3.2.2.24 Loading Firmware from a BOOTP Server
The fwupgrade command has been modified to allow the specified firmware update
image to be loaded from a BOOTP server in a connected network. This process must
use the bootpd daemon.
Create a symbolic link from the shipping location of bootpd to the expected location:
# ln -s /usr/opt/obsolete/usr/sbin/bootpd /usr/sbin/bootp
You must manually create the bootptab file on the server. The following is an example
of how to set up the bootptab file on the server for this procedure:
# Example bootptab file for BOOTP support
.default1:\
:hd=/install/firmware:\
:sm=255.255.255.0\
:gw=16.69.255.1:
#
tab:tc=.default1:ht=ethernet:ha=08002b86f234:ip=16.69.222.42:
bobafett:tc=.default1:ht=ethernet:ha=0008c73a5a47:ip=16.69.222.48:
#
In this example, the directory /install/firmware was created on the bootp server.
This directory must contain the firmware of the systems to be updated. The file names
must match the entry on the fwupgrade command line. The firmware files must have
read permissions, that is, 444.
You must edit the inetd.conf file so that the file name passed by fwupgrade is
found by the console firmware. Edit the line /etc/inetd.conf file on the bootp
server to look like the following:
tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/tftpd tftp -r /install/firmware
Enable bootpd to start by removing the comment symbol (#) from the beginning of
the line in the /etc/inetd.conf file;
bootps dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/bootpd bootpd
See the fwupgrade(8), bootptab(4), and bootpd(8) reference pages for more information.
3.2.2.25 Changes to tar, pax, and cpio Behavior
When extracting or listing an archive using the tar, pax, or cpio commands, specifying
a slash (/) at the end of argument will cause the command to act upon the directory
and not the contents in the directory. For example:
# tar xvf filename.tar dir1/
