For the controller to be identified and configured by AIX®, the requisite device support software must be installed. The requisite software for the controller is often preinstalled during AIX installation.
It might be necessary to perform operations related to the installation, verification, and maintenance of the AIX device software for the controller.
Software for the controller is packaged in installp format and distributed as part of the base AIX installation media, AIX update media, and through the Web-based Fix Delivery Center for AIX. This information is an overview of the AIX software support required for the controller. For complete information related to the installation and maintenance of AIX, refer to the IBM® System p® and AIX Information Center Web site.
The controller runs onboard microcode. The AIX command lsmcode can be used to determine the level of onboard microcode being used by the controller. Although a version of controller microcode might be distributed along with AIX, this does not necessarily represent the most recent version of microcode available for the controller.
