Your system ships with two disk partitions, one partition is used for the
current runtime (RP) version of software and the other partition is for the
upgraded (UP) version of software. Each partition provides 20 Gigabytes of
disk space.
This chapter describes how to update your system software, and how to utilize
these partitions.

Using two partitions, your system allows you to upgrade your system software
while maintaining a previous version of your configuration. The following
sections describe how to accomplish this.

To upgrade your system from Version 2.0 to a newer release, while saving
your current configuration, complete the following:

accomplished once. To do this, from root prompt, enter the
following command:
fdisk /dev/ataraid/d0

Within the fdisk command, display a print(p) disk layout by entering
the letter “p”. A display similar to the following displays:
