Upgrading the Image on a FIPS Enabled System

This procedure assumes that the FIPS feature is already installed on the system. If the FIPS feature set on your system expires, you must install a valid FIPS feature. For more information on installing a FIPS feature set, see "Installing a FIPS Feature Set".

The following are required to install the FIPS feature set:
  • SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) client with access to the target Acme Packet platform.
  • SFTP access to the target Acme Packet platform's management IP address.
  • Access to the FIPS software image to which you are upgrading.

Note:

You must follow this procedure on a running device:
  1. Use SFTP to transfer <release>.bz into /boot on the target Acme Packet platform.
  2. Verify the correct image file has been uploaded. The following is an example of how to verify the image:
    sd225v# check-boot-file /boot/nnECZ750b4.bz
    Verifying signature of /boot/<release>.bz
    Version: Acme Packet ECZ7.5.0 Beta 4 (WS Build 48) 201705130547
    Image integrity verification passed
    
  3. Replace the boot file with the newly uploaded image. The following is an example of how to replace the boot file:
    sd225v# set-boot-file /boot/<release>.bz
    Verifying signature of /boot/<release>.bz
    Version: Acme Packet <release> Beta 4 (WS Build 48) 201705130547
    old boot file /boot/bzImage being replaced with /boot/<release>.bz
    
  4. Execute the reboot force command to reboot the system.
    sd225v# reboot force
