Upgrading the firmware
You can perform firmware upgrades using either FTP or TFTP.
To perform an upgrade:
1. Place the firmware image file onto a system that provides an FTP or TFTP server and is accessible from
the HP APM network.
2. Log in to the HP APM CLI interface using a serial port, Telnet, or SSH connection.
3. Depending on which protocol you choose, enter either of the following commands:.
o UPGRADE IMAGE FTP <ip_address> <"login_name"> <"password"> <"filename">
o UPGRADE IMAGE TFTP <ip_address> <"filename">
where:
o <ip_address> refers to the IP address of a server that contains the file to be transferred.
o <"login_name"> refers to the FTP user name on the server hosting the file.
o <"password"> refers to the password of the FTP user name.
o <"filename"> refers to the file to be transferred. To preserve case, enclose <filename> in
quotes.
The login name, password, and filename must be in quotations. For example,
UPGRADE IMAGE FTP x.x.x.x "username" "alphabravo" "filename.bin"
Following the transfer, the HP APM is automatically upgraded and reset to run the new image.
IMPORTANT: If an upgrade is performed using either a Telnet or a SSH, the connection to the HP
APM will be lost after the upgrade.
IMPORTANT: If the firmware upgrade process is interrupted, then HP APM reverts to the factory
default image.
NOTE: If you downgrade the firmware or a firmware recovery is performed, syntax error
messages might appear as the module initializes with its previously-saved configuration. You can
ignore these messages.
