    Hi you, (you know me, I'm the one who starts with: Good morning, good
    ...
    
    
    6 DEFBAs, all standalone, customer wants to upgrade from 1.5.2 to 1.6.1
    or better to 1.7.0.
    
    We have done it via telephone and it is running without any problem
    (test equipment!). The customer has done it the last weekend and there
    has been one problem:
    
    
    	He upgraded, but there was no response to the initial question of
    	the "loader": ... new firmware ..., ... new firmware .., ...,
    	the DEFBA/DExxx seems to be dead!
    
    Is there any help for that problem or do I have to escalate it?
    
    Many thanks in advance

| 4197.1 | Need mode detail on customer's perception of "dead"... | NETCAD::BATTERSBY | Mon Feb 03 1997 15:15 | 20 | |
|     Can you confirm with the customer what the state (present condition)
    of the "dead DEFBA" is? Does it exhibit the led behavior of a DEFBA
    trying to do a bootp (I'm presuming you know what to look for and how
    to describe this to the customer)? 
    IE: Can you get more detail from the customer what they perceive
    they mean by a "dead DEFBA"?
    The customer may have either have tried loading it with a corrupt
    binary image, or didn't wait long enough before possibly power cycling 
    it (as we have seen other customers do).
    However I suppose that if they have upgraded the other standalone
    units with good results, then the binary image is not the source of
    the problem.
    
    >>He upgraded, but there was no response to the initial question of
    >>the "loader": ... new firmware ..., ... new firmware .., ...,
    
    I'm not sure I understand what is meant by this statement. Can you
    elaborate on this?
