Installing and upgrading TPVM

This task performs a basic installation, removal, and re-installation of TPVM.

1. Switch to the Linux shell from the SLX-OS CLI.
   

   device# start-shell

2. Enter the Linux admin user shell.
   

   [admUser@SLX]# su
   password: <password>

   The default password is "fibranne".

3. Remove the existing TPVM package at the following path in the device's SLX-OS VM, at the Linux shell login prompt.
   

   [admUser@SLX]# rm -rf /tftpboot/SWBD2900/vm-swbd2900-*.deb

4. Using SCP or FTP, copy the new TPVM package that is compatible with the SLX-OS release from the release server, and copy it to the SLX-OS VM /tftpboot/SWBD2900/ folder.
5. Return to the SLX-OS CLI shell.
   

   root# exit
   admin# exit

6. Stop TPVM if it is running.
   

   device# tpvm stop
   

7. Uninstall existing TPVM firmware.
   

   device# tpvm uninstall
   

8. Re-install appropriate TPVM firmware.
   

   device# tpvm install
   

   Once the new TPVM image is running, you can download user-specific applications by copying them to the TPVM partition and starting them manually.
