Tracy,
I have upgraded 15 remote boxes using VERY non-technical people
through the console.
The upgrade went perfect. I did each one with myself on the other line.
Before I had them do the upgrade I copied all the necessary files
(nkipflash.bin to /etc) to the box
and emailed them the procedures on what to do.
I then showed them how to create a Hyperterminal session.
They then copied and pasted the commands.
After the boot manger was upgraded I did the rest remotly.
Using SSH for a remote command session and SSL for the Voyager
Here is a sample of what I emailed them.
(Step 1: Type the following.)
Console into NOKIA
(Step 2: Type the following.)
> sync; reboot (Press Enter)
(Step 3: When it is rebooting, you will see this.)
> Verifying DMI Pool Data
> 1 . . . Bootmgr
> 2 . . . IPSO
> Default: 1
(When you see the following message, press any key to enter the command
mode.)
> Loading boot manager..Bootmgr loaded.
> Entering autoboot mode. Type any character to enter command
(You will then see this; BOOTMGR[0]> )
(Step 4: Type the following.)
> boot -s (Press Enter)
(Step 5: When you see the following message, press RETURN or ENTER key)
> Enter pathname of shell or RETURN for sh:
(Step 6: Type the following.)
> /etc/upgrade_bootmgr wd0 /etc/nkipflash.bin (Press Enter)
(Type Y to continue)
> reboot (Press Enter)
(Step 7: When it is rebooting, you will see this.)
> Verifying DMI Pool Data
> 1 . . . Bootmgr
> 2 . . . IPSO
> Default: 1
(When you see the following message, press any key to enter the command
mode. )
> Loading boot manager..Bootmgr loaded.
> Entering autoboot mode. Type any character to enter command
(You will then see this; BOOTMGR[0]> )
(Step 8: Type the following.)
> set-defaults (Press Enter)
(Step 9: Type the following.)
> printenv (Press Enter)
(You should now see somthing in the first line that states this: base
kernel=3.4-fcs1 )
( See example below)
> Bootmgr Revision: 3.3,base kernel=3.4-fcs1 02.12.2001.102644
> autoboot: YES
> bootwait: 5
> boot-file: /image/current/kernel
> boot-flags:
> boot-device: wd0
(Step 10: Type the following.)
> halt (Press Enter)
(Press any key to reboot)
I hope this helps

Subject: [FW1] IPSO boot manager upgrade on IP300 Series
Hi,
I have recently upgraded my Nokia IP440's to IPSO v3.3 with no problems. I
now
need to upgrade my Nokia IP330's to IPSO v3.3 which requires a boot manager
upgrade at the console. Here's the rub... These boxes are remotely located
and
I am going to be walking fairly non-technical people through the console
part of
the upgrade. The instructions are pretty straightforward, but I was
wondering
if anyone has had any bad experiences with this that I should be aware of.
Thanks, Tracy
