Handling Conflicts In Profile Names; Upgrading Cims - Raritan Dominion KSX II User Manual

Upgrading CIMs

As noted, you may delete a custom profile from the system while it is still
designated as an active profile. Doing so will terminate any virtual media
sessions that were in place.

Handling Conflicts in Profile Names

A naming conflict between custom and standard USB profiles may occur
when a firmware upgrade is performed. This may occur if a custom
profile that has been created and incorporated into the list of standard
profiles has the same name as a new USB profile that is downloaded as
part of the firmware upgrade.
Should this occur, the preexisting custom profile will be tagged as 'old_'.
For example, if a custom profile called GenericUSBProfile5 has been
created and a profile with the same name is downloaded during a
firmware upgrade, the existing file will then be called
'old_GenericUSBProfile5'.
You can delete the existing profile if needed. See
Management (on page 234) for more information.
Use this procedure to upgrade CIMs using the firmware versions stored
in the memory of your KSX II device. In general, all CIMs are upgraded
when you upgrade the device firmware using the Firmware Upgrade
page.
In order to make use of USB profiles, you must use a digital CIM,
D2CIM-VUSB or D2CIM-DVUSB with updated firmware. A VM-CIM that
has not had its firmware upgraded will support a broad range of
configurations (Windows
Device) but will not be able to make use of profiles optimized for
particular target configurations. Given this, existing VM-CIMs should be
upgraded with the latest firmware in order to access USB profiles. Until
existing VM-CIMs are upgraded, they will be able to provide functionality
equivalent to the 'Generic' profile.
To upgrade CIMs using the KSX II memory:
1. Choose Maintenance > CIM Firmware Upgrade. The CIM Upgrade
from page opens.
The Port (number), Name, Type, Current CIM Version, and Upgrade
CIM Version are displayed for easy identification of the CIMs.
2. Check the Selected checkbox for each CIM you want to upgrade.
3. Click Upgrade. You are prompted to confirm the upgrade.
4. Click OK to continue the upgrade. Progress bars are displayed
during the upgrade. Upgrading takes approximately 2 minutes or less
per CIM.
