Default Re: how to extract the *.tgz file?

I'm guessing this machine is a SmartCenter.


On the old machine:

cd $FWDIR/bin/upgrade_tools

If the upgrade_tools directory does not exist, extract the upgrade checker tgz file and copy the upgrade_tools to that location

In the upgrade_tools directory, run:

./upgrade_export

It will generate an export file. Copy that file to the new machine's $FWDIR/bin/upgrade_tools directory. (NGX and r55 already have the upgrade_tools directory there)

---------------------

On the new machine:

cd $FWDIR/bin/upgrade_tools


then

./upgrade_import <name of export file>


then reboot.

Note that the hostname of the new machine must be the same as the old one, otherwise you have to brutally reset SIC and the ICA. (fwm sic_reset)

Assuming the IP also changed, don't forget to adjust the IP in the object.
