If you are using
ftp
to perform the upgrade, transfer the previously downloaded file using binary
transfer mode from the remote host to
/dev/rootfs_1
on your Tempus LX using FTP. The root file sys-
tem image will be named with the software part number and version like: 6010-0042-000_3.00.gz .
Substitute the name of the actual root file system image that you are installing for
6010-0042-000_
3.00.gz . Issue these commands from the console of your Tempus LX:
ftp remote_host
{ perform ftp login on remote host }
bin
{set transfer mode to binary}
get 6010-0042-000_3.00.gz /dev/rootfs_1
{transfer the file}
quit
{
close the ftp session after transfer
}
If you are using
ssh
, you may open a command window on the remote computer and securely trans-
fer the root file system image using
scp
from the remote computer to your Tempus LX. A command
like this should be used:
scp –p 6010-0042-000_3.00.gz root@cntp.your.domain:/dev/rootfs_1
Update the default file system partition by issuing this command on your Tempus LX.
updaterootflag 1
You should see this line displayed:
UPGRADE is the default root file system.
Now reboot the system by issuing this command at the shell prompt:
shutdown –r now
Wait about 30 seconds for the system to shutdown and re-boot. Then log in to the Tempus LX using
telnet
or
ssh
. If all has gone well, you should be able to log in the usual way. After you have
entered your password, the system message will be displayed. You should notice that it now indicates
the software version and date of the upgrade that you previously downloaded. You can also check
this at any time by issuing
gntpversion
which will cause the system message to be re-displayed.
You can also check to see which root file system image the system is currently booted under by issu-
ing this command at the shell prompt:
gntprootfs
Which should cause this to be printed to the console:
BOOT_IMAGE=TempusLXGPS_1
If so, and your unit seems to be operating normally, you have successfully completed the upgrade. If
your unit does not boot up successfully, and you are not able to
telnet
or
ssh
into the system after
30 seconds, then there has been some kind of problem with the upgrade. It is possible that the file
