3.0 Upgrading the COS Software Using the COS Software Patch

If you are upgrading your COS system from a previously configured COS

release, you do not need to use the full system software. Instead, you can use

the COS upgrade patch.

NOTE: cos-upgradepack-ocode-A*-2.1.0-3-2.3.2-1.shar.gz is the upgrade pack

that enables you to upgrade from 2.1.x to this release.

To upgrade the COS software using the COS software patch, complete

the following:

1. Login to your COS system console port as root.

2. Change to the root directory, using the following command:

cd /root

3. Create a directory, using the following command:

mkdir cos-upgradepack-x.x.x-x

Where x.x.x.-x, is the current software version. For this release the x

sequence is 2.3.2-1.

4. FTP or copy the file called cos-upgradepack-ocode-AZZZ-Y.Y.Y-Y-X.X.X-

X.shar.gz from your COS System Software CDROM or software

package to the /root/cos-upgradepack-x.x.x-x directory.

5. Change the directory to cos-upgradepack-x.x.x-x, using the following

command:

cd cos-upgradepack-X.X.X-X

6. Enter the following command at the root prompt:

gzip -d cos-upgradepack-ocode-AZZZ-Y.Y.Y-Y-X.X.X-

X.shar.gz

chmod 700 cos-upgradepack-ocode-AZZZ-Y.Y.Y-Y-X.X.X-

the root prompt:
