Upgrading the System Software on a C Series Controller

You can upgrade all the system software or the software changes for an SRC component. If an image file (from which you upgrade) contains updates for all components or a number of components, you specify which component to upgrade if you do not want to upgrade all components.

For ease of use, you can manage upgrades for a number of C Series Controllers by copying a complete CD image file to be used for an upgrade to an FTP site in your network. You then upgrade each system by using the files on the FTP site. Alternatively, you can copy the complete CD image to a USB drive and install from there.

Enter the request system upgrade command.


                  
                     user@host> request system upgrade url url

where url is one of the following:

ftp://host/path—Path on an FTP site or on the local system
usb:—Local USB disk

For example:

user@host> request system upgrade url ftp://myserver/SRC PE-3.0.0R1
