    • A data processing method and system according to the present invention in which a mass storage device (DASD) of a data processing system is partitioned to include a service partition. The service partition includes the current versions of peripheral device firmware, any BIOS extensions, and device drivers. During a system boot, the boot code will compare the firmware versions of all the peripheral devices against the archived firmware versions stored in the service partition. If a mismatch is detected, the system boot will typically force an update of the peripheral device firmware to the level that is known to be good. Any such firmware updates are recorded in a log that is accessible to system management applications. Any revisions to firmware may be imaged into the service partition so that the revised version will be incorporated into the peripheral device itself during the next subsequent system boot.
    • 根据本发明的数据处理方法和系统,其中数据处理系统的大容量存储设备(DASD)被划分为包括服务分区。 服务分区包括当前版本的外围设备固件,任何BIOS扩展和设备驱动程序。 在系统引导期间,引导代码将比较存储在服务分区中的所有外围设备的固件版本与存档的固件版本。 如果检测到不匹配,系统启动通常会迫使外围设备固件的更新达到已知的良好水平。 任何此类固件更新记录在系统管理应用程序可访问的日志中。 对固件的任何修订都可以映射到服务分区中,使得修改后的版本将在后续系统引导期间被并入到外围设备本身中。
