Change Management
Change Management enables you to manipulate the 2216 level of software code
that will run on the 2216 (Appendix D, “Managing Operational Code and
Configuration Files” on page D-1 has additional information about change
management.
Xmodem Software Selection
The Xmodem protocol is supported only from the “System Management Services”
menu. To access the “System Management Services” menu, you have to either
interrupt the boot-up sequence or bring up the IBM 2216 in Attended mode. The
Change Management command is available from the “System Management
Utilities” option of the Main Menu. From that point, the IBM 2216 will direct you as
to what to transfer in and where to put the image.
Notes:
1. When the IBM 2216 is in firmware mode, there is no active configuration or
image. Therefore, you should use caution when specifying where to write new
images or configurations.
2. When using Xmodem to transfer a multiple load module image (used in
Release 2 in the form of several files ending in .ld), you must transfer each of
the modules (.ld files) one by one to get the entire load module image.
When an entire load image has transferred, the status of the bank will change
from CORRUPT to AVAIL. Transfer file LML.ld first. Unless you see an
information message
ERROR WRITING FILE appear, assume each individual
transfer has been successful.
When you are finished with file transfer, select List software on the Change
Management menu. The status will have changed to AVAIL for that bank that has
the new load image.
The following sample menus are associated with Xmodem download. These
menus show the text that is displayed when you choose Change Management.
