Using the SNMP-Based HP Download Manager
Included with your Switch Management Module is the HP AdvanceStack
Assistant CD ROM. Included in the software on that CD is a utility called HP
Download Manager. You can use that utility to download the OS to the Switch
Management Module.
To perform this procedure, do the following:
■
At a minimum, use an IBM-compatible PC with a 386 MHz or better
processor, and 8 Mbyte of RAM.
■
Make sure the PC is connected to the same network as the switch.
■
Obtain software and instructions from HP’s BBS or World Wide Web site.
(Refer to the “Customer Support Services” section in chapter 7, “Trouble-
shooting”. The HP Download Manager also has detailed online help that
can guide you through the procedures.
Using the Switch-to-Switch Download
If you have two or more Switch 208/224s with Switch Management Modules
installed and operating in the same network, you can download the OS
software from one Switch Management Module to another by using the
Download OS feature in the switch console interface.
To do so:
1. On the console connected to the switch that will be receiving the OS,
select
Download OS
from the Main Menu.
2. Enter the IP or IPX address of the remote switch containing the OS you
want to download.
3. Enter “OS” for the Remote File Name.
4. Execute the download.
