Using OSM to Update SWAN CLIP

Firmware

The SWAN kernel firmware file resides on a NonStop system. During startup, this file is

downloaded to each SWAN concentrator CLIP to provide link-level protocol and a host

interface. A SWAN concentrator contains either three or six CLIPs (three CLIPs in a

SWAN, six CLIPS in a SWAN 2) and each CLIP contains one or two WAN lines.

Typically, CLIP firmware is updated when you:

•

Install a NonStop system or perform a system load update

•

Install or replace a CLIP

•

Upgrade to a newer version of firmware on the NonStop server host

In OSM, you use the Multi-Resources Action dialog box OSM to update SWAN CLIP

firmware.

Using the Multi-Resources Actions Dialog Box

The Multi-Resources Action dialog box allows you to stop, update, and start any or all

CLIPs simultaneously when updating SWAN firmware.

The Multi-Resource Actions dialog box is accessible from the Display menu.
