Goal

Provide the syntax and example on how to upgrade an appliance via cli (aksh) and update the appliance from a local share on the appliance

Solution

Upload the appliance software to a local share on the appliance

Once the new software image is on the appliance...

-login to the SP and find the image on the share

-make sure that the ftp service is running (or http if using that protocol)
-set the share permissions and allow root access
nasbox:configuration services> ftp enable
nasbox:configuration services ftp> set root_login=true
                    root_login = true (uncommitted)
nasbox:configuration services ftp> commit
nasbox:shares (pool-0) test> set sharesftp=rw (or ro)
                     sharesftp = rw (uncommitted)

-now setup the appliance to get the update image via ftp (or http)
-you can use localhost,loopback, or an actual IP, here we use loopback
nasbox:> maintenance system updates download
nasbox:maintenance system updates download (uncommitted)> set url=ftp://127.0.0.1/export/nas2test/ak-nas-2010-02-09-3-0-1-1-19-nd.pkg.gz
                           url = ftp://127.0.0.1/export/nas2test/ak-nas-2010-02-09-3-0-1-1-19-nd.pkg.gz
nasbox:maintenance system updates download (uncommitted)> set user=root
                          user = root

NOTE: the initial password entry is plain text
nasbox:maintenance system updates download (uncommitted)> set password=changeme
                      password = ********
nasbox:maintenance system updates download (uncommitted)> commit
