Dear Tru-64 managers:
I have questions questions regarding firmware upgrades---
The firmware upgrade information I've been able to find is:
ftp://ftp.digital.com/pub/Digital/Alpha/firmware/readmes/v5.7/doc/alpha2100_
v53_fw_relnote.pdf
I believe Section B.6 is what I'm looking for because I upgraded my server from a 4/xxx to a 5/300.
I am running RAID, but until I can get the funds for several discs, I'll set it to RAID level 0.
Present setup also has: UNIX V4.0, Firmware CD release V3.6
In Section B.7, the revision matrix starts with CD V3.6 and ends with V4.0:
V3.6(May-96)
V4.6A(Oct-96)
V3.8(Dec-96)
V4.0(Aug-97) With UNIX 4.0B
Question-1:
Do I presume that I have to do firmware changes progressively through each Version?
Question-2:
Why the brief change to V4.6A--Is that a Typo rather than V3.6A?
Question-3:
I know DEC UNIX went through V4.0a. Then do I presume that I can go directly to V3.8 using UNIX V4.0, then change to V4.0B with firmware V4.0?
Question-4:
Why no later firmware updates after V4.0?
Question-5 :
What if I do a clean install to Tru64 UNIX 4.0D?,
can I go directly to the latest firmware release for that version (from current v3.6 to v5.4) without any snags?
Thanks in advance for your responses!
Regards,
-CK
