AlterPath Manager E2000 Upgrade instructions from official versions to V_1.4.1 (Apr/21/2006): 1. Login to the E2000 console port as root. 2. cd /tmp 3. You can skip step 3 if your current version is V_1.3.1 or higher. If your current version is lower than V_1.3.1, do not use the "installimg" from your version otherwise the system will no longer boot. Download the installimg from ftp://ftp.cyclades.com/pub/cyclades/alterpath/apm/e2000/released/V_1.3.1 to /tmp. cp /tmp/installimg /sbin (Note: "cp" will keep the original permissions of /sbin/installimg. If you use "mv", you will need to "chmod 755 /sbin/installimg".) 4. Download the all_e2000_v141.tgz and all_e2000_v141.tgz.md5sum from ftp://ftp.cyclades.com/pub/cyclades/alterpath/apm/e2000/released/V_1.4.1 to /tmp. Note: If you want to make sure the md5sum file is really from Cyclades web site, you can call Cyclades Technical Support and double-check the md5sum value. 5. Do a backup of all filesystems before installing this image, i.e., run the "backup" command. Save this backup file in another system. Note: If you have V_1.4.0-RC1 or earlier, "backup" command may fail with the error "mysqldump: Got error: 2020: Got packet bigger than 'max_allowed_packet' when retrieving data from server". In this case, download "backup" file from ftp://ftp.cyclades.com/pub/cyclades/alterpath/apm/e2000/released/V_1.4.0 to /tmp, then copy the file from /tmp to /sbin: cp /sbin/backup /sbin/backup.original cp /tmp/backup /sbin 6. Run: mke2fs /dev/hdc4 fsck /dev/hdc4 /sbin/installimg all all_e2000_v141.tgz Attention: In case of any errors in step 6, repeat the commands in step 6. If you still have errors, call Cyclades Technical Support. 7. If step 6 was OK, run: reboot 8. After the upgrade, running sysinfo in the shell prompt or clicking the "about" link on the web should display Config Version : V_1.4.1 OS Version : V_1.4.1 (Apr/21/2006) APM Version : V_1.4.1 (04/21/2006) APM Database : V_1.4.1 (2006-04-21) 9. Check if there is no line with "FAILED" in /var/log/conf-V_1.4.1.log (run "grep FAILED /var/log/conf-V_1.4.1.log"). If there is any line with "FAILED", you will need to run "defconf" and reboot the APM to restore the System configuration to the factory default. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Upgrade instructions for beta testers running V_1.2.0-beta: 1.
