INFSRV__OpenVMS IS1000_E01A35 InfoServer Software HELP Utility V3.5 ECO Summary
NOTE: An OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file is stored
on the Internet in a self-expanding compressed file.
The name of the compressed file will be kit_name-dcx_vaxexe
for OpenVMS VAX or kit_name-dcx_axpexe for OpenVMS Alpha.
Once the file is copied to your system, it can be expanded
by typing RUN compressed_file. The resultant file will
be the OpenVMS saveset. However, this file is NOT a VMSINSTAL
saveset. The saveset will contain an image to be installed
only on a InfoServer 1000. Please see Installation Notes.

ECO KIT SUMMARY:
An ECO kit is availble for InfoServer Software V3.5. This kit
addresses the following problems:
o The help file built into the flash image for the InfoServer 1000
was truncated in the V3.5 release. When obtaining help on SHOW,
UNBIND, UNLOAD, UPDATE, VERIFY, ZERO, and some SET qualifiers,
the following message is displayed;
InfoServer> HELP SHOW
%ESS-E-NOHELPFOUND, Sorry, no documentation on SHOW
This problem has been corrected for version 3.5a.
Note: The problem is only apparent when booting from flash ROM in an
InfoServer 1000. This problem is not apparent when booting from
disk on either an InfoServer 1000 or InfoServer 150 system.
INSTALLATION NOTES:
Installation Overview
---------------------
NOTE: The file IS1000_E01A35.A is NOT a VMSINSTAL saveset.
1.) Unpack the IS1000_V35.SYS MOP loadable image and the release notes
from the backup saveset to a directory on an OpenVMS (VAX or Alpha)
system.
$BACKUP/LOG IS1000_E01A35.A/SAVE *.*
2.) Select the method to be used to load the MOP image to the
InfoServer (target) that needs the flash ROM update. The InfoServer
can either be loaded from an OpenVMS system or from another InfoServer.
The target InfoServer cannot be used to load itself. Select either
option a or b depending on which system will act as the load agent.
a. Using an OpenVMS system as a load agent.
o Make sure the system has service enabled (DECnet IV) or the
state is on (DECnet-Plus) for the appropriate circuit.
(DECnet IV: NCP> SHOW KNOWN CIRCUITS CHAR,
DECnet-Plus: ncl> SHOW MOP ALL)
o Copy the image to MOM$LOAD: giving it a unique filename that you
will be assured of loading the version you just copied over.
$COPY/LOG IS1000_V35.SYS MOM$LOAD:V35A.SYS
b. Using another InfoServer as the load agent.
o Create a 1064 block partition on the InfoServer hard drive. Make
the partition MOP ENABLED. This example uses hard disk DK1:. Your
InfoServer mop load agent might use a different disk name.
InfoServer> CREATE PARTITION DK1:V35A BLOCKS 1064 MOP ENABLED
o Make sure the InfoServer itself is MOP enabled using the SHOW
SERVER command. The "Enabled characteristics:" category should
say "MOP downline loading (V3)".
o Create an ODS-2 service for the partition, write-enabled.
InfoServer> CREATE SERVICE V35A DK1:V35A
o From VMS, bind the service and MOUNT/FOREIGN
$MCR ESS$LADCP
LADCP> BIND/WRITE V35A
LADCP> EXIT
$MOUNT/FOREIGN DAD$V35A
o COPY IS1000_V35.SYS to the DAD$V35A: logical device.
$COPY/LOG IS1000_V35.SYS DAD$V35A:
o Dismount and unload the DAD$V35: logical device.
$DISMOUNT/UNLOAD DAD$V35:
3.) Press the break key on the InfoServer 1000 console to get to the console
(>>>) prompt. If the break key does not halt the system, disconnect
the network from the AUI or BNC connector on the back of the
InfoServer and power cycle the system. Once the (>>>) prompt appears,
reconnect the network connection.
4.) Boot the InfoServer target system using the following command.
>>> BOOT/100 ESA0:
5.) Enter the name of the MOP partition if using another InfoServer
as the load agent or the first part of the filename (not including
the ".sys" file type) when using an OpenVMS system as the load agent
at the "Bootfile:" prompt.
Bootfile: V35A
6.) After a short period of time, the InfoServer should display the
messages below. Respond to the "Do you really want to continue
[Y/N] ? :" prompt with a "Y" and indicating you wish to
change the current ROM image. Once you respond with a "Y", do not
interrupt the burn. An interruption at this point could make the
flash unusable.
