Managing System Files

ECS4130.bix are considered to be unique files. Thus, if the upgrade file is stored
as ECS4130.bix (or even EcS4130.bix) on a case-sensitive server, then the switch
(requesting ecs4130.bix) will not be upgraded because the server does not
recognize the requested file name and the stored file name as being equal. A
notable exception in the list of case-sensitive Unix-like operating systems is
Mac OS X, which by default is case-insensitive. Please check the documentation
for your servers operating system if you are unsure of its file systems behavior.
Note that the switch itself does not distinguish between upper and lower-case
file names, and only checks to see if the file stored on the server is more recent
than the current runtime image.
If two operation code image files are already stored on the switchs file system,
then the non-startup image is deleted before the upgrade image is transferred.
The automatic upgrade process will take place in the background without
impeding normal operations (data switching, etc.) of the switch.
During the automatic search and transfer process, the administrator cannot
transfer or update another operation code image, configuration file, public key,
or HTTPS certificate (i.e., no other concurrent file management operations are
possible).
The upgrade operation code image is set as the startup image after it has been
successfully written to the file system.
The switch will send an SNMP trap and make a log entry upon all upgrade
successes and failures.
The switch will immediately restart after the upgrade file is successfully written
to the file system and set as the startup image.
Parameters
The following parameters are displayed:
Automatic Opcode Upgrade – Enables the switch to search for an upgraded
operation code file during the switch bootup process. (Default: Disabled)
Automatic Upgrade Location URL – Defines where the switch should search
for the operation code upgrade file. The last character of this URL must be a
forward slash (“/”). The ECS4130.bix filename must not be included since it is
automatically appended by the switch. (Options: ftp, sftp, tftp)
Automatic Opcode Upgrade Reload – Restarts the switch automatically after
an opcode upgrade is completed.
The following syntax must be observed:
tftp://host[/filedir]/
tftp:// – Defines TFTP protocol for the server connection.
