I am about to upgrade my customer's many DECbridge 900MX (aka 900EF)
to the current version of firmware v1.4.0. My customer is running
HUBwatch for OPenVMS VAX v3.0. Will Hubwatch recognize and properly
manage the 900MX with V1.4.0 firmware. My customer is planning to
upgrade to the HUBwatch for OpenVMS v3.1 when it is officially
released.
Also are there any other interdependicies between firmware levels
such as does a V1.4.0 900MX bridge in a v3.0.0 900MS Backplane
work or does the 900MS firmware level have to be V3.1.0
Any help would be appreciated

Charlie, there should be no problem. You should be able to
upgrade those bridges (er...switches for those into the latest
marketing jargon), to V1.4.0 and be able to manage them in the
HUBs your customer is currently running at V3.0.
The only other requirement is a hardware requirement that the
minimum hardware revision level of the bridges (switches), to
support the feature of this release is:
DECbridge 900MX Hardware version V0/1 (as seen in the console
menu 3).
This is noted as such in the release notes for V1.4.0

| 1555.2 | A little clearer statement on rev levels | NETCAD::BATTERSBY | Wed Oct 12 1994 10:56 | 11 | |
Ahh let me be a little clearer on revs
For V1.4.0 bridge firmware upgrade and ability to manage the
bridges....must have:
- V3.0 or higher of HUBwatch software
- V3.1 or higher of DEChub 900 Multiswitch formware
As stated in DECbridge 900MX Release notes for V1.4.0
