1.4 Possible Problem Upgrading Firmware on AlphaServer
4100 Systems for V7.2-EFT3
If you are using an AlphaServer 4100 system to field test
OpenVMS Galaxy or Version 7.2-EFT3, you should be aware
of a possible problem with upgrading the firmware.
When upgrading from any pre-V5.2 firmware to the AS4_
G52-59 firmware file, the system may hang or output a
dump of the "Active Call Frames".
If this happens, do the following:
1. Power-cycle the system.
2. Upgrade to Alpha Systems Firmware Update Version 5.2
in the Version 7.2-EFT3 CD-ROM kit.
3. Then upgrade from Alpha Systems Firmware Update
Version 5.2 to AS4_G52-59.
Note that the AS4_G52-59 firmware file is in the
OpenVMS Galaxy firmware kit (GALAXY_FIRM_
072.KIT) on the OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.2-EFT3
CD-ROM 2.
If you have any questions with this procedure, please get in
touch with your V7.2-EFT3 engineering directed field test
site contact. The problem will be corrected in the final release
of OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.2.
