As the download begins, a "Writing data to FLASH" message displays 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-SDCM Server
link drops momentarily and the following occur at the Product Manager:
As the network connection drops, the SD-64 Status table turns yellow, the Status
field displays "No Link", and the State field displays a reason message.
The alert panel at the bottom of the navigation control panel displays a grey square,
indicating director status is unknown.
Illustrated FRUs in the Hardware View disappear, and appear again as the
connection is re-established.
After the IPL, a "Synchronizing CTPs" message displays. 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 displays.
