Updating the Runtime Code Using TFTP
Updating the Runtime Code Using TFTP
To update the runtime code using TFTP, perform the following steps:
1. Copy the runtime code file from your PC to a Himalaya NonStop server. The file
must be copied in binary mode (even though it contains ASCII data) and must be
named S01.
2. Log on to the Himalaya NonStop server with super group privileges and enter the
following commands at the TACL prompt to start a Telserv process:
PARAM TCPIP^PROCESS^NAME $tcp-ip-process
RUN $SYSTEM.ZTCPIP.TFTPSRV / NAME $TFTP, NOWAIT / $vol.subvol
$tcp-ip-process is the name of a Tandem NonStop TCP/IP process running on
the Himalaya NonStop server. (The default Tandem NonStop TCP/IP process is
named $ZTC0.) $vol.subvol is the location of the runtime code file (S01) to be
downloaded to the AWAN access server.
3. Connect a terminal or PC with a terminal emulator (Outside View is acceptable) to
the console port on the AWAN access server. (The console port is located on the
back of model 3883-8, 3883-8R, 3883-16, and 3886-16R and under the front bezel
on models 3884, 3884R, 3885, and 3885R.)
4. Set the terminal or terminal emulator to 9600 baud and 8N1(8 bits, no parity, 1 stop
bit).
5. Power on the AWAN access server.
The AWAN access server displays several startup messages, then prompts you as
follows:
Press ESC for bootblock diags...
6. Press the Esc key. If the Esc key is not pressed within 5 seconds, normal startup
continues.
7. The Bootblock Menu is displayed as shown in Figure 14-23
on page 14-28.
8. Select option 10 (for Software Update). The Software Update Menu is displayed as
shown in Figure 14-25
on page 14-29 or Figure 14-26 on page 14-29.
9. Select the TFTP Download option on the Software Update Menu.
10. Type the TFTP host IP address. This is the IP address of the Himalaya NonStop
server where you started the TFTP server process.
Note. Some 6530-compatible terminals and 6530 emulators require CTS, DSR, and DCD
signals. Older boot code versions do not assert all of these signals. If you are unable to get
a response to the Esc key in the procedure that follows, try a different terminal or terminal
emulator or use a breakout box to set the CTS, DSR, and DCD signals.
Note. Some keyboards require Control [ instead of the Esc key.
