Changing the DHCP, DNS, or BOOTP Server from CLIMs to System Consoles

NOTE: While it is important that all processors in the system are running the same version
of HSS firmware, upgrading HSS firmware on the system can have repercussions on the system
firmware. Before upgrading HSS firmware on the system, be sure to check valid system firmware
and HSS combinations for your system type in the NonStop Firmware Matrices document to
ensure that you are not creating an incompatibility between system and HSS firmware.
2. Whether or not you updated or copied HSS files in Step 1, check the C:\Images directory on
the system console to make sure there is an HSS file for each NonStop system on the
maintenance LAN in the form NBsystem serial number.efi.
NOTE: To determine the serial number for a system, you can log on to the OSM Low-Level
Link and check the System Serial Number attribute, located under the System object.
If no such file exists for one or more applicable NonStop systems – or, if you did not use one
of the Low-Level Link actions and are not sure whether the firmware files in the C:\Images
directory are of the desired HSS version – log on to each of those systems in turn with the
OSM Low-Level and use the Copy HSS Files action to create an HSS file of the appropriate
version for each system. Only after you have verified that for each NonStop system configured
on the maintenance LAN there is a corresponding HSS firmware in C:\Images named NB
system serial number.efi should you invoke the NonStop Maintenance LAN DHCP DNS
Configuration Wizard to disable BOOTP and DHCP server functionality on the CLIMs.
