Transferring an ISO file via SSH

Last Updated : Mar 27, 2020 |

You can use SFTP/SSH to upload an ISO file directly to a folder on the server. This upload process is typically slow, taking several hours, but reliable.

Before you begin

  • Download the ISO file for the release from the Avaya support site (https://support.avaya.com).

  • Also download any related documentation from the same page as the ISO file.

Procedure

  1. Using an SSH file transfer application, connect to the server. The exact method depends on the application that you are using:
    1. For the host name, use the IP address or FQDN of the server.
    2. For the user name and password details use the Administrator account.
    3. The protocol is SFTP or SSH.
    4. The port is 22.
    5. If this is the first time the application has connected to the server, accept the trusted key.
    6. The default folder displayed after logging in is /home/Administrator. Upload the ISO file to that folder.
  2. Login to web manager on the server.
  3. Click Actions and select Transfer ISO.
  4. Click Transfer from and select Server Path.
  5. In the File path, enter the path to the uploaded ISO file. For example /home/Administrator/abe-11.1.0.227_el6.iso.
  6. The menu displays the progress of the file transfer.

Result

When the transfer has completed, the Solution menu displays Upgrade Available. You can now upgrade the servers, see Upgrading using a transferred ISO file.
