Two types of Cache Engine software files are available to download from Cisco Connection Online (CCO), files with the .pax suffix and files with the .bin suffix. The .pax file contains the full-image software with the GUI and is the file routinely installed. The .bin file software is for recovery situations that require booting from the network, or restoring Flash memory. Refer to the section, "Recovering the Cache Engine System Software," in the latest Cisco Cache Engine User Guide for instructions on loading your system image with the .bin file.
Step 2 Log on to the Cache Engine, and at the command prompt enter:
install filename
where filename is the full name of the .pax file.
Step 3 Follow the CLI instructions as prompted.
Step 4 After the Cache Engine has rebooted, use the show version command to display the current
software version.
The following procedure describes how to upgrade the Cache Engine system software and optionally change the boot parameters.
Step 2 From the Windows NT or UNIX machine, use FTP to put the new image file (for example, ce500-200.pax) in the Cache Engine /local directory.
If you are using a command line FTP client, perform the following substeps to put the .pax file on the Cache Engine. In the example, the Cache Engine IP address is 192.168.88.89:
a. At the command line of your Window NT or UNIX host, enter:
ftp 192.168.88.89
b. Enter the Cache Engine user login and password when prompted.
c. The default FTP directory of the Cache Engine should be /local. Use the cd command as follows to make sure that you are in the /local directory of the Cache Engine:
cd /local
d. Set the FTP client to binary transfer mode:
bin
e. Put the .pax file on the Cache Engine. For example, if the upgrade software filename is ce500-200.pax, enter:
put ce500-200.pax
Step 3 Log on to the Cache Engine through the console port.
 |
Note Upgrading software can be done through Telnet, but the connection is broken when the Cache Engine reboots. |
Step 4 At the Cache Engine command prompt, enter install to install the image files. For example, if the filename is ce550-210.pax, enter:
console# install ce550-210.pax Extracting . Extracting ./imgname.txt Extracting ./etc Extracting ./etc/boot ... (etc) Extracting ./lib/gui/snmp Extracting ./lib/gui/snmp/CISCO-CACHEENGINE-MIB.my Extracting ./lib/gui/snmp/CISCO-SMI.my Extracting ./[image_name].bin.dbg.cus1 File extraction done. ce25.pax: installation is complete. Copy new image '[image_name].bin' to flash memory?[no]: y Erasing Programming erasing program image sector. 100% complete... You may type [reload] to reboot your box now
|
Note Be sure to copy the new image to Flash memory. The Cache Engine will not run the updated software version until the image is stored in memory and you reboot the system. If you choose not to copy the image to Flash memory when prompted, you can do so later by entering copy diskflash filename, where filename is the name of the image file. |
Step 5 From the Cache Engine console, enter reload to reboot the Cache Engine:
console# reload Proceed with reload? [confirm] y 303949 bytes copying bootagent boot start: 0x7fee000 starting new system - entry 0x8010 0x7dc8800 (tCallback0): NCR810_ Press any key to stop auto-boot...
|
Note If you have not saved your most recent configuration to Flash memory (NVRAM), you will be asked to do so before rebooting the Cache Engine. |
If you want to stop the auto-boot process to change default boot parameters, perform the following steps (console connection only):
|
Note In the example, the Cache Engine boot device parameter is changed from net to flash. |
a. Press any key during the auto-boot sequence.
b. Enter c at the prompt to change the auto-boot settings.
c. At the boot device prompt, enter flash.
d. At the filename prompt, press Ctrl-D to quit the change-default-boot-parameter sequence.
e. At the console prompt, enter @.
Press any key to stop auto-boot... [CE500 Series]: c '.' = clear field; '-' = go to previous field; ^D = quit boot device (flash,net) [ net]: flash filename [ ]: ^D . . [CE500 Series]: @
Step 6 When the boot process is complete, verify the software version with the show version command:
