Uploading an Image File by Using RCP
You can upload an image from the WMIC to an RCP server. You can later download this image to the
same WMIC or to another WMIC of the same type.
Caution For the download and upload algorithms to operate properly, do not rename image directories.
The upload feature is available only if the HTML pages associated with the Cluster Management Suite
(CMS) have been installed with the existing image.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to upload an image to an RCP server:
The archive upload-sw privileged EXEC command builds an image file on the server by uploading these
files in order: info, the IOS image, the HTML files, and info.ver. After these files are uploaded, the
upload algorithm creates the tar file format.
Command Purpose
Step 1 Verify that the RCP server is properly configured by
referring to the “Preparing to Download or Upload an Image
File by Using RCP” section on page 7-27.
Step 2 Log in to the WMIC through a Telnet session.
Step 3 configure terminal Enters global configuration mode.
This step is required only if you override the default remote
username (see Steps 4 and 5).
Step 4 ip rcmd remote-username username (Optional) Specifies the remote username.
Step 5 end Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 6 archive upload-sw
rcp:[[[//[username@]location]/directory]/image-na
me.tar]
Uploads the currently running WMIC image to the RCP
server.
For //username, specify the username; for the RCP copy
request to execute, an account must be defined on the
network server for the remote username. For more
information, see the “Preparing to Download or Upload
an Image File by Using RCP” section on page 7-27.
For @location, specify the IP address of the RCP server.
For /directory]/image-name.tar, specify the directory
(optional) and the name of the software image to be
uploaded. Directory and image names are case sensitive.
The image-name.tar is the name of software image to be
stored on the server.
