Downloading an Operating System

Using the SNMP-Based HP Download Manager

Included with your Switch Management Module is the HP AdvanceStack Assistant CD ROM. Included in the software on that CD is a utility called HP Download Manager. You can use that utility to download the OS to the Switch Management Module.

To perform this procedure, do the following:

■At a minimum, use an IBM-compatible PC with a 386 MHz or better processor, and 8 Mbyte of RAM.

■Make sure the PC is connected to the same network as the switch.

■Obtain software and instructions from HP’s BBS or World Wide Web site. (Refer to the “Customer Support Services” section in chapter 7, “Trouble- shooting”. The HP Download Manager also has detailed online help that can guide you through the procedures.

Using the Switch-to-Switch Download

If you have two or more Switch 208/224s with Switch Management Modules installed and operating in the same network, you can download the OS software from one Switch Management Module to another by using the Download OS feature in the switch console interface.

To do so:

1.On the console connected to the switch that will be receiving the OS, select Download OS from the Main Menu.

2.Enter the IP or IPX address of the remote switch containing the OS you want to download.

3.Enter “OS” for the Remote File Name.

4.Execute the download.
