Some of our servers have BIOS's that are out of date. Time for an update

xen13 xen14 xen15 are done and up to date (xen13 already was)
xen14 and 15 need to be rebooted. Something I believe is already scheduled.

Ok, I believe I've got all the IBM's updated. I'll re-check after the scheduled reboot on Thursday.

Hey, did this get completed?
How is the list generated? Looking at mgmt consoles?
I'd like to go though and check them all again.
I created it via lshal. I will see if can get it again.
Is there anything I can help here? I'm familiar with such operations in prod systems.

We should look at generating a new list soon so we could do updates when we have Dennis on site next week.
If we can generate a list, perhaps ericlee could find the needed downloads for the newer firmware?
Shall we generate a new list and see where we stand here?
Looks like we should have everything in phx2 updated that we can. ;)
Closing.
