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. |
