Using SNMP to upgrade software 3

NOTE

The syntax shown in this section assumes that you have installed HP OpenView in the “/usr” directory.

NOTE

Brocade recommends that you make a backup copy of the startup-config file before you upgrade the software. If you need to run an older release, you will need to use the backup copy of the startup-config file.

1.Configure a read-write community string on the Brocade device, if one is not already configured. To configure a read-write community string, enter the following command from the global CONFIG level of the CLI.

snmp-server community <string> ro rw

where <string> is the community string and can be up to 32 characters long.

2.On the Brocade device, enter the following command from the global CONFIG level of the CLI. no snmp-serverpw-check

/usr/OV/bin/snmpset -c <rw-community-string><brcd-ip-addr>1.3.6.1.4.1.1991.1.1.2.1.5.0 ipaddress <tftp-ip-addr>1.3.6.1.4.1.1991.1.1.2.1.6.0 octetstringascii <file-name>1.3.6.1.4.1.1991.1.1.2.1.7.0 integer <command-integer>
