9 Blade Maintenance and
Firmware upgrades
This chapter provides information about preserving all existing blade configuration settings
and also installing and updating the firmware loaded on the ATCA-S201 storage services
blade. At manufacturing time, the ATCA carrier is pre-loaded with firmware prior to
shipping. Periodically, new firmware releases are offered to improve the functionality or
performance of the ATCA carrier blade.
9.1 Blade Maintenance
The following section describes how to create a backup of an existing blade
configuration and how to restore this configuration on a replacement blade. The
procedure will record the iSCSI, NAS, volume, and share privileges of all disk storage
connected to the ATCA-S201. Moreover, it will record IP attributes of all fabric, base
and RTM Ethernet ports, as well as any VLAN, bonds or RAID definitions.
9.1.1 Backup your blade configuration
The ATCA-S201 blade software keeps all system configuration data in a single
archive file. This file contains all customizations made by the user over the life of
the blade. Administrators can manually copy this file to a safe location and later
reload the configuration if needed.
The following procedure is a detailed description of the web-based export system
configuration procedure.
