129.0. "DENMA_LOAD.SYS failed" by ZUR01::SCHNEIDERR () Tue Jan 19 1993 07:19

Hello,

I loaded the new DENMA_LOAD.SYS with the "CCI> load denma_load.sys" command. I
did it, to load the newews DENMAX_63.SYS firmware. After I loaded the first file,
the DECagent didn't start. The LEDs are:

DC OK	on
Self Test and Backbone Port are flashing together all ca 5 seconds. I cant load
the second file with the "NCP> Load node" command.

Is the DENMA_LOAD.SYS file not o.k.? Could you point me to the original LOAD file,
that hopefully works.


Thanks Roland

129.1	DEMNA V1.0 location	BIKINI::KRAUSE	European NewProductEngineer for MCC	`Thu Jan 21 1993 08:30`	7
	Roland, you'll find the DENMA V1.0 software on BIKINI::MCC_DISK:[HUB90.AGENT] along with installation instructions. This should at least get you back on-line. *Robert
129.2	We have instructions!	KALI::GAUDET		`Mon Jan 25 1993 12:38`	8
	Roland, check out the file DENMA_LOAD_PROCEDURE.TXT in the DIRT::DENMA$FT area. There are instructions on how to load the image loader, then load the software image from NCP. For everyone's information, check out $$WHAT_ARE_THESE_FILES.READ_ME in the above directory for a brief description of what each file is. ...Roger...
129.3	it doesn't work	ZUR01::SCHNEIDERR		`Tue Feb 02 1993 10:31`	10
	Now I had time to test the new stuff. But it doesn't work. The load of the LOADER works and the LEDs come on, the LED closest to the Consol plug flashes. But after the load from the NCP, doesnt work. The agent is quiet and the NCP shows me a timeout. Sorry, Roland BTW now I loaded the DENMAV1_0.EXE from Robert, via the CCI.
129.4	Things to check...	HADRES::KRAUSE	European NewProductEngineer for MCC	`Wed Feb 03 1993 12:08`	15
	Sorry Roland, but from your description it's not clear to me what happened. Did you say that the 'load' from the CCI> prompt completed successfully? That's good. Now, did you start the software ('start 200000') or power the module off and on to do so? If yes it should work now - at least it did for me. You mentioned NCP. Did you try 'NCP CONNECT NODE' and got a timeout? Doesn't surprise me, since to my knowledge the DENMA doesn't implement MOP/RC. You could try SNMP requests, that should work. But only after you configured the DENMA via directly attached terminal with an IP address. Regards, *Robert
129.5	It works	ZUR01::SCHNEIDERR		`Thu Feb 04 1993 05:10`	8
	Robert, Thanks for answering. Yesterday it worked. Roger gave me some tips (thanks). The load command from NCP doesn't work. You have to use the trigger. The load command from CCI works fine. Now the DENMA_LOAD_PROCEDURE.TXT on node DIRT::DENMA$FT is o.k. regards roland
