1513.0. "3.1 firmware update" by CSC32::MAULUCCI () Mon Oct 03 1994 15:10

    I am working with a customer that is trying to upgrade their DH900
    firmware from V2.2.1 to V3.1.0. They are using DECndu Plus v1.0 and it
    seems to hang after starting the tftp server, customer has left it in
    this state for as long as 3 1/2 hours. He can ping the DH900 using it's
    inband ip address, and says that the DECndu software is able to
    determine which version of the firmware is currently on the DH900.
    Customer believes that I/O is occuring during the "hang". 
    I have incuded the commands used as well as the display on the screen
    up to the point of the hang, any suggestions would be appreciated.
    We have tried the string with and without the /password, there was no
    response without the password.

* What version of VMS?

* Is the UCX TFTP server disabled?

* Does the command line you specified really have forward slashes ("/")
encompassing the target IP address?  (e.g. /134.193.10.199/)  If so, that's an
improper syntax for the command line.

* It looks like UCX is not setup properly since the load host IP address is
being set to 0.0.0.0.  Check for the logical UCX$INET_HOSTADDR at the DCL prompt.

    Thanks for the reply Roger (-.1)
    
    The customer is running 5.5-2 OVMS, they are using "Multinet" rather
    than "UCX". We have defaulted the dh900 and re-entered the IP address.
    The DECndu utility can communicate with the hub as it displays the hubs
    current firmware version as shown below:

1513.3You need the "other" version of NDUROGER::GAUDETBecause the Earth is 2/3 waterMon Oct 10 1994 16:298
Your customer needs the version of DECndu Plus that was built for OpenVMS VAX
V5.5 and later.  According to the developer, the version from the SSB was never
tested to run with TGV Multinet.  He says the above version should do so.  You
can pick up this version on the network at
