EtherLib EtherLib is an Ethernet network that connects Spectra LS
control modules to each other to increase communication speed. Using
EtherLib significantly reduces the time required for RCM firmware
updates.
Select the appropriate EtherLib completion option for your library's
environment. The library uses this option if the update cannot
successfully complete over EtherLib.
Figure 226 Select the appropriate EtherLib completion
strategy.
Note: EtherLib completion options are not present if the library does
not detect the EtherLib network.
If your library uses EtherLib and this option does not display,
see Library has EtherLib, but EtherLib options do not display in
Package Update on page 327.
Action
The library restarts the update, but performs it over the library's
internal communication network. This increases the amount of time
the update requires, up to 45 minutes per RCM.
If the update fails, the library does not automatically restart the update.
The BlueScale update is incomplete.
If the update fails, examine any system messages and the
Note:
package update log to determine the cause of the failure. If the library
is power‐cycled, there may be a system message that refers to an
"RCM firmware mismatch". Resolve the problems that caused the
failure and retry the update.
If the update cannot be performed using EtherLib, retry the update
using the Update RCM controllers using USB device method.
