporary side.

The copy actually booted from is called the

, sometimes referred to as 

.

Note: Normally, installing the server firmware fixes through the operating system is a 
nonconcurrent process. 

Note: The default value, from which the system boots, is temporary.
