431.0. "Lancp update fails with %lancp-f-devreqerr" by SNOFS2::JEYACHANDRAN () Tue Apr 08 1997 06:11

	CROSS POSTED FROM DECNET-OSI NOTES CONFERENCE.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
	ON VAX6000 running OpenVMS V7.1, I could not upgrade DEMFA F/W 
	using lancp. 
	System is running Decnet/OSI V7.1.	
	Decnduplus download worked OK.

	I tried various combinations of Decnet/OSI MOP & Lancp MOP in 
	exclusive & non-exclusive mode as per note 3269 IN DECNET-OSI.
	1. Is it a known problem in LANCP
	2. Though Decnduplus "download" was able to load the F/W correctly 
	   on this node, it genearted an error
	   message %SYSTEM-S-MSGNOTFND before it could load the image. 
	   The message file is present. Any reason for this?

This has nothing to do with firmware updates.

>>	1. Is it a known problem in LANCP

As far as I know, fw update isn't supported on VAX via LANCP.
