Updating Your System Software
Your HP e-Commerce Traffic Director Server Appliance SA8200/
SA8220 is shipped with the latest system software installed. After
initial installation and setup, you may be eligible for, or choose to
purchase, a software version update or product upgrade. Update and
upgrade procedures are performed using either the Graphical User
Interface (please see “Graphical User Interface”, Chapter 4) or the
Command Line Interface (please see “Command Line Interface,
Chapter 5). This chapter describes how to update or upgrade using the
CLI.
Multiple
Software
Images The SA8220 provides sufficient local storage for up to five software
images (though at any time, only one image is active and executing).
You can download and install new software images on the SA8220
using the CLI command,
config sys software install .
Software
Image Media Depending on the circumstances, you may receive your software
update or upgrade from CD-ROM as part of a new software kit, or
you can download it from an HP software Web site. In either case, the
distribution consists of a single large binary file of approximately 50
MB. The first step in software installation is to place this install image
file on an ftp server accessible by the SA8220.
Saving Your
Current
Configuration Username commands are not valid in configuration files, that is,
save config and restore config operations do not include
username data.
The SA8220 configurations are not, by default, preserved across
major software updates and upgrades. It is however possible to save
your existing SA8220 configuration while running your currently
installed software, and subsequently restore it to your updated
system. You can save your current configuration with the
save
command.
