Upgrade the MDR firmware as outlined above.
Upgrading the MDR host software
When upgrading the MDR firmware, it is required to also upgrade the MDR host soft-
ware for all the platforms that are used. When connecting, the MDR software performs a
version consistency check. If the MDR firmware is updated but not the MDR host soft-
ware then the MDR host software (MDR Shell or user’s program using the MDR API)
will not connect to the MDR Server and exit with an error.
Follow the steps below to replace the old MDR host software with the new version.
1. Locate the directory where the old MDR host software has been installed. For in-
stance,
/usr/mdr-host-sw/bin/sun-solaris if the selected platform is sun-
solaris
and the MDR root directory is /usr.
2. On the VMETRO Software Products CD-ROM, locate the MDR host software bi-
nary file. This file can be found in
mdr-host-sw/bin/<platform> and is called
mdrshell (or mdrshell.exe for the x86-win32 platform).
3. Replace the old MDR host software binary file on your host computer with the new
file found on the VMETRO Software Products CD-ROM.
4. If required, replace the old MDR host software library file(s) on your host computer
with the new file(s) found on the VMETRO Software Products CD-ROM. The new
library file(s) can be found in
mdr-host-sw/lib/<platform> on the VMETRO
Software Products CD-ROM.
5. Set up the environment variables according to your platform:
•
MDR_BASE should be set to your local MDR base directory for all the platforms
• LD_LIBRARY_PATH should contain the path to the <mdr-base-dir>/lib/sun-
solaris/.libs
directory for sun-solaris.
6. Execute the new MDR host software and try to connect to the MDR.
