Back Up the Current Configuration
Before Upgrading
Save the current NEM configuration to a remote
site before upgrading the NEM software. Refer to the Sun Blade 6000 Ethernet Switched NEM 24p 10GbE
Software Configuration Guide for additional information.
If the switch is running the 1.1.0.x release,
you can also use the backup and restore feature from Oracle ILOM
to save the current Oracle ILOM and SEFOS configurations to a remote
server. You can then restore the switch configuration after upgrading
the firmware. See Include the SEFOS Configuration in Backups.
Note - During the upgrade, if you answer yes to
the question Preserve existing configuration (y/n)?,
the Oracle ILOM and SEFOS configurations is automatically preserved
and there is no need to explicitly restore the configuration. If a
syslog server address was configured in Oracle ILOM, the address
is not preserved (see CR 7022286), and you must reconfigure the
syslog server setting after the upgrade or restore.
- Configure
the default IP address.
- Enter Global Configuration
mode.
SEFOS# configure terminal
- Configure the default IP address
and subnet mask as 10.0.0.100 and 255.255.0.0.
SEFOS(config)# default ip address 10.0.0.100 subnet-mask 255.255.0.0
- Exit Global Configuration mode.
SEFOS(config)# end
- Configure the restoration file
name.
| Caution - If you are upgrading
the NEM from the 1.0.x.x version,
you must complete Step 7 (disabling the incremental-save
feature) to save the configuration correctly before upgrading. |
- Enter Global Configuration
mode.
SEFOS# configure terminal
- Configure a configuration restoration
file name for the NEM.
SEFOS(config)# default restore-file myconfig.conf
- Exit Global Configuration mode.
SEFOS(config)# end
- Disable the incremental save
feature.
SEFOS# configure terminal
SEFOS(config)# incremental-save disable
SEFOS(config)# end
- Save the current configuration
for restoration.
SEFOS# write startup-config
- Copy the configuration file to
a remote location.
SEFOS# copy startup-config tftp://12.0.0.100/switch.conf
- Exit and restart the NEM.
Note - The NEM might currently be low on memory. The restart
frees up memory for a more reliable upgrade.
SEFOS# exit
-> reset /SP
Are you sure you want to reset /SP y
Performing reset on /SP
- Log in and save the current configuration
again before starting the upgrade.
SEFOS# write startup-config
SEFOS# copy startup-config tftp://12.0.0.100/switch.conf
