IP Storage Router SR2122-2 User Guide

Note:

There may be times when you need to make special software available to the

storage router, for example, under the guidance of a HP Technical Support

professional. If you isolate this software from standard updates by placing it in another

location (not the default download location), you could change the default download

location, download the software, and then reset the default download location. An

easier way, however, is to specify the download location via the URL parameter on the
download software proxy

command. For example, to download a file named

313.tar containing version 3.1.3 software from
http://your.website.com/StorageRouter

using the services of a proxy

server, issue this command:
download software proxy url http://your.website.com/
StorageRouter/313.tar

.

Using TFTP

To make a new version of software available to the storage router via TFTP:

1. enable — Enter Administrator mode.

2. show software version all

— Verify that there is only one version

of software on the storage router. If two versions exist, use the
delete software version

command to delete the old version of

software to make room for the new version.

3. download software tftp version 3.1.3

— Make a new

software version available to the storage router (for example, 3.1.3).

Note:

There may be times when you need to make special software available to the

storage router, for example, under the guidance of a HP Technical Support

professional. If you isolate this software from standard updates by placing it in another

location (not the default download location), you could change the default download

location, download the software, and then reset the default download location. An

easier way, however, is to specify the download location via the hostname and filename

parameters on the download software tftp command. For example, to

download a file named

313.tar

containing version 3.1.3 software from my_tftpHost

using TFTP, issue this command:
download software tftp hostname my_tftp Host

filename 313.tar. The

313.tar file must reside in the default base directory defined for the TFTP host.
