Verifying for
Upgrading
Before upgrading, run the diagnostic utility in Upgrade Link to verify connectivity
to the switch or bridge/router by following these steps:
1 Choose a switch or bridge/router from the pop-up list in the Console page, or click
New to enter the IP address or hostname. The pop-up list contains devices that
you have upgraded or backed-up before.
2 Select Verify Upgrade Services (Diagnose) and click Apply.
The Settings Page appears. Select the appropriate settings as described in on
“Settings Page” on page 28 and click OK to close that window.
The Status page appears showing the results of the diagnostic tests.
3 If the Status page shows a failure, check the SNMP read/write community string
and FTP/TFTP server settings.
If the Status page shows a success, click Home to continue with the upgrade and
return to the Console page.
Installing Software on
the NMS
Upgrade Link installs the software on the NMS in the following directory:
Windows:
\%tftpboot%\image\<platform>\SW|FW\<version>\<pkg>
UNIX:
/tftpboot/image/<platform>/SW|FW/<version>/<pkg>
For UNIX, if there is not enough space on the disk, you can link /tftpboot to
another disk. For example, to link /tftpboot to the usr directory, enter:
ln -s /usr/tftpboot /tftpboot/
The utilities work only with the default directory names and structures.
