■ file, for upgrading from a file that has already been downloaded to the Oracle
Fabric Interconnect. This option is useful for upgrading the Fabric Interconnect
from a local file system, for example from disk, USB (a mounted /usb device), or
a /home directory.
■ ftp. Upgrade through FTP prompts you for a password.
You can also perform upgrades in confirmation or non-confirmation mode by using
the -noconfirm argument in the system upgrade command. The -noconfirm
argument is optional, and the behavior of prompts is different depending on
whether you use this argument:
If you specify the -noconfirm argument, the upgrade completes without
prompting you for confirmation. The -noconfirm argument automatically answers
yes to any prompts.
If you do not specify the -noconfirm argument, you will be prompted for a yes or
no answer as needed during the upgrade.
Saving and Restoring Your Configuration
The Oracle Fabric Interconnect automatically maintains a copy of its current
configuration at all times. Also, it is possible to save and restore the configuration on
demand. Although not required, it is a good practice to create a backup of the
current configuration in case you encounter any problems during the upgrade
process.
■ To save the current configuration, use the system export <file-name>
command. For example, to save the current running configuration to a file called
xsigo-3.9.0.xml, you would issue the command as follows:
system export xsigo-3.9.0.xml
■ To restore the configuration from a backup, use the system import <file-name>
command to load the saved configuration. For example, to load the saved
configuration called xsigo-3.9.0.xml, you would issue the command as
follows:
system import xsigo-3.9.0.xml
The file will be imported from the current directory unless you provided a path
and filename when you exported the file. If you exported the configuration to a
path and file name, make sure you specify the path and file name when you
import the saved configuration.
