We have a requirement to upgrade this to V5.1B so we can get continued support.
My question is two fold.
1) Would you go for a three stage "installupdate" of a fresh install and recovery of data ?
2) How can I find a support matrix that gives me the levels of FW etc that I need to be at to get a fully supportable config ? ( It doesn't seem to be easily retrievable for old kit like this )
Cheers
Ian

Re: 4.0F to 5.1B upgrade with HSZ70
1) I would go for a fresh install of 5.1B rather than an upgrade.
2) The latest firmware (v7.3) for the ES40 is available here:
http://ftp.digital.com/pub/DEC/Alpha/firmware/index.html
To be fully supported, I guess you'll also want to be looking at changing out your HSZs for something a little newer...
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Rob

Then add your tools and databases as needed. That's where it will get tricky. If a bunch of additional products had been installed, then the upgrade route become interesting again.
fwiw,
Hein.

Re: 4.0F to 5.1B upgrade with HSZ70
Before the upgrade:
# /tcb/bin/authck -av
# /tcb/bin/edauth -d p -g > /tmp/p.auth
After the upgrade and copying /etc/passwd & /etc/group back:
# cat /tmp/p.auth | /tcb/bin/edauth -d p -s
# /tcb/bin/authck -av

I'll log a support call with HP to get the levels of firmware I need to be at for 5.1B and my ageing kit.

Re: 4.0F to 5.1B upgrade with HSZ70
This page might help...
http://h18002.www1.hp.com/alphaserver/options/ases40/ases40_ds-hsz70-ah.html
although I'm not sure whether the HSZ70 is still supported on 5.1B. If it is, then it will probably have to be upgraded to the latest version of HSOF which is V77Z-4. But as that kit is end of life, you might struggle to get hold of the required controller cards...
Cheers,
Rob

SolutionAs earlier replies have pointed out, you do need to upgrade the HSZ70 to firmware V7.7 in order to be supported on V5.1B. And I also concur that starting with a fresh install would be easier than doing three installupdates.
Hope this helps,
