Downloading Firmware using an HP-UX Workstation
and a Terminal
The following instructions assume you are using HP-UX 9.0, or later. Before
upgrading firmware, you must first establish an IP connection between your
HP-UX workstation and the probe.
NOTE The download workstation can be an HP-UX 9.x or later, but the NetMetrix/UX
application is only supported on HP-UX 10.20 and 11.0, or later.
The following steps are required to download firmware to your probe:
1. “Install New Download Firmware on an HP-UX Workstation” below
2. “Download Firmware to the Probe” on page 103
Install New Download Firmware on an HP-UX Workstation
To download a new firmware file to the probe using an HP-UX workstation and a
terminal, the new firmware file must be copied into the ~tftp directory on your
HP-UX workstation, and the file must be readable by tftp. Typically, the ~tftp
directory is /home/tftpdir.
For more information on configuration and usage of tftp, refer to your HP-UX
tftp documentation (typically found in an ARPA Services manual).
