a daemon to support a remote shell (RSH). Firmware download is via RCP command running on top of TCP

between the switch and the host.

To download the firmware, perform the following steps:

1. Run the setup.exe file on the Dell PowerVault™ Utilities Diskette to install the rshd.exe and cat.exe

utility files on the hard disk.

2. Click Start and then click Programs.

3. In the program list, click Dell OpenManage™ PowerVault™ Manager—> PowerVault™ 50F Utilities

—> rshd.

The remote shell daemon starts. The cat.exe is run from the rshd.exe file

4. After rshd.exe completes the download, stop rshd.exe by pressing <Ctrl-C>. To minimize any security

exposure, the remote shell daemon should be terminated.

5. Start a Telnet session to a switch. The command format is:

telnet [switch IP address]

6. Log in as "admin."

Issue the following command:

flashDownload ["host name/IP address"], ["user name"], ["filename"]

For example:

=> flashDownload "192.111.2.1", "johns", "/tmp/os/v1.6"

NOTE: The host name is the host name or is the host IP address, the username is a valid host username, and the

file name is a path to the new firmware file,

7. The RSH server validates the user and delivers the file to the switch where it is stored in flash memory,

as shown.

writing flash 1 .......................

8. Reboot the switch to initiate the new firmware.
