Installing a package
CAUTION: Whenever you install a base version of the firmware, any previously installed add-on
packages, such as third-party applications, need to be reinstalled.
In preparation for an upgrade to XPath OS 7.4.0, make sure that the current installation is version 7.3.x.
The upgrade procedure for previous versions is described at the end of this section.
Upgrading from XPath OS 7.3.x to XPath OS 7.4.0
1. Verify that the FTP service is running on the host and the you have an account on that host.
2. Download the package from the HP MP Router web site
http://h18006.www1.hp.com/products/storageworks/mprouter/index.html
to your host.
This is a compressed file with a name similar to XPath_OS_v7.4.tar. It contains all of the files
required to perform the upgrade.
3. Unzip the package to your FTP directory.
4. Log in to the MP Router (using the serial console) as admin.
5. Use the firmwareDownload command to install the package from the host to the MP Router:
firmwaredownload hostIPAddr userName pfile password
The download process takes 10 to 12 minutes. The system does not allow you to enter any commands
until the download is finished.
The following is an example of a command to upgrade from XPath OS 7.3.x to 7.4.x:
6. Reboot the MP Router.
NOTE: By default, when the MP Router is rebooted after an upgrade (by omitting the -n parameter) the
software is synchronized between any partitions on the MP Router. If you doe not want the software
synchronized, use the -n parameter to disable autocommit.
