Compaq LCM ROM Flash Utilities To assist the system administrator with flashing the system ROM BIOS and setting the Setup Password while running Altiris eXpress, the following utilities have been developed. The Setup Password controls access to F10 Computer Setup, controls ROM Flashing, and can be used to override the Power-On Password. A Setup Password is also required on each target Deskpro prior to using the Remote ROM Flash (no relation to ROM Flash below) or Remote Security Management. 1) ROM Flash (flshlite.exe, flsh.cpu) is the Altiris eXpress compatible version of the ROMPAQ system ROM flash utility. ROM Flash is a scaled down version of ROMPAQ that is compatible with the limited DOS memory available and the protected mode environment that may exist while running Altiris eXpress. Flsh.cpu is the driver for flshlite.exe. ROM Flash requires iteratively compressed image files to work properly under Altiris eXpress. These image files will be supplied with normal ROMPAQ releases for systems that support ROM Flash. ROM Flash is only compatible with recent system ROMs. ROM Flash will report that it is not compatible with the system if the ROM does not support it. The command line for ROM Flash is as follows: flshlite.exe /l:us /f flsh.cpu default Additionally, the administrator can now also flash a different language into the portion of the ROM that the user sees when using F10 Setup. A Language Module option allows the user to select the languages: Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, or Swedish. Note: The user sees the chosen language only in F10 Setup, not in the operating system. The command line for ROM Language Flash is as follows: flshlite.exe /l:XX /f lang.opt default Substitite the two letter designator in place of "XX" for the chosen language. DK - Danish FI - Finnish FR - French GR - German IT - Italian NL - Dutch NO - Norwegian PT - Portuguese SE - Swedish SP - Spanish ROM Flash can flash a Deskpro ROM BIOS without requiring the administrator to enter a Setup Password. Remote ROM Flash, another utility from Compaq that will flash a Deskpro ROM over the network, requires a Setup Password exist on the target Deskpro and requires a Setup Password accompany the ROM image to that Deskpro. This is done to verify that the administrator is flashing the ROM not an unauthorized person. Since Altiris eXpress controls who is allowed to configure the system and download a new ROM image, the extra password is not necessary for ROM Flash. 2) Set Password (set_pw.exe) is a utility for system administrators that will initially set Deskpro's Setup Password through Altiris eXpress as the administrator configures the system. For this utility to function properly, a password must be assigned to it(see Assign Password below). Then, set_pw.exe can set the password on each system one time only; Remote Security Management or F-10 Computer Setup must be used to change the Setup Password after it has been set with Set Password. 3) Assign Password (assignpw.exe) is the utility used to attach a Setup Password to the Set Password utility. In an LCM environment, the user of the client machine will not know the Setup Password and the system administrator will not be present to enter a password. Therefore the Set Password utility must 'know' the Setup Password. The Assign Password utility will 'assign' a Setup Password to the Set Password program so that the correct value is set on the target Deskpro. A password must be assigned to the Set Password utility before it can be used. Assign Password can also be used with ROM Flash if a Setup Password has been previously set on the target Deskpro. Ordinarily, ROM Flash would be used with LCM when the Deskpro is being configured for the first time. In this case, it is likely that a Setup Password would not be set so ROM Flash would not need to include one. However, if a Setup Password is set on the target Deskpro, then ROM Flash will require password verification before allowing a ROM Flash. Assign Password can be used here to affix a password to ROM Flash. Password assignment must be done at the Altiris eXpress server. The Setup passwords assigned to ROM Flash and to the Set Password utility must match. Likewise, if a Setup Password has been assigned to ROM Flash, then that password must be set on each client machine before ROM Flash can be used to upgrade the system ROM. To assign a password to set_pw.exe, change directories to the directory that contains set_pw.exe and type "assignpw set_pw.exe". You will be prompted to type in the password. Press RETURN after you have typed in the password. You may use the BACKSPACE key to correct mistakes. You will then be prompted to confirm the password that you just entered. Pressing ENTER before any password keys have been typed in will unassign the previously assigned password. You may need to do this if the Setup Password is deleted from the client machines. To assign a new password, just run the Assign Password utility again. If you wish to assign a password to ROM Flash, change directories to the directory that contains flshlite.exe and flsh.cpu and type "assignpw flsh.cpu". Type in the password just as you did when assigning it to set_pw.exe. Make sure you use the same password that was assigned to set_pw.exe. ______________________________________________________________________________ Copyright 2000, Compaq Computer Corporation.
