FEPROM Firmware Update
6.2 Updating Firmware via Ethernet
Where <circuit> is the system Ethernet circuit. Use the SHOW
KNOWN CIRCUITS command to find the name of the circuit.
Note
The SET CIRCUIT STATE OFF command will bring down the system’s
network.
3. From the tape provided, copy the file containing the updated code to
the MOM$LOAD area on the server (this procedure may require system
privileges). Refer to the
Firmware Update Utility Release Notes
for the
Ethernet bootable filename. Use the following command to copy the file:
$ COPY <filename>.SYS MOM$LOAD:*.*
Where <filename> is the Ethernet bootable filename provided in the
release notes.
4. On the client system, enter the command BOOT/100 EZ at the console
prompt (>>>).
The system then prompts you for the name of the file.
Note
Do NOT type the ‘‘.SYS’’ suffix when entering the Ethernet bootfile
name. The MOP load protocol only supports 15 character filenames.
5. After the FEPROM upgrade program is loaded, simply type "Y" at the
prompt to start the FEPROM blast. Example 6–1 provides a console
display of the FEPROM update program.
Caution
Once you enter the bootfile name, do not interrupt the FEPROM
blasting program, as this can damage the CPU module. The program
takes, at most, several minutes to complete.
Note
On systems with a VCB02 terminal, you will see an abbreviated form
of the following example.
