1 Update and Installation Procedures
1.1 Notes When Updating and Installing
1. While installing, do not pull out and insert an MC card, and do not turn off and
on the GR2000.
2. Do not execute a ppupdate command in the multiple login condition.
3. Figure 1-1 shows a transfer of a file from a PC. Always use the binary mode when
transferring files by the file transfer protocol (FTP). If the FTP fails, restart the
FTP from the beginning. After transferring files, check if the file transfer is has
terminated normally. Check that the file size displayed with a ls -l command is
equal to that of the file for software update in the CD-ROM. If the file size is not
correct, it is assumed that the file transfer mode is not set in a binary mode or
the capacity of free space in the MC before file transfer is smaller than that of the
file for software update. Enter rm file name to delete the files, then transfer the
update files again.
4. When transferring the files with an FTP, a password must be set for the login
user in advance. If a password is not yet set, an FTP client cannot log into the
GR2000.
5. Transfer files used for update and installation to a place under the /primaryMC/usr/
var/update directory in the GR2000 by the file name of
83'$7(WJ].
C:\WINDOWS> e: (In the case where a CD-ROM is assigned to the E drive)
(?!FG$//
(?!IWS(In the case where the IP address of the *5 is 192.168.1.1)
8VHUQRQHRSHUDWRU(Specifies the login name of the *5.)
Password:******** (Specifies the password.)

IWS!SXW%$'WJ]SULPDU\0&XVUYDUXSGDWH83'$7(WJ]
IWS!E\H
Figure 1-1 Example of Transferring a File from a PC Running Windows95 to Initiate a
MS-DOS prompt.
6. An MC64 is required for installing this version of the software. The MC30 does
not have the capacity for this installation.
7. When making an update to the primary MC of the standby system, the standby
system will automatically start, resulting in the following log being taken on the
active system:
(50)DWDOHUURULVGHWHFWHGRQPDWHV\VWHP
Do not consider this a problem.
8. Before performing update, execute an ls /usr/var/core command to make sure that
no program dump file is present in the /usr/var/core directory. If a program dump
file is present in this directory, send this file to your service representative. The
service representative in turn sends it to his support center. After sending the
file, execute an rm /usr/var/core/* to delete the file and secure a capacity of free
space in the MC, and then perform update.
9. Once you log in to a GR2000 from a management terminal with a telnet or rlogin
and execute a ppupdate command, do not break the telnet or rlogin connection
from the terminal side until the ppupdate command terminates and the command
prompt returns, or until the connection is broken from the GR2000 by an
S-9181-31X 1
Page 12
Routing Software 06-02 (OS3) Installation Guide
automatic restart. If the connection is broken, the ppupdate command does not
terminate to fail in updating, and restoration of the GR2000 may be disabled.
10. If a message "
,QYDOLGFRQWHQWVRI83'$7(WJ]" is displayed while executing
ppupdate command, follow the instructions below:
Transfer the update file again to the user’s home directory, then execute
command cmp ~/UPDATE.tgz /primaryMC/usr/var/update/UPDATE.tgz to compare
files.
If the command completes without displaying any messages, execute the
ppupdate command again.
If some error messages are displayed before the cmp command completes,
execute cp ~/UPDATE.tgz /primaryMC/usr/var/update/UPDATE.tgz and then execute
the ppupdate command again.
2 Updating Software
The update procedure varies with the configuration of the GR2000 in current use.
Use the files listed in Table 2-1 to update the software. In addition, check the
configuration of the RM and MC card, and then update software by a procedure
suitable for the configuration in Table 2-2.
