PGRADE
3.1.1 R ELEASE 18.4 E RRATA
There was an error in the 18.3 release whereby a download image is incorrectly determined to be
defective. This release corrects that error. The error was introduced in the 18.3 release, and prior
releases do not exhibit the error.
3.1.2 R ELEASE 18.3 E RRATA
There is no errata for the upgrade utility in this release. The release numbers have merely been kept
consistent with the other utilities.
3.1.3 R ELEASE 18.2 E RRATA
Support has been added for the 4000XA. The 4000XA is a software conversion to a 4000 that gives it
the personality and the feature set of the 4180. The
–m4000XA is used to specify a 4000XA device.
3.1.4 R ELEASE 18.1 E RRATA
A new option “- x ” has been added on the command line for those users using a support processor
running Solaris version 2.6 or older. These older versions of Solaris do not support the advanced
TCP features of newer versions of Solaris. The “
-x ” option excludes the need for these advanced
TCP features.
There is no errata on this release for OS variants other than Solaris.
Usage is as follows:
upgrade [-v] [-d] [-p<PASS>] [-b<DDS>] [-r] [-t<TCP#>] [-slow] [-x] –m<TYPE> <IP-ADDR>
<fname>
3.1.5 R ELEASE 17.1 E RRATA
The upgrade utility, in this release, becomes the sole utility for updates in either a TCP or BNS
network and supercedes all previous versions, including BNS only derivatives. If the device must be
accessed through it’s serial console port because there is no TCP/IP connectivity available, then the
serial port may be connected to a BNS asynchronous module as explained in the introduction.
When providing access via a serial port, configure the port on the BNS network at 9600 baud and no
parity. For connection to a SAM or MSM port, configure the port as type
host and enable pap . For
connection to a TY port, configure the port as type console . For the argument of the –b flag used on
the command line for the utility, configure the dialstring for the serial console port. As an example,
assume the serial console of a UTM is connected to a SAM port that has a service address of
samhost . Assume the BNS network has a UMI module at IP address 192.168.0.234 and has a
configured a vport of type=rcv having an hport=50001. The command line syntax for the upgrade
utility would be:
upgrade –v –d –r –t50001 –bsamhost –slow –mUTM 192.168.0.234 univ_pp.16.1
Note the –slow flag. This parameter is necessary to slow the transfer because certain devices,
namely the UTM, UMI, IP-DSU, DT-2020, and DT-2020i, can only accept only one character at a time
on their serial interfaces until firmware updates can be made to these devices at some later time.
However, the product continues to run while the upgrade is taking place. Previously, using the serial
