Hi Gilbert, re: > I just did the downgrade, and I didn't even get a command prompt back. > All it said was that the Novra was not responding. I hope that just > means that the IP address reset to 191.168.0.1. Hmm... when I did both the upgrade and downgrade, I would lose connection with the Novra -- it would be like CMCS was hung. I would login into our test machine as 'ldm' in another window and run: <as 'ldm'> cmcs list There would be a pause and then the S300 would be shown as IP 192.168.0.1 when upgrading or 192.168.0.138 when downgrading. I would then change the setup for the Ethernet adapter the Novra was plugged into to be on the 192.168.0 subnet; kill the first and second 'cmcs' invocations; and then run 'cmcs' again and I would be able to login. So, the possibilities are that your S300 is: - running and just on a different subnet - in need of a power cycle reset re: > I've asked Ryan if he could, sometime next week, see if it is at > that address. Running a second 'cmcs' invocation should show you with the IP address of the S300 is _if_ it is running. re: > If not, it is truly hosed, and I am really going to be mad at > Novra. I wonder if they have been selling the faulty firmware > for quite some time now, since it was last revised in 2012. I wouldn't panic just yet. re: > Nevertheless, thank you for putting that out there on the > website. I appreciate it! No worries. I feel a bad that your downgrade did not go as smoothly as ours did! Later... Cheers, Tom -- **************************************************************************** Unidata User Support UCAR Unidata Program (303) 497-8642 P.O.
