Emprise 7000 Installation and Service Guide 111
Step 1: Upload the File
1. Locate the MRC firmware upgrade file at http://support.xiotech.com and download it to a
location on your network. Typically, you use the administrator credentials (username and
password are administrator).
2. Use the service or command of your choice to upload the MRC firmware upgrade file from its
location on your network to ISE local memory. For example:
pscp <MRC_firmware_file_name>
<user_name>@<MRC_host_name_or_IP_address_of_either_MRC>:/upgrade/
controller
EXAMPLE:
pscp c:\\rc121\\controller.fw [email protected]:/upgrade/controller
password is: administrator
Answer any security questions and, when prompted, type the ISE's password for the user
name you used to connect to it.
3. Connect to the MRC remotely:
a. Putty to MRC, c:\putty\putty 10.64.162.107
b. Log in using administrator/administrator.
Step 2: Upgrade the Firmware—ISE’s CLI
During this step, the MRC Status in the
show mrc
display is shown as
Warning <MRC FW
Update In Progress>
for each MRC in turn.
1. Using a remote console, connect to the same MRC to which you uploaded the file.
2. Type
upgrade --status
to observe the upgrade status of the MRC.
•
If an MRC upgrade has never been performed, the status reads
Ready for upgrade
.
•
If an MRC upgrade has been attempted or performed, the status displays information
about the most recent upgrade attempt or completion.
3. Type
upgrade --check=<
MRC_firmware_file_name
>
to check the uploaded file to ensure it
is compatible with the hardware and software currently in the system:
•
If the uploaded file is not compatible, the CLI displays the contents of the file, a
Failed
Matrix Verification
message, and the upgrade status. The system deletes the
incompatible file from ISE memory. Locate an MRC firmware file that is compatible with
the hardware and software versions on your ISE and begin the procedure again from
Step 1 - Upload the File.
•
If the uploaded file is compatible, the CLI displays the contents of the file, a
Firmware
image file is valid
message, and the upgrade status.
