Backing Up The Director's Configuration - HP StorageWorks Director 2/140 Installation Manual

If a problem occurs and a corresponding message appears, refer to the HP StorageWorks
Director 2/140 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 CTP 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 CTPs message appears. This message remains as files are
transmitted to the second CTP 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.
