On Tuesday of next week (8/1/95) I am going to work on a DEChub 900
configuration involving FDDI and DECswitch900-EF's. The customer is
running Hubwatch V3.1 on OpenVMS, and suggestions have been made that
his inability to configure his hub is related to firmware revisions
in the DECswitch900-EF's and other hub modules. I have not been on-site
yet, but would like to go armed with as much of the right stuff as
possible. I have pulled the HUBwatch V3.1 Release Notes and have the
minimum revision levels for the firmware, but where do I get the
firmware load files, DECndu, etc. to upgrade with ? I looked at the
pointers and see the Firmware kit for V4.0 of Hubwatch, but the next
lower firmware seems to be a V1.x. What do I really need ?
Thanks,
George

| 2555.1 | Need Hubwatch 4.0.1 | NETCAD::ROUNDS | Tue Jul 25 1995 16:53 | 3 | |
You need Hubwatch 4.0.1 and Hub Manager code 4.0.2 to manage the latest
DECswitch 900 EF firmware 1.5. HUBWATCH 4.0.1 has only been released
on OSF and DOS.

Ok, I understand the issue around HubWatch V4.0 and the latest
Consolidated Firmware kit. You have to have Hubwatch V4.0.1, available
on OSF/1 and DOS *only* to use the Consolidated Firmware kit.
**** MY problem ***
1. Customer has Hubwatch V3.1 on OpenVMS, probably does not have a
DOS system to run Hubwatch/Windows on, and doesn not have OSF/1
system.
2. Customer possibly has options that are behind in firmware upgrades
so that V3.1 doesn't deal with them too well. I don't know exact
versions since I haven't been on site.
3. Site is a 'right far piece' from a Digital office with network
capability, so I have to take the right stuff when I go the first
time. The customer and I don't have time to do this twice...
*** The BIG Question ***
If I intend to use Hubwatch V3.1 ( my only choice since V4.0 for
VMS isn't out yet), then what firmware kit do I need to take,
and since Hubloader isn't in V3.1, where can I find DECndu ?
Also does DECndu require a PAK ( yes I know this has been
covered elsewhere, but I'v become accustomed to one-stop
shopping, so I thought I'd ask here :-) )
Any help would be appreciated so I don't look foolish in front of the
customer.
Thanks in advance,
George

Okay, you can get the firmware you need from the V1.1 consolidated kit
found in the same area as mentioned in note #2 except the subdirectory
is v1_1. See the README.TXT file in the dos subdirectory for the
actual list of versions.
I don't know about DECndu or hubloader in your case.

Picked up DECndu already. Thanks for the pointer to the correct
firmware for a Hubwatch v3.1 environment.
