The mfg menu was shown in an online document about setting up the c8000. I would guess that ss_update command and mfg menu disappear after the unit has been configured. Probably, the configuration data needs to be erased/reset to restore the menu. Possibly, reflashing the bch firmware would do it, or maybe there is a ODE command to reset the config. You might try downloading the firmware update. At least for the rp3440, one burns an ODE CD. Then, one boots the CD and uses various ODE commands to flash the firmware. There was definitely a lot more stuff on the CD than just the utilities to flash the firmware. Of course, one mistake and you brick the system. It would probably take HP specific JTAG tools to recover. Dave -- J.
