Verifying The Contents Of The Tftpboot Directory; Determining Which Firmware To Install On The G700 - Avaya G700 Installation Manual

Upgrading an existing G700 without an S8300

Verifying the contents of the tftpboot directory

Before proceeding with the G700 firmware installation, you should check the /tftpboot directory
on the TFTP server to make sure the firmware versions match those listed in the planning
documentation. If they do not, you must copy the correct firmware versions into the /tftpboot
directory using the following procedure:
1. Download the firmware files from the support Website to your laptop.
2. Using the Web Interface on the S8300 Media Server, copy the firmware files from your
laptop to the /var/home/ftp/pub directory on the S8300, or
Alternatively, you can "ftp" the files from your laptop to the pub directory.
3. Copy the firmware files from the pub directory to the /tftpboot directory, using the S8300
Media Server command line interface.

For detailed information on this procedure, see "Appendix 2" in Job Aid:

you need to install the new firmware for those components.
To determine if new firmware for the P330 stack processor is necessary
1. At either the P330-1(super)# or P330-1(configure)# prompt, type dir.
