Using the CLI method

You must have root authority on the NAS Gateway 500 to update its firmware. This
method allows updating from files already loaded onto the NAS Gateway 500. For
example, if the file is located in the /tmp/fwupdate/ subdirectory, enter the following
commands:
cd /usr/lpp/diagnostics/bin
./update_flash -f /tmp/fwupdate/3R030718.img
Note: Do not overlook the periods (.) in the above command.
You will be asked for confirmation to proceed with the firmware update and the
required reboot. If you confirm, the NAS Gateway 500 automatically performs the
update and reboots. The checkpoints 99FF and 99FD alternately appear while the
update is in progress. This can take up to thirty minutes, depending on the
configuration of the system. Because the update occurs during this shutdown/reboot
sequence, it is important to protect the NAS Gateway 500 from interruptions.
To verify that the update was successful, the firmware level can be checked as
described in "Determining the level of firmware on the system" on page 248.

Archiving the update files

In the event that it becomes necessary to restore the server to a certain firmware
level, you should identify and archive the materials for each update you install. If
the download process produced diskettes, label and store them in a safe place. If
the download process produced files, archive and identify the files for convenient
retrieval.
