located in the /tftpboot/SWBD2900 directory. Use the
snapshot key to indicate that a snapshot must be taken during
the upgrade process. The tpvm key value

Modes
Privileged
EXEC mode
tpvm upgrade is an exec CLI.
The new TPVM
debian image file is downloaded in the
/tftpboot/SWBD2900 directory. If
any previous image file was there, it is moved to the
/support/OldTpvm
directory, if enough space is there.
Note
The
snapshot feature may
delete this subfolder
/support/OldTpvm in order to free space, if
required.
During download of the file, if any TPVM is running, it
is not disturbed till successful download completion. After that the previously
running TPVM (if any) is stopped and uninstalled. If the snapshot
parameter is passed in the CLI, then its snapshot is created too. the download may
fail due to networking or not enough free space like issues.
If SLX OS
configuration database is having TPVM configurations set, specially config
deploy, then upgrade process shall further install and
start new TPVM debian image file and also apply other TPVM related persisted
configurations from the SLX configuration database.
