78 CHAPTER 8: REFERENCE FOR THE UPGRADE MANAGEMENT UTILITIES
bcminstall
Syntax bcminstall [-h | -cdrom [<path>] | -tar <path> | -r | -diskette | -image
<path> | <device>]
Description The bcminstall utility installs bridge/router software and firmware onto a network
management station from either a CD-ROM, tar files, an image file, a
bridge/router, or a network management station floppy diskette. You must install
all applicable Enterprise OS software packages before beginning the upgrade
process. On a UNIX system, you must have superuser privileges to run the
bcminstall utility.
The default method of installing a Enterprise OS package is to install it from a
CD-ROM drive on the network management station. The bcminstall utility copies
the files on the CD-ROM into a directory under /%tftpboot%/image. Using the
path option allows installation from a network management station that has two
or more CD-ROM drives, or from a remote CD-ROM drive. On a UNIX system, you
must specify the path if you are installing from a CD-ROM that is not cdrom0. For
example, to install a Enterprise OS software package from a second CD-ROM on
Solaris, enter:
bcminstall -cdrom /cdrom/cdrom1/image
The following example shows how to install a boot image for an image-only
upgrade from the directory /tmp/:
bcminstall -image /tmp/boot.68k

-image <path> Installs an image file (for image-only upgrades only).
<device> The IP address of the bridge/router from which the
over-the-network installation occurs.
