Step 1 Save your current configuration.
node-prompt> ll "C:/CNF"

512 APR-08-1999 08:16:18 .. <DIR>

In the file system :
total space : 819200 K bytes free space : 787787 K bytes
Step 3 On the workstation, upload the saved configuration to the workstation:
unix-prompt> tftp <shelf.ip.address>
tftp> bin
tftp> get CNF/NODENAME_0409990528.zip Received 45433 bytes in 0.4 seconds
Step 4 Download the release to upgrade PXM Backup boot image to the PXM. For example:
unix-prompt> tftp <node_name or IP address>
tftp> bin
tftp> put pxm_bkup_<new_rel>.fw [email protected] tftp> quit
Step 5 Download the release to upgrade PXM runtime image to the PXM. For example:
tftp> <node_name or IP address>
tftp> bin
tftp> put pxm_<new_rel>.fw [email protected] tftp> quit
Step 6 Download the ComMat.dat file to the C:/FW directory of the Active PXM. Enter the TFTP put command:
tftp <node_name or IP address>
tftp> bin
tftp> put ComMat.dat tftp> quit
Step 7 On the PXM type the following when the transfer is done:
PXM.a> copy ComMat.dat /FW/ComMat.dat
Step 8 Enter install bt <new_rel>.
Step 9 Enter install <new_rel>. At the end of the display, enter yes.
PXM.a> install <new_rel>
redundancy is not available the other card is not available you are not in redundant mode,
do you want to try an ungraceful upgrade (yes or no)?yes
This section applies to upgrades from 1.1.23 and all later releases.
Caution Do not remove old firmware until the upgrade is done.
Note First you must ensure that the shelf IP address and the PXM IP address are set. The PXM must have its own unique IP address and there must be a another unique IP address for the shelf.
Step 1 Save your current configuration.

Step 2 Get the filename by listing the CNF directory:
node-prompt> ll "C:/CNF"
size date time name --- ---
512 APR-08-1999 08:16:18 . <DIR>
512 APR-08-1999 08:16:18 .. <DIR>
512 APR-09-1999 05:26:42 TMP <DIR>
45433 APR-09-1999 05:28:42 NODENAME_0409990528.zip 45433 APR-09-1999 05:28:42 NODENAME.zip
In the file system :
total space : 819200 K bytes free space : 787787 K bytes
Step 3 On the workstation, upload the saved configuration to the workstation:
unix-prompt> tftp <shelf.ip.address>
tftp> bin
tftp> get CNF/NODENAME_0409990528.zip Received 45433 bytes in 0.4 seconds
Step 4 Verify that one PXM is Active and the other Standby.
Step 5 From the workstation, download the PXM Backup boot image.
unix-prompt> tftp <pxm.ip.address>
tftp> bin
tftp> put pxm_bkup_<new_rel>.fw [email protected] tftp> quit
Step 6 From the workstation, download the PXM FW.
unix-prompt> tftp <pxm.ip.address>
tftp> bin
tftp> put pxm_<new_rel>.fw [email protected] Sent 1982672 bytes in 18.3 seconds
Make sure that the transfer is successful by looking at the message displayed on the PXM console after the transfer:
Note Bytes sent, program length, and receive time vary per release. Also, see the Compatibility Matrixes for current file sizes and file names.
Step 7 Download the ComMat.dat file to the C:/FW directory of the Active PXM. Enter the TFTP put command:
unix-prompt> tftp <node_name or IP address>
tftp> bin
tftp> put ComMat.dat tftp> quit
Step 8 After the transfer is done, type the following on the PXM:
PXM.a> copy ComMat.dat /FW/ComMat.dat Step 9 Enter the command install bt <new_rel>.
Step 10 Enter the command install <new_rel>.
Step 11 After the Standby card is reset and successfully enters the hold state, on the Active PXM, enter the command newrev <new_rel>.
The Active card will be reset and go to hold state.
After the newrev, enter the command dspcd to show the firmware revision on the new, active PXM.
Caution If at this stage (after newrev) the upgrade needs to be aborted, follow the instructions under “Instructions to Abort PXM Upgrade, page 51.”
During the graceful upgrade procedure, if after the newrev command the non-active card enters the
“MISMATCH” state, do the normal commit command. You will get a warning message:
other card not found,
do you still want to complete the commit operation Answer yes and then reset the non-active card.
If you get the MISMATCH during the upgrade process, after you finish, you will still have the MISMATCH. To correct the mismatch, you must check your back cards; they must be identical.
Step 12 After the Active PXM is reset and successfully enters the hold state, on the new Active PXM, enter commit <new_rel>.
Instructions to Abort PXM Upgrade
A graceful downgrade is not supported. However, abort or fallback to the previous release is supported at any stage during the upgrade. The following procedure should be used to abort to a previous release.
