Pre-upgrade service pack requirement
On the Maintenance Web Interface, the pre-upgrade
service pack is not compatible; therefore, there is no
provision for Linux backup/restore. You must manually
record all configuration data for later reentry.
You need the service pack that sets up the Linux backup/
restore feature on the Maintenance Web Interface. You
install the pre-upgrade service pack, then back up and
restore the system files. If you back up the files to the
customer's network, you must minimally reconfigure the
media server to assign an IP address to the Ethernet port
connected to the customer's network. Make sure you have
the configuration settings before going on site.
You do not need the service pack. You can back up and
restore the system files without the service pack. If you

address to the Ethernet port connected to the customer's
network. Make sure you have the configuration settings
before going on site.
