2 General Description

This document defines the step-by-step actions performed to execute a software upgrade of an in-service EAGLE® STP from the source release to the target release.

The following figure shows the general steps for all processes of performing a software upgrade from hardware inventory to final upgrade health check.

Figure 2-1 Upgrade Process

The following table lists the steps required to successfully complete the upgrade process.

During the software upgrade execution, phase flags are displayed in the output messages to indicate upgrade progress. The output messages shown in this document are for example purposes only and do not display upgrade phase values unless a specific request to verify the phase is given, i.e., Procedure 6, step 15. The goal in doing this is to make this document describe the generic upgrade procedure.

The following table lists the phase flags displayed during the upgrade process. These flags are used to indicate the progress made by the upgrade function. The internal upgrade processing, which is initiated by the activate-upgrade command, controls these flags.
