Updating Your System Software 11
Loading System
Software on
the LMM+
Before loading the system software on the LMM+, verify that the host
computer, which has a copy of the updated system software, is connected
to the LANplex 6000 system.
You can load the system software into flash memory while the system is
operating. You do not need to bring the system down. After the flash install is
completed, a quick reboot puts the newly loaded software to use.
If you are loading software from a PC host, the ftp server software must be
running on the PC before you begin this procedure.
Loading 8.0.2 software into flash memory takes approximately 10 to 15
minutes to complete, depending on your network load.
To load the new software:
1 From the Administration Console top-level menu, enter:
system softwareUpdate
You are prompted for the Host IP address, Install file name, User name, and
Password. The current default values are displayed in brackets [ ]. The
Password field does not display what you enter.
2 Next to
Host IP address, enter the IP address of the host computer (such
as a Sun workstation or PC) from which you are installing the software.
In the example in step 5, the IP address of the host is
192.9.200.96.
3 Next to
Install file pathname, enter the complete path and file
name.
For MS-DOS system syntax, you must precede the full pathname with a
forward slash ( / ). For example, if you are loading software from an MS-DOS
host, enter the following command at the
Install file pathname
prompt:
/c:\lp6000R\lp6000R
4 Next to User name, enter your user name.
5 Next to
Password, enter your password. You must enter a value for this
field.
