4.3Restrictions When Running KZPSA Utilities

You must use V1.4 of the KZPSA Firmware Update Utility (FWUPDATE.EXE) if you wish to use it rather than LFU to update your KZPSA firmware. Note: running earlier versions of the KZPSA FWUPDATE.EXE utility will corrupt the NVRAM on your KZPSA and disable the module and your system!

Restrictions also exist if using the KZPSA CNFGDIAG.EXE utility. For one, you must use version V1.5 or greater on an AlphaServer 4100 system. The following release notes apply to V1.5 of the CNFGDIAG.EXE utility:

Table 4–1 KZPSA CNFGDIAG.EXE (V1.5) Issues/Bugs With SCSI

Options

Reset SCSI Bus

The bus will be reset, but an error message will be displayed

 

after a timeout of about 1 minute on any subsequent reset

 

attempts.

List devices

If the KZPSA SCSI ID is 15, the screen will clear rather than

 

wait for ’any key’.
