Activating the release
This procedure explains how to use the activate command to make the release you just transferred to the
node the current running release. This procedure assumes you have an active CLI/serial connection to the
active BIO/SC module.
1. Enter the following commands to enter Global Configuration Mode in the CLI:
AIRVANA-03>enable
AIRVANA-03#configure
2. Enter the following command to reset the node using the software release you just transferred to the
node:
AIRVANA-03(config)#activate image <release> reboot
Where <release> is the filename of the release that was transferred to the node.
For example:
AIRVANA-03(config)#activate image rn.2.0.0.tar reboot
This command:
• Copies the previous release (rn.2.0.0.tar) into the disk0:/backup directory
• Extracts the rn.2.0.0.0.tar release into the disk0:/active directory
• Reboots the node using the 2.0.0.0 release
This step takes about four minutes to complete.
This procedure is complete. Go to Chapter 12,
Running the commissioning script.
NOTE
If you also need to update the boot code, add the updateboot
switch to the command as follows:
activate image <release> reboot updateboot.
