Appendix D : Upgrade Procedure 237
Using StorTrends as an FTP Server
Step Action
1 Check whether you have space to create a 5GB NAS volume. If you already have a NAS
volume, you can use that instead. If you do not have enough space or do not have a pre-
existing NAS volume, you need to use an external FTP server.
If you can access the AMI FTP server, then you can skip this procedure.
2 If you do not have a NAS volume, create an exact provisioned NAS volume of 5GB from
ManageTrends® or CLI (the Command Line Interface).
3 Create a Share on that volume (for example,
ftpshare
). Enable FTP access on that
Share . Also verify that the Storage Appliance has been configured for FTP access.
(Control Panel->Network Settings->File Protocols->HTTP/ FTP)
4 Copy the upgrade file into this Share .
Note:
The upgrade file may be compressed. If it is compressed, you must uncompress
it first.
Path Information Configuration
The path should be where you copied the extracted/copied upgrade files in the FTP site.
If you have extracted/copied to:
ftp://xx.yy.zz.aa/ftpshare
then the path should be specified as:
/ftpshare/upgrade
Errors during Upgrade
If you get an error "
Incorrect path ", then the StorTrends operating system could not find
the upgrade files in the path provided. Verify that the path is correct. Refer to the
previous section
Path Information Configuration .
