[j-nsp] ERX software upgrades

[Paul Stewart]

Hi folks.

 

I'm doing my first ERX based software upgrade on a lab box.  Reading through
the docs, I have finally figured out the steps involved and how to use FTP
to upload the files etc.

 

In one of the steps it says:

 

Task 7: Identify the Files to Transfer

To identify all the files for the release, open the software release (.rel)
file

on the ERX software CD with a text editor. The software release file

contains a list of all the files associated with the release. You must
transfer

the software release file and all the files it contains to the user space.

 

When I open up the 1Gig+ zip file I find the actual .rel file.  It has a
huge list of files to select from.  How do I know which files I need?  This
is an ERX-310 with an 8 port HDE card...    towards the bottom of the text
file there is a series of "subsystem" sections.  One of them says "required"
and then the other sections are named similar to that of modules we could
have installed (but don't such as OC-12).

 

So I'm thinking we need to transfer these files up to the box - am I on the
right track?  I would just upload all of them but there's not enough space
on the system to hold an image (it's over 1 Gig and the flash is only 1 Gig)
