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.  

 

Step 2. 

Navigate to the Maintenance menu.  Click the ‘Export’ button.   

Step 3. 

Acknowledge the popup window to confirm and commence the export.  

The action will create a backup file on the host which can be later imported.
