If a problem occurs and a corresponding message appears, refer to the HP StorageWorks

Director 2/64 service manual for specific information on isolating the problem. If no error

occurs, the Send Firmware confirmation box appears.

7. Click Yes.

The Send Firmware dialog box appears.

As the download begins, a Writing data to FLASH message appears at the top of the

dialog box, followed by a Sending Files message. This message remains as a progress bar

travels across the dialog box to show percent completion of the download. The bar progresses to

50% when the last file is transmitted to the first CTP2 card. The bar remains at the 50% point

until the director performs an Initial Program Load (IPL) (indicated by an IPLing message).

During the IPL, the director-to-HAFM appliance link drops momentarily and the following occurs

at the Element Manager:

• As the network connection drops, the director Status table turns yellow, the Status box

displays No Link, and the State box displays a reason message.

• The alert panel at the bottom of the navigation control panel displays a gray square,

indicating director status is unknown.

• Illustrated FRUs in the Hardware View page are removed, and then displayed again as the

connection is re-established.

After the IPL, a Synchronizing CTP2s message appears. This message remains as files are

transmitted to the second CTP2 card and the progress bar travels across the dialog box to

100%. When the download reaches 100%, a Send firmware complete message

appears.

8. Click Close to close the dialog box.

9. Click Close.
