Updating SWAN Concentrator CLIP
Firmware
If necessary, you can update the SWAN or SWAN 2 concentrator CLIP firmware after
you have completed a system load of the new RVU. You can use either the OSM
Service Connection or TSM, depending on which one you have installed. TSM
provides a guided procedure for updating firmware for both SWAN and SWAN 2. OSM
provides a Multi-Resource Actions dialog box. If you have a SWAN or SWAN 2
concentrator connected to your NonStop S-series server, you can update CLIP
firmware in one of three ways:
•
Using the SWAN Fast Firmware Update Guided Procedure (Recommended if
Using TSM) on page C-2. (Released in the G06.13 RVU, HP recommends this
method if using TSM.) This procedure, accessed through the TSM Service
Application, automates many of the required tasks involved in updating SWAN
CLIP firmware. The guided procedure:
°
Automatically stops all CLIPs before updating the firmware
°
Updates all or a specified collection of CLIPs simultaneously
°
Restarts (optional) all CLIPs after the firmware update completes.
(The SWAN Fast Firmware Update Guided procedure essentially performs all
steps documented starting with Using the TSM Firmware Update Dialog Box to
Update SWAN Firmware on page C-8.)
•
Using the TSM Firmware Update Dialog Box to Update SWAN Firmware on
page C-8.
•
Using the OSM Multi-Resource Actions Dialog Box to Update SWAN and SWAN 2
Firmware on page C-18. If you have OSM installed and configured, you can update
SWAN and SWAN 2 CLIP firmware by using the Multi-Resource Actions dialog
box.
For troubleshooting information on SWAN or SWAN 2, see the SWAN Concentrator
and WAN Subsystem Troubleshooting Guide, Section 4.
Note. If the SWAN Fast Firmware Update Guided Procedure fails, try updating the firmware by
Using the TSM Firmware Update Dialog Box to Update SWAN Firmware on page C-8.
Caution. When using the SWAN Fast Firmware Update, T7945AAX must be resident or WAN
problems can result. T7945ABB is needed if using SWAN 2. To avoid possible path down and
post failure false dial-outs for SWAN or SWAN 2, T7953AAL, or later, is also necessary.
Note. If you have to fall back to a previous G-series RVU, do not revert back to previous
versions of SWAN CLIP firmware. If you must fall back, keep the firmware change.
