10.3.2  

Software Upgrade of IP Workpoints via the System 
 

Notes  
Each of the IP workpoint types supported requires different software (image file).
The image files are usually generated with vxWorks.app. You do not have to rename the image files because the files are assigned a new name when saved on the hard disk on the HiPath Xpressions Compact board.
The HiPath Xpressions Compact board's hard disk has enough space for a number of black-and-white images at once. Only IVMP4 and IVMP4N boards generate an error message when there is not enough space for image files (currently around 200 MB is available).

Procedure  
 1.   The SW images from the new software version are available and are loaded onto the hard disk on the HiPath Xpressions Compact board. A separate DLI-WBM is available for this. The DLI WBM is accessed via
https:// <IP address of the HiPath Xpressions Compact board>/dli.
 2.   The HiPath Xpressions Compact`s internal Deployment service checks whether the software image is available in a valid format. If this is not the case, an appropriate error message is generated for the user by the DLI-WBM.
    Note: A software upgrade is only possible within a main version (example: update from V5.1.0 to V5.3.4).
The HiPath Xpressions Compact`s internal Deployment service does not support main-version upgrades or migrations (software type changes).
 3.   The HiPath Xpressions Compact`s internal Deployment service prompts all registered IP workpoints that are to be equipped with the new software to start software deployment.
 4.   The IP workpoints in question download the software image from the HiPath Xpressions Compact`s internal FTP server and start a reboot.
 5.   After booting, the IP workpoints reregister with the HiPath Xpressions Compact`s internal Deployment service. Based on the registration data, the Deployment service recognizes whether the new software was successfully installed; it then outputs the appropriate message via the DLI-WBM.
You can use Web-based Management to display information on all registered IP workpoints and their software deployment status.
Software cannot be upgraded for SIP-based workpoints.
