Re: Firmware
Although I'm not completely sure, I don't see that this can be problematic.
The booklet accompanying the firmware CD, always talks about "minimal acceptable FW".
In case of V6.2-1H3, the minimal FW should be on CD V3.6.

SolutionIt shouldn't be a problem. Later versions just add new stuff and fix bugs, they don't take away old stuff.
If you're paranoid, just make sure you've got a firmware disk for the version you have that's working. Any sign of trouble, just revert to the known good version.

Re: Firmware
Sorry, I hit the submit button too soon.
The booklet also states that
Later versions of firmware are supported with earlier versions of operating systems.
So, if any problem arises, you still can contact HP, and let them fix it :-;

That's nice. But I meant that the minimum FW for the combination V6.2-1H3 & AlphaServer 1000, is on the CD marked V3.6.
It could well be that on that CD, the FW version for an AlphaServer 1000is 3.0.

Re: Firmware
Once I had an issue with a AS1000A 5/400 on which I upgraded the firmware and it would not boot. I think it was running VMS V7.1. I discovered that if I installed the current patches for that VMS version then it did boot.
Purely Personal Opinion

Re: Firmware
http://ftp.digital.com/pub/DEC/Alpha/firmware/readmes/archive/as1000.html#method_2
but now I get failed to open dva0.0.0.0.1
I power cycled the server (first time since 1995 I think) : no change.
What's wrong ?

Re: Firmware
Minimum VMS version for firmware 5.4 is 7.2 !!!
So, not supported to use it with 6.2 1h3.
