3.1 Preliminary Steps
The following are some general notes that need to be considered when upgrading a fielded
system:
• The Hub Master should be the final CPU upgraded in the network to ensure that any
new network-level functions are managed and supported properly.
• It is assumed that a network administrator will be performing the upgrade.
• Upgrading an operational system will interrupt service, so upgrades should be planned
during the maintenance window.
• An upgrade of a test CPU should be attempted prior to upgrading an entire system or
set of systems.
• For upgrade verification purposes, note the PA power, RUC attenuator values, and
module pathtrace values (see the transceptOpencellPathtraceTable MIB) on a test
RAN CPU and follow instructions found in the section in this document labeled
“Verification”.
• The upgrade executable should be FTP'd to all target machines prior to upgrading any
machine. This is more efficient than updating one machine at a time.
• The RAN CPUs should be upgraded first, as upgrading the HUB CPUs may interrupt
telnet sessions to the RAN, thereby stopping the RAN upgrades.
3.2 Upgrade Steps
The following are the steps for installing and running the upgrade executable:
• FTP to the target CPU by entering: ftp <ip/hostname>, with "operator" as the
username and "operate" as the password.
• Configure FTP to transfer in binary mode by entering: bin
• Explicitly set the target location by entering: cd /var/
• Push the distribution executable file to the target CPU by entering: put <filename>,
where <filename> is something like "hr-2.0.0-upgrade".
• Exit out of the FTP session using quit or exit, depending on the FTP application being
used.
• Telnet into the target CPU by entering: telnet <ip/hostname>, with "operator" as the
username and "operate" as the password.
• Change to the directory where the upgrade is located by entering: cd /var/
• Change the upgrade file mode to be executable by entering: chmod 555 <filename>,
where "filename" is something like "hr-2.0.0-upgrade"
• Run the upgrade distribution executable file by entering: ./<filename>, where
<filename> is something like "hr-2.0.0-upgrade".
• Upon completion of the upgrade, which will take several minutes, reboot the machine
to be sure that everything starts normally by entering: sudo reboot
