JavaStation Brick Model Clients

This section describes the availability of the Open Boot Prom (OBP) 3.11.0 software and boot image naming conventions.

Open Boot Prom 3.11.0

A new Open Boot Prom revision 3.11.0 for the JavaStation brick model client is now available.

To Update JavaStation Brick Model Clients to OBP 3.11.0

1. Be sure that all JavaStation clients boot successfully with the existing OBP software version 2.x.

2. From the Main Administration page, under "Network Services Administration" click Network Computer Server.

   The Network Computer Server Administration page is displayed.

3. Under "Basic NC Server Administration," click Modify Global Parameters.

   The Global Parameters Administration page is displayed.

4. Click OK.

   You are not required to change the existing parameters. Selecting OK updates the /var/dhcp/dhcptab file with a new macro.

5. Power cycle all JavaStation clients.

   The clients boot once and reboot after the new PROM is downloaded.

Upgrading From JavaStation Software Environment (JSE)

To upgrade from the JavaStation Software Environment (JSE 1.0.2) to Netra j 2.0, you must make the following change in the bootparams file.

Change the JavaOS directory from:

/export/root/JavaDesktop

to

/export/root/javaos/JDM1

This should not affect JavaStation fresh installations.
