3. Connect the Laptop to the VMA32xx Array. Two communication links between the Laptop

and the VMA Array will be used during the firmware upgrade; a serial link and a direct

connect Ethernet link.

Array to be upgraded.

5. Transfer the new VMA firmware file to the array.

6. Run the upgrade command on the VMA array and reboot.

7. Verify the new firmware is installed on the VMA Array.

Requirements for setting up the laptop

• A laptop or Maintenance System running Windows; for process examples in this document,

Windows 7 is used. Hereafter, either the laptop or the maintenance system used in the upgrade

process is referred to as ‘Laptop’.

• A serial terminal emulation program to access the serial command line interface (CLI) of the

VMA32xx Array. PuTTY from http://www.putty.org is a good choice and is used for examples

within this process document.

• An SCP utility to transfer the array firmware, .upg file, from the Laptop to the VMA32xx

array. Process examples in this document use PSCP from the PuTTY install package that can

be found at http://www.putty.org.

• A serial null modem cable (length dependent on proximity of Laptop to the array). If your

Laptop does not have a serial port, a USB to serial converter with a Female-to-Female serial

null modem cable can be used instead.
