Installing Firmware Images From The Tftp Server - Sun Microsystems IB Switch 9P Administration Manual

Note – Note that TFTP is not the same as FTP. It does not display the same error
messages as FTP, and you cannot use the cd or ls commands (or indeed most other
commands) that FTP allows you to use.
Installing Firmware Images From the
TFTP Server
The procedures for upgrading firmware on the switch involve using TFTP.
When you have downloaded the firmware, you need to install it into the correct
directory on the TFTP server. This makes the firmware available to the system
controller's flashupdate command.
●
To install the firmware onto the TFTP server, type the following at the root
prompt:
# cd /tftp-root-dir
# cp ibswitch-sc.flash /tftp-root-dir
# chmod 444 /tftp-root-dir/ibswitch-sc.flash
Where tftp-root-dir is the TFTP root directory on the TFTP server. On Solaris systems
this directory is typically called /tftpboot. On Linux systems it is called /tftp.
Note – The filename
ibswitch-sc.flash
is an example only.
