Activation and Deactivation Prerequisites
The following prerequisites must be met for a package to be activated or deactivated.
• Initial activation of any package must always be performed for the default set of supported card
types.
• If a ROM monitor upgrade is required for the software package, the upgrade must be completed
before the package is activated. For ROM monitor upgrade information and procedures, refer to
Appendix B, “Upgrading and Downgrading ROM Monitor Software.”
• Although more than one version of a software package can be added to a storage device, only one
version of a package can be active for any card.
• The package must be compatible with the card for which it is being activated.
• Some packages require the activation or deactivation of other packages.
• The package being activated must be compatible with the current active software set.
• While a software package is being activated, other requests are not allowed to execute on the system.
Each installation request is assigned a requestID, which can be used later to review the events.
Package activation is complete when the following message is displayed:
Install 1: Activation operation successful.
Activation is performed only after the package compatibility checks have passed. If a conflict is found,
an on-screen error message is displayed.
