Firmware images used to update gateways must be located on a TFTP server. You can load the images to the built-in ICPAM TFTP server, or to another TFTP server as described in this section. If using the built-in TFTP server, that server must be running. For more information on this, see Disabling the ICPAM TFTP Server.
After the firmware has been copied to the TFTP server, you can load it to one or more gateways, as described in Updating the Firmware on Individual Gateways and Updating the Firmware on All Gateways.
To load images to a TFTP server using Image Manager, do the following:
Step 1 (Optional) Enable the built-in ICPAM TFTP server, if necessary.
Note • The
ICPAM TFTP server is enabled by default. Complete these steps only if
the server was manually disabled, as described in Disabling
the ICPAM TFTP Server .
• If
you are using firmware images located on another TFTP server (not the
ICPAM TFTP server), skip to Step 2.
a. Log in to the ICPAM Server Administration utility.
See Logging on to the ICPAM Server Administration Utility.
b. Select the Monitoring tab and then select Status, as shown in Figure C-7.
c. If the TFTP Service is Down, click Start.
d. Verify that the TFTP service is Up.
Step 2 Log into the ICPAM desktop client.
See Logging on to the ICPAM Server Administration Utility.
Step 3 Select Image Manager from the Admin menu.
The following figure shows the Image Manager window.
The following table describes each field.
|
Field |
Description |
---|---|---|
1 |
TFTP server |
The IP address of the TFTP server to store image files. |
2 |
Default |
Click this button to IP address for the ICPAM TFTP server in the TFTP server field. |
3 |
Remote Directory Path |
The directory path on the TFTP server where files will be uploaded. The directory is in relation to the TFTP server root directory. · If using the built-in ICPAM TFTP server, this field is read-only. Select the directory path using the Remote Browser. · If using a TFTP server other than the build-in ICPAM server, this field is editable and you must enter the directory path on the TFTP server where files will be uploaded. The directory path must be valid since ICPAM does not validate remote server directories. Note: If this field is empty the image file is uploaded to the TFTP root directory. The default TFTP root directory is /tftpboot for Unix systems. |
4 |
Remote Browser |
Selects the directory where files will be uploaded on the built-in ICPAM TFTP server. This field is active only if you are using the build-in ICPAM server. Right-click within the field to display and select the following menu options: · Create Directory: Creates a directory. · Delete File/Directory: Enabled when a file or directory is selected. Deletes the file or directory |
5 |
Download Button |
Download a selected image on the TFTP server to the local drive. |
6 |
Upload Button |
Uploads the selected image file to the specified TFTP server and directory. This button is enabled only when a file is selected in the Local directory browser. |
7 |
Local Image Browser |
The Local directory browser specifies the file on a local drive for upload to the TFTP server. · Click the Up button to navigate one level up. · Double-click a folder to view the folder contents. · Select a file to enter the file name and directory path in the Local Directory Path field and enable the Upload button. |
8 |
Local Directory Path |
Read-only. Displays the directory path and filename for the file selected in the Local browser. This file will be uploaded to the specified TFTP server. |
Step 4 Upload firmware images to either the ICPAM TFTP server, or another TFTP server.
Uploading images to the ICPAM TFTP Server:
a. Click Default to enter the ICPAM TFTP server IP address in the TFTP server field.
b. Select the file to be uploaded from the Local file browser. The selected file is automatically entered in the Local Image File field.
c. Use the Remote Browser to select the directory on the ICPAM TFTP server where files will be uploaded. This field is inactive if you are using a TFTP server other than the build-in ICPAM server.
Right-click within the Remote Browser to select the following menu options:
– Create Directory: Creates a new directory on the ICPAM TFTP server.
– Delete File/Directory: Deletes a selected file or directory.
d. Click Upload to add the file to the TFTP server specified in the TFTP server field.
Uploading Images to a Different TFTP Server (Not the ICPAM TFTP Server):
a. Enter the server IP address in the TFTP server field.
b. In the Remote Directory field, enter the TFTP server directory path where the image will be stored. If this field is left blank, then the root TFTP directory is used by default. The default Unix TFTP root directory is /tftpboot.
Note The TFTP server directory path entered in the Remote Directory field must be valid. ICPAM does not validate the existence of remote server directories.
c. In the Local file browser field, select the firmware file on a local drive to be uploaded. The directory path and filename are displayed in the Image File field.
d. Click Upload to add the file to the TFTP server specified in the TFTP server field.
Step 5 Continue to Updating the Firmware on Individual Gateways.
Tip To download an image from the TFTP server to a local directory, select the image and local directory, then click the Download button.
