Power P615升级光驱微码

项目需要，得在一台P615上安装AIX 7.1，下载ISO文件刻录以后，发现装的时候要么出现各种拷贝错误，要么不能引导。。。。。。（光驱是没有问题的，用aix 6.1母盘安装aix6.1正常，但是记得用刻录的aix6.1光盘安装也是各种错误），怀疑光驱微码偏低。于是升级一下吧。

首先查看现在的版本

可以看到是NR36，去ibm网站下载相应的微码文件。

过程省略，7029-6C3对应的最新版是NR38，下载回来是rpm格式。ftp上传到主机上。下边开始升级微码，

看过程不说话。。。。。。

下载回来同时会有个readme文件，好的习惯是先读一遍readme。按要求验证一下文件大小。
