AlterPath Manager contains a firmware repository and supports firmware upgrades for the TS, the ACS and the KVM/net. Each time a new firmware is released for the ACS and TS, Cyclades will release a package for AlterPath Manager to import.The package contains firmware, boot code, release notes, user manual and dependency file. The dependency file is used to ensure you do not load the firmware to the wrong device or perform invalid upgrade operations.Any firmware that you add to the Firmware List form is also reflected in the “Firmware/Boot” pull-down list that appears in the Device Detail form. The next time you create a new device, the system will prompt you to upload the new firmware, as necessary.The last part of this section provides instructions on how to upgrade the AlterPath Manager firmware.
