3 Update Procedures
3.2 Update via TFTP server
This procedure is used to update PRIMERGY system components which
cannot be updated using the update tools available under Windows, Linux or
DOS either at all or only with great effort, or to update autonomous hardware
systems on which none of these three operating systems runs. These sys-
tem components and hardware systems are updated via a ServerView
Update Agent of the type TFTP Server.
The system components and hardware systems must be able to fetch an
image from a TFTP server and to update themselves. They must have inter-
faces via which
l the configuration data can be read (e.g. version, name, MAC address,
etc.).
l the required parameters (IP address, path name and image name on the
TFTP server) can be set.
l the update procedure can be started.
The following control interface is currently implemented for this purpose in
the Update Manager:
SNMP (reading) and HTTP (writing)
for updating a hardware system, e.g. the management blade of the blade
servers BX600 and BX900
In the case of BX600 MMB S2 there may be two alternate man-
agement blades in operation (master and slave) which have
just one joint update IP address for updating purposes. In this
case when an update procedure takes place both management
blades are always updated via this update IP address.
