Verifying A Successful Upgrade; Returning To An Older Firmware Version; Loading Another Image - Tut Systems SMS2000 User Manual

System Administration

Verifying a Successful Upgrade

1. After the SMS2000 reboots, telnet to the SMS2000.
2. Login. Use the version command to verify that the release matches the upgrade
version and the SMS2000 booted from the same location from which the new
firmware was loaded.
This example shows that the SMS2000 booted from hda2.
Use the show status command to verify that the system is operating normally.
3.
If you see: connect (/var/run/ppctl): Connection refused, the SMS2000 is not
operating normally and the upgrade has failed. If for any reason the upgrade is
unsuccessful, contact your support Representative.

Returning to an Older Firmware Version

The SMS2000 stores two firmware images. If the newer firmware image fails to start, the
SMS2000 automatically boots from the older image. You can force the SMS2000 to boot
the older image using the load sys command.

Loading Another Image

1. Use the version command to determine the image from which you want to boot.
2. Enter load sys 1 to load the image for hda1, or load sys 2 to load the image for hda2.
3. Reboot your SMS2000 system.
