distribution consists of a single large binary file of approximately 20
megabytes. The first step in software installation is to place this
install image file on an ftp server accessible by the 7190.
NOTE: Username
commands are not valid
in configuration files, i.e.,
save config and
restore config
operations do not include
username data.
Saving Your Current Configuration
7190 configurations are by default preserved across major software
updates. It is however recommended that you save your existing 7190
configuration while running your currently installed software. You
can save your current configuration with the save command.

Downloading

and Installing

the Software

The process for downloading and installing the software is the same
whether the image is a version update or patch. Once the install file is
on an ftp server, you use the CLI to instruct the 7190 to download and
install it. Although it is possible to install software while the 7190 is
operating, it is recommended that a backup 7190 be configured
before installation to minimize your downtime. If no backup is
available, it is best to perform installation at off-peak times. To in stall
the image, use the command config sys software install.
NOTE: You need the ftp
server’s hostname, a user
name, password, and the
image’s filename.
When you have these items, execute config sys software
install from the 7190 CLI. The following is an example of the
syntax for ftp downloads.
Config sys software install ftp://
FTPURL<imagename> user <myftpuser> password
<myftppw>
Status information appears as the installation progresses. If the install
status information indicates that the installation failed due to
incorrect URL, user name, or password information, verify this data
and reenter the command with the appropriate corrections.
