You must verify the software package integrity prior to updating IPB. Follow these steps to verify software
packages on the Iris server prior to installing them on the IPBs.
1.
Click the Software tab, and then click the Available Patches tab. Under the Software List
Pane, you will see the software packages that were loaded on the Iris server and not yet
verified. IPB Software package names will be in the format REL-XXX-<version>.ISO.
2.
Select the package you want and click the
Verify
button.
If the package is valid, it is moved to the Available Software Summary Pane.
If the package cannot be verified, an error message displays and the package
remains in the Software List Pane. Call Customer Support for assistance.
3.
In the Available Software Summary Pane, verify the patch software has the correct
version and date.

AMPAIGN
Once IPB packages are verified, you can create a campaign to upload, install, and activate the software
packages to one or more IPBs.
Campaigns also support reverting back to a previous release of IPB software. However, the IPBs
will become inaccessible from OAM due to the IPB configuration being reset. Therefore, you
must manually backup the IPB configuration before reverting and manually restore the
configuration after reverting to a previous release. Refer to
Backing Up and Restoring an IPB
for details. Previous release packages must be listed in the Available Patches Tab
in order to be accessible for selection in revert campaigns.
Follow these steps to create a campaign for upgrading software on one or more IPBs.
If reverting to a previous release of IPB software, backup the IPB configuration prior to
continuing with the procedure.
