In preparation for a transition from DU 4.0D to 5.1A by a "new" install, I
want to do the necessary firmware upgrade but have some concerns.
1) According to the release notes in the final AS1000 4/2xx firmware
release (V5.4), the minimum OS version for this release of V5.4 is DU
4.0D. The minimum OS version for firmware AS1000 4/2xx release V5.3 is DU4.0D.
2) For Tru64 5.1A on the AS1000 4/2xx, the minimum firmware version should
be V5.4.
I was under the impression that firmware releases were backwards compatible
and would like to install V5.4 while running DU4.0D for a few days before
"upgrading" to 5.1A. Would there really be any compatibility problems or
were the constraints listed above due validation and support issues?
Thanks,
Vic Summerour
