Updating Software Reloading Software C.2.1.1 TCP/IP Before the Server downloads the new software, it will send DHCP, BOOTP, and/or RARP queries (all are enabled by default). Next, the Server will attempt to download the MPS.SYS file using TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol). Note: EZWebCon can also be used to reload software. See the Readme in the EZWebCon directory on the distribution CD-ROM. If a host provides DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP support, it can be used to set the Server IP address (all methods) and loadhost information (BOOTP and RARP only). Add the Server name, IP address, hardware address, and download path and filename to the appropriate host file (usually /etc/bootptab). Some BOOTP and TFTP implementations require a specific directory for the MPS.SYS file; in this case the path should not be specified in bootptab. See your host's documentation for instructions on how to configure the MPS.SYS file in a directory. If BOOTP cannot be used to configure the Server IP parameters, manually configure them using the following commands.

When attempting to boot across an IP router, you must configure the router to proxy-ARP for the Server, or use the bootgateway feature. For more information, see Define Bootgateway in the Commands chapter. C.2.1.2 NetWare The MPS.SYS file should be placed in the login directory on the NetWare file server. The Server cannot actually log into the file server (since it knows no username/password); it can only access files in the login directory itself. On the Server, specify the file server name, filename, and path.

Make sure the service characteristic is enabled on the host's Ethernet circuit, copy the MPS.SYS file to the MOM$LOAD directory, and reload the Server using the Initialize Reload command. Note: If an error message is displayed indicating an invalid record size on the VAX console, re-transfer the MPS.SYS file in binary mode. C-7

C.2.1.1
TCP/IP
Before the Server downloads the new software, it will send DHCP, BOOTP, and/or RARP queries (all are
enabled by default). Next, the Server will attempt to download the MPS.SYS file using TFTP (Trivial File
Transfer Protocol).
Note:
EZWebCon can also be used to reload software. See the Readme in the
EZWebCon directory on the distribution CD-ROM.
If a host provides DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP support, it can be used to set the Server IP address (all methods)
and loadhost information (BOOTP and RARP only). Add the Server name, IP address, hardware address,
and download path and filename to the appropriate host file (usually
/etc/bootptab
).
Some BOOTP and TFTP implementations require a specific directory for the MPS.SYS file; in this case the
path should not be specified in bootptab. See your host’s documentation for instructions on how to configure
the MPS.SYS file in a directory.
If BOOTP cannot be used to configure the Server IP parameters, manually configure them using the
following commands.
Figure C-2:
Configuring TCP/IP Reload
The path and filename are case-sensitive and must be enclosed in quotation marks. When attempting to boot
across an IP router, you must configure the router to proxy-ARP for the Server, or use the bootgateway
feature. For more information, see
Define Bootgateway
in the
Commands
chapter.
C.2.1.2
NetWare
The MPS.SYS file should be placed in the login directory on the NetWare file server. The Server cannot
actually log into the file server (since it knows no username/password); it can only access files in the login
directory itself. On the Server, specify the file server name, filename, and path.
Figure C-3:
Configuring NetWare Reload
C.2.1.3
MOP
The MPS.SYS filename is the only parameter that the Server needs to reload via MOP. Make sure the
service characteristic is enabled on the host's Ethernet circuit, copy the MPS.SYS file to the MOM$LOAD
directory, and reload the Server using the
Initialize Reload
command.
Note:
If an error message is displayed indicating an invalid record size on the VAX
console, re-transfer the MPS.SYS file in binary mode.
