Remote ROM Flash Problems

During the remote ROM flash process, problems can occur, causing the ROM
upgrade on the target system to fail. Some of these failures may be due to user error,
while others may be due to an incorrect system configuration or a functional
hardware failure.
Be sure that you are following the necessary requirements for using the Remote
ROM flash utility, including:
•
A local administrative client system that is running the Microsoft Windows 2000,
Windows NT 3.51, or Windows NT 4.0 operating system.
•
One or more remote servers with system ROMs to be upgraded. If the local
administrative server is the only system to be flashed, remote servers are
unnecessary.
•
An administrative user account on each target system. The administrative
account must have the same username and password as the local administrative
client system.
•
All computers being connected to the same network and using protocols that
enable them to be seen from the administrative client.
•
Each target system having a system partition that is at least 32 MB in size.
