Copying the software distribution

Copy the downloaded files from your workstation to the Linux server on which you are installing vSLX, and list them.

1. On the Linux server, create an SLX distribution directory and change to it.
   

   user@ubuntu:~$ sudo mkdir /slxos-dist
   user@ubuntu:~$ cd /slxos-dist

   

   Note

   For multiple SLX-OS versions, use a separate directory for each version of SLX-OS.
2. Use the scp command to copy the compressed distribution files from your workstation to the slxos-dist directory on the Linux server; then list them.
   

   Note

   The file names in this flow are for release 17r.2.00. Substitute the names of the actual files you downloaded in Download vSLX software.
   

   user@ubuntu:/slxos-dist$ sudo scp user@192.0.2.0:/home/user/work/vslx-rel/vslx2.0.0.tar.gz .
   user@ubuntu:/slxos-dist$ sudo scp user@192.0.2.0:/home/user/work/vslx-rel/slxos17r.2.00.tar.gz .
   user@ubuntu:/slxos-dist$ ls
   slxos17r.2.00.tar.gz  vslx2.0.0.tar.gz

3. Unpack the SLX-OS distribution and then display the contents of the slxos-dist directory.
   

   user@ubuntu:/slxos-dist$ sudo tar -zxf slxos17r.2.00.tar.gz
   user@ubuntu:/slxos-dist$ ls
   slxos17r.2.00  slxos17r.2.00.tar.gz  vslx2.0.0.tar.gz

4. Display the contents of the release directory (for example, slxos17r.2.00).
   

   user@ubuntu:/slxos-dist$ ls slxos17r.2.00  
   app_names                        onie-host-installer      SWBD2001

   install_cr                       signature2.tar           SWBD4000
   install_pbr                      signature2.tar.sig       vnos-deinstall
   install_verify                   signature.tar            vnos-install
   libbrcmsdk.a.SWBD2000.tgz        signature.tar.sig        vslx-utils_1.0.0.deb
   libbrcmsdk.a.SWBD2016.tgz        slx17r200_yang.tar.gz
   libbrcmsdk.a.SWBD4000.tgz        SWBD2000
   

5. Unpack the vSLX distribution and then display the contents of the slxos-dist directory.
   

   user@ubuntu:/slxos-dist$ sudo tar -zxf vslx2.0.0.tar.gz
   user@ubuntu:/slxos-dist$ ls
   extreme-lxc_2.0.0.deb  slxos17r.2.00  slxos17r.2.00.tar.gz  vslx2.0.0.tar.gz  vslx_2.0.0.deb
