Avaya CMC1 manual Upload image file from the Web to staging area

Adding or Removing Hardware

7.Determine the IP address of the source circuit pack. You can either ask the data systems administrator or type the following commands:

a.Type display ip-interfaces. Find the source circuit pack’s Slot location and write down its Node Name.

b.Type display node-names ip. Find the source circuit pack’s Node Name and write down its IP Address.

Set up source circuit pack’s file system

Before files can be copied to the source circuit pack, you must set up a file system on the source circuit pack to accept the files. To set up the source circuit pack’s file system:

1.Log in using a superuser or services login and password.

2.Type enable filesystem board UUCSS login ftplogin ftppassword, where:

●UUCSS is the location of the source circuit pack.

●ftplogin is any temporary login ID that you choose for this FTP session (for example, denver).

●ftppassword is any password that you choose for this FTP session (for example, broncos). The password must be at least 7 characters long.

You use this same ftplogin and ftppassword in the section, FTP the image file to source on page 239.

This completes the preparation for a firmware download.

Upload image file from the Web to staging area

To upload files from the Web, you need a temporary staging area to store the firmware images before downloading them to a TN circuit pack. Although the staging area is often on a PC platform, you can also use other platforms such as a UNIX or Linux.

To upload image files to the staging area:

1.Go to the Avaya Support Web site (http://avaya.com/support). Follow the Software & Firmware Downloads link and the subsequent links for your product and the target circuit pack TN code.

2.Find the section for the firmware vintage you want. Unless otherwise instructed, choose the highest vintage.

3.Be sure to read that vintage’s ReadMe file before downloading the image file(s).

4.For each image file to be downloaded:

a.Click on the image filename.

b.Save this file to disk in a local staging area directory.

c.Write down the path to the local staging area and the filename of the firmware image. You need this information later.
