Dear group, thanks to all who responded so quickly and came with 5
solutions!
1) Unplug the networkcable and update from CD
2) Make a bootflop and update from there
3) Go into the ARC-console and upgrade from there from CD
4) exit and reboot from CD again
5) do separate updates
Update ARC
Update SRM
Laurie Zirkle came with the following explanation:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Turn off networking at the console mode or unplug your machine from the
network
before doing the firmware upgrade. Re-attach once done. For some
reason, it tries
to get that particular file from the network even if you are installing
from a CD or
floppy. It's not documented anywhere I could get my hands on (and I
read Release
Notes, etc. before doing this stuff). I had Compaq here and they
finally figured it
out be escalating it to an engineer.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Saturdaymorning I upgraded from bootflop and everything worked well!!
The original problem was that the firmwareupgrade for the AS1000A failed
with:
ARC Updating to v4.58... Verifying v4.58... PASSED.
SRM open failure firmware filename 'srm_fw'
pkd0 Updating to A11... Verifying A11... PASSED.
Thanks again,
Kees Bol
