2970.0. "DECconcentrator 900MX upgrade failed" by DECPRG::KUPKA () Mon Nov 13 1995 08:04

    During the upgrade of several hubs. concentrators, switches,.. from
    version 3.1 to 4.1 with HUBloader on concentrator failed. The load was
    done via MAM and after succesful download (as HUBloader sad) the modul
    was displayed as SW=unknown. The hub display shows concentrator as
    "programloadneeded".
    I know from this conference, that i.e. DECswitch 900EF can be loaded
    via port 2 from the BOOTP server.
    
    Do I have the same posibility with DECconcentrator 900MX? 
    
    Thanks,
    Tomas

    Okay, just try the MAM assisted load again. It will take a minimum of 
    9 minutes to complete.  Make sure you wait long enough for the whole 
    process to complete. Once the firmware is loaded to the MAM it must
    then send it to the concentrator as a second step. Maybe hubloader was
    saying the the first part was done.

    Hmmm. If I have got a message FILE_WRITEN_TO_LINE_CARD during the
    device pool, I would expect everything was written. The messages on the
    hub display say something like loading, assisted load finished, status
    unknown (device reset) and than needprogramload.
    
    Anyway, thanks. We swapped the module.

    Hmmm.. Sounds like you did the right thing. Could be the flash was bad.
