Special Install Instructions: 

----------------------------- 
BSC Firmware update requires a TFTP server to be enabled on the same
subnet as the SC being used to update the Blade.
 
1.  Setting up a TFTP server
 
1.1     To set up a TFTP server, follow the instructions on "Setting
	up a TFTP Server" in the Blade System Chassis Administration
	Guide.
 
2. Copying the BSC Firmware Files
 
2.1     Download or copy this patch to the TFTP server and place in
	a directory; e.g. /tmp
 
2.2     As root, copy the binary files from the patch directory to
	the TFTP user home directory and make the files readable
 
	% su root
 	Password:
 
	# cd /tmp/115725-02
	# cp SunFireB100s-bsc-v5.0.3.flash /tftpboot
	# chmod +r /tftpboot/SunFireB100s-bsc-v5.0.3.flash
 
3. Updating the BSC
 
3.1 Connect to the SC console
 
3.2 Update the BSC firmware application using the following command. 
 
	sc> flashupdate -f path -s IPaddress [-v] bladelist
 
	path            specifies the path and filename of the BSC
			firmware you intend to download.  
	IPaddress       address of the TFTP server on which the new
			firmware is stored.  
	bladelist       specifies the blade(s) you intend the new
			firmware to be downloaded onto.  
	-v (verbose) 	flag displays detailed screen output to enable
			you to observe the progress of the firmware
			update.
 
e.g.  sc> flashupdate -s 123.123.123.42 -f /tftpboot/SunFireB100s-bsc-v5.0.3.flash s0 s1
