PREREQUISITES: None INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Download the SoftPaq .EXE file to a directory on your hard drive. 2. Execute the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions. 3. Place the firmware image file (cpqia420.bin) on an FTP, HTTP, or TFTP server that is network-accessible from the Integrated Administrator to be updated. 4. Using Telnet, SecureSH, or a serial terminal, login as the Administrator on the Integrated Administrator to be updated. 5. At the ''>'' prompt, type the following command: UPDATE IMAGE < url > Where < url > can be any of the following items: - http://host/path ftp://host/path - ftp://username:password@host/path - tftp://host/path NOTE: In the previously listed items, "host" is a fully qualified domain name or IP address, and "path" is the pathname of the flash image to download, usually cpqia420.bin. CAUTION: Do not Power Off or reset the enclosure during Step 6. 6. Type "yes" to confirm the flash update operation. The Integrated Administrator prompts all users to log off, waits one minute, and then downloads the image file, verifies the image file, and finally re-programs the flash memory. If the flash programming process is successful, the Integrated Administrator automatically restarts (reboots). NOTE: The Integrated Administrator firmware update process (including a restart) does not affect the operation of any blades that may be running within the enclosure. Upgrading the Integrated Administrator firmware requires an IA restart which causes the IA to lose access to some blade information (such as blade name, MAC addresses, processor type, memory, and so forth) until the next time each blade is rebooted. NOTE: For additional information, see the user guide for the Integrated Administrator, which may found on http://www.hp.com/support and search for PC BL Enclosure.
