Software Upgrade Process For Alcatel Lucent Switch (AOS-8)

This is specifically for  AOS-8 series Omniswitch.(10K-6900-6860)

Your software upgrade file should have a Image file.

1.               Take a copy of your working directory so you have a backup of the current code:

-> cp -r working working_prev 

2.               Place the new image file in your working directory

-> scp user@host:Tos.img ./working 

3.               Copy the other two files (if they exist) into the current directory

-> scp user@host:u-boot.tar.gz .
-> scp user@host:tor_fpgas.vme . 

4.               Upgrade the U-Boot file (if the file exists)

-> update uboot cmm 1 file u-boot.x.x.tar.gz 

5.               Upgrade the fpga (if the file exists)

-> update fpga cmm 1 file tor_fpgas.vme 

6.               You can now remove the u-boot and fpga files

-> rm u-boot.x.x.tar.gz
-> rm tor_fpgas.vme 

7.               Upgrade the switch software by rebooting the switch from the working directory

-> reload from working no rollback-timeout 

8.               Check the software version after reboot

-> show microcode
/flash/certified Package           Release                 Size     Description
-----------------+-------------------------+--------+-----------------------
Tos.img                        8.5.R04             126642216 Alcatel-Lucent OS

9.               If all looks well after the reboot you can copy the current config/software to the certified config

-> copy running certified 

10.            If all doesn't look well you can always revert to the previous version in your copy of the working directory

-> cp -r working_prev working
-> reload from working no rollback-timeout
