Firmware update on AIX

Usage and Config Patch
1

Team,

I am trying to update firmware from Big Fix console. when I run the task, it shows successful but when I actually check the server and it still shows old firmware version. I am trying to update firmware from SF240_403 to SF240_418.
I am following below method
Patch Management - OS Vendors - AIX Deployment Wizard - Firmware - choose .rpm file (01SF240_418_382.rpm).

when this task runs fine and end result is successful. but I don’t see firmware updated on the system.

I will appreciate if anyone has answer or solution for this.

Thank you,
Roshni Patel

Is there a way to detect the current firmware version on the command line? Or through a file? or through relevance?

How would you update the firmware by hand on the command line?

yes. “lsmcode” is the command. see below output.

lsmcode -c

The current permanent system firmware image is SF240_338
The current temporary system firmware image is SF240_403
The system is currently booted from the temporary firmware image.
