2689.0. "Upgrading FGl-4 with NDUplus ???" by CSC32::P_DICKERSON () Tue Aug 29 1995 13:37

    
    	Can some one please look at the following output and tell
    	me what I'm doing wrong?  I have a fe trying to upgrade
    	a FGl-4 module in a gigaswitch using NDUplus.  We can't 
    	get it to load the new firmware.  Either UCX V3.2 is not
    	working or we didn't setup DEC NDUplus correctly.  Any
    	help would be appreciated.
    
    	Phil Dickerson

    UCX set up properly?
    
    Are you able to ping the switch? If not check out notesfile
    SCHOOL::GIGASWITCH note 265.1.
    
    Once in a great while I've found DECndu+ gets hung up. If you type $STOP 
    and $EXIT in that process and retry it, it will work.

    Hi. I'm working with Phil on the problem above. Yes, we can
    ping the switch.
2689.3Pinging works...CSC32::P_DICKERSONWed Aug 30 1995 15:277
    
    	We can also do "download show device 128.250.0.1 /force=gigdescr
     	/module=6" all day long.  We have no problem talking to this
    	switch.  We just can't get it to load the firmware.
    
    	Phil D.

    ...as we discussed over the telephone, I strongly suspect that the
    problem is one of the following:

    1) Confusion amongst multiple tftp servers (only one at a time!)
    2) Resource problem on the VMS system preventing the tftp operation
    3) ...some variation of the above

        I know at various times you have had bootp and tftp services
    enabled on UCX on the VMS system.  Perhaps UCX has become confused
    about the changes.  Have you tried completely shutting down the network
    and reinstalling both UCX and NDUplus from scratch?  If you're using
    the NDUplus/tftp *don't* enable it in UCX!
    
    MDL
    
    P.S. In general, NDUplus on VMS over UCX works fine for upgrades.  I
    have upgraded FGL-4s at least 50 times this way with nary a problem.
