2210 PROM Images

PROM images contain the boot and diagnostic code that run in a 2210. Information about specific PROM images is initially loaded into the NwDM database when you update software inventory for the 2210.

Use the PROM Images task panel to manage 2210 PROM images. To display the 2210 PROM Images task panel, click PROM images from the 2210 folder of the navigation tree.

The PROM Images task panel is divided into these panes:

You can display the help panel for the PROM Images task panel by clicking Help.

Filter Pane

The Filter pane provides a way to search the Deployment Manager database for PROM images. The Filter pane contains these columns:

After entering data in the Filter pane, click Apply Filter to display the results of the search in the Filtered List pane.

PROM Image Filter List Properties

You can search on these PROM image properties:
This property... Is used to describe...

Name

The name of the PROM image.

Modified at

Date and time this PROM image was added to the database.

Download URL

The URL where the PROM image can be found.

Information URL

The URL where information about this PROM image can be found.

Image length

The number of bytes in the NwDM database taken up by this PROM image. If the PROM image is not stored in the database, this value is 0.

Configuration Comparison Operators

Over time the number of PROM image records stored in the NwDM database can grow to be quite large. Using comparison operators allow you to refine your search of the database so that only PROM image records that meet specific criteria are returned. For a list of the comparison operators and information about entering data into the PROM images filter, see Working with Deployment Manager Filters and Tables.

Filtered List Pane

The results of the search from the Filter are displayed in the Filtered List task pane.

The Filtered List task pane displays each PROM image as a separate row. To select a PROM image, click anywhere in the row, which highlights the row. Use one of these methods to select multiple PROM images:

Information about the PROM image is displayed in each of the columns. To reorder the columns, press Ctrl and Shift keys, and then click on the header of the column you want to move. The cursor changes to a hand. Drag the cursor to the desired location and release both keys.

You can also sort the Filtered List by the values in a column. Click the column header to sort the Jobs List in ascending order by the values in that column. Click the column header again to sort the values for that column in descending order.

Filtered List Action Buttons

Use the Filtered List action button to perform actions on one or more selected PROM images. These action buttons are displayed for the Filtered List task pane:

Custom List Pane

The Custom List Pane is a table similar to that displayed in the Filtered List pane. In fact, the action buttons and pop-up menu are the same for the Custom List pane as for the Filtered List pane (except that the Add selected to custom list action button is replaced with Removed selected from custom list action button).

The Custom List pane provides a way to generate a list of PROM image records based on the results of applying multiple filters. For example, you could apply a filter to generate a list of PROM image records with a length of 0 for the Filtered List pane that. Next, you would select any or all of those records and click Add selected to custom list to add them to the Custom List pane. Then, you would apply a filter to generate a list of PROM image records that apply were modified at a specific date and time. Again, select any or all of these records and apply them to the custom list. The result is a custom list based on the results of different filters.
