Hi, this weekend I wanted to update our Alphaserver 1000A-4/266 from
TRu64 V4.0 to V4.0F.
During the firmware update with the V5.5 CD the SRM-update failed.
An extract of the output follows:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
.....
DO NOT ABORT!
ARC Updating to v4.58... Verifying v4.58... PASSED.
SRM open failure firmware filename 'srm_fw'
pkd0 Updating to A11... Verifying A11... PASSED.
UPD> verify
ARC Verifying v4.58... PASSED.
SRM open failure firmware filename 'srm_fw'
pkd0 Verifying A11... PASSED.

SRM v4.6-224 srm_fw Missing file
pkd0 A11 kzpsa_fw A11
ccmab_fw 22
dfeaa_fw 1.3
dfeab_fw 3.10
dfxaa_fw 3.10
...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then I decided to use the V5.3 CD but I got the same message.
Now the console shows:
------------------------------------------------------------
...

14:57:24 ARC Console: v4.57

-------------------------------------------------------------
After this I decided only to upgrade to V4.0E of Tru64 and till now
everythings runs fine.
But of course I want to do a correct firmware upgrade.
Any hints??
