Configuration 17

a.

Navigate to Applications>Systems Settings>Server Settings>Services and make sure that TFTP

and xinetd are running.

b.

Open the /etc/xinetd.d/tftp file and modify the parameter server_args to include -T
15000000. For example, server_args = -c -s /tftpboot -T 15000000.

c.

If a firewall is enabled, disable it or modify the settings to allow the firewall to connect to the
TFTP port. To change the firewall settings, navigate to Applications>System Settings>Security
Level, and enter 69:udp in the parameter of the other port.

To update the firmware, log in to LO100 as the administrator through the CLP interface, and issue the
load command to upload and install the firmware from the map1/firmware directory.

1.

Start a CLP session. To access CLP:

a.

Navigate to Start>All Programs>Accessories>Command Prompt.

b.

At the command prompt, enter telnet <IP address>.

2.

At the CLP prompt, enter cd map1/firmware.

3.

At the CLP prompt, enter load -source <URI> -oemhpfiletype csr
where:

o

<URI> is the //<tftp server IP>/<filename> to be downloaded.

o

<tftp server IP> is the URL or IP address of the TFTP server containing the firmware.

o

<filename> is the file name of the image file (LdrImage.bin in this example).

For example, enter load -source //10.141.38.157/LdrImage.bin - oemhpfiletype
csr.
The TFTP application might report an error in the early part of the firmware upload process, during
the firmware image validation process. An error does not necessarily indicate failure of the firmware
upload and does not prevent successful firmware uploads. A successful firmware upload typically

takes several minutes. After the firmware upgrade process is complete, verify that the new version of

the firmware is active.
If the firmware upgrade process fails after sufficient time (at least 5 minutes), reboot the server, and
verify that the previous version of the firmware is still active. Always reboot the server before retrying

the firmware upgrade process.
After installing the firmware, the IP address of the server might reset to the default value. You must
locally reset the IP address to the desired address.

NOTE:

After using the load command LO100 will reset ending your CLP interface session.

You must reconnect to the CLP interface.

NOTE:

When you use the CLP load command with TFTPD32, HP recommends using a 4-

second timeout and 10 retries.
