Your FibreConnect 1600 or 8300 requires the use of an FTP or SCP to upgrade your firmware.
Setting up an FTP Server
The following instructions apply for setting up an FTP
Server and Upgrading Firmware on Windows/Mac OS
X/Linux Operating Systems.
1
Setup and install an FTP server either using
native functionality in
Windows/Mac OS X/Linux, or utilize a freeware
application such as FtpGoServer.
Note
Java will need to be installed for FtpGoServer
to run.
FtpGoServer is a simple, fast and very small (10K)
Java FTP server that can be used on your PC, Mac or
Linux machine to allow remote FTP access to a
selected part of a computer's file system. Download
and install the application.
Upgrading Firmware via Command Line
Interface/Telnet (Recommended)
Use the following procedure to upgrade your ATTO
FibreConnect 1600 or 8300 to the latest firmware
through a Telnet/Command Line Interface (CLI).
Note
ATTO recommends that before upgrading the
switch firmware, a copy of the switch
configuration file should be saved to the FTP
server using the configupload command.
Refer to Section 5.0 of this guide for
instructions on how to do this.
1
Create a directory for the firmware files and
download the firmware from the hp website into
a UNIX or Windows machine as explained
above in FTP setup.
2
Verify the FTP service is running on a
Windows, Mac, or Linux machine.
