Applicable to: World-Wide
Source: RETAIN tip H166494
Abstract: Netfinity 5000: Remote flash fails with wrong diskette message
Symptom:
When you attempt to remotely flash a Netfinity 5000 via Netfinity Manager, you are prompted to insert the flash diskette. After you do so and press "OK" to continue, a message comes back that states "This is the wrong diskette for the target system".

The system is attempting to "remotely flash" a Netfinity 5000 server via Netfinity Manager.
The flash diskette is 00n8617.exe (373080 bytes, 03-31-99).
The system has the described symptom.
Fix:
This behavior will be fixed in the next release of the Remote BIOS diskette for the Netfinity 5000.
Workaround:
The reason that it does not work is that the diskette does not have the correct volume label. To get around this you need to enter in a volume label of MOJT28A.
There are many ways to change the volume label of the diskette. Once such way is to go into My Computer in MS Windows 95 or MS Windows NT. You can right click on the A drive, and then change the label to MOJT28A.
The diskette with this behavior is:
