1669.0. "NDU for OSF/1?" by KAOOSC::boivin (Moi, j'viens du nord!) Tue Nov 08 1994 14:35

Good day,

I've searched high & low in this conference to find a pointer to ndu for OSF/1.

Does such a beast exist? If yes, a pointer would be appreciated...

Thanks,

Such a beast is scheduled, though, with the ndu replacement product.
Work on it is underway.

1669.3HUBloader is slated for OSF/1NETCAD::FORINOWed Nov 09 1994 11:4017
        There is going to be a replacement application for NDU called
HUBloader.  It will have a GUI interface.  The current plan is to have
it as an integrated application with the HUBwatch V4.0 releases on 
all the platforms - Windows, VMS and OSF/1.
	On Windows it will also be available as a standalone application
before V4.0 is out.  The Windows version is almost ready for system testing
so you may see a note posted here in the near future looking for people
who may want to test it.  More details about HUBloader will be presented 
then.
        Therefore, you can consider NDU as being dead except for those
devices that can only be loaded with MOP.  OSF will never get
NDU but HUBloader instead.  This will leave a window from HUBwatch
V3.1 to V4.0 on OSF/1 platforms where there is no firmware upgrade
capability.

1669.4Hubloader = T/S update???SCCAT::MILLERWed Nov 09 1994 14:184
    Will Hubloader also update terminal server firmware (specifically
    DS900TM Flash), which, as far as I can tell, NDU can't do today?  It
    would really be nice to have just one tool to update anything that can
    be put in a hub.
1669.5Maybe in V4.0NETCAD::FORINOWed Nov 09 1994 16:568
    That is being investigated for when HUBloader goes out with HUBwatch
    V4.0.  The standalone HUBloader Windows application will not have
    support for the access servers.
    
    However, the access server folks have built a similar Windows based
    tool that they will have available.
    
    Hopefully, we can get to a common tool for V4.0.
