DIAG OS installation or update

Use this procdure to install or update the DIAG OS. This procedure is a firmware upgrade.

1. Enter the onie-discovery-stop command to stop ONIE Discovery mode.
2. Assign an IP address to the management interface and verify the network connectivity.

   ONIE:/ # ifconfig eth0 xx.xx.xx.xx netmask xxx.xxx.x.x up
   ONIE:/ # ifconfig
   eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 34:17:EB:05:B4:00
             inet addr:xx.xx.xx.xx  Bcast:xx.xx.xxx.xxx  Mask:xxx.xxx.x.x
             inet6 addr: fe80::3617:ebff:fe05:b400/64 Scope:Link
             UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

             TX packets:31 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

             Memory:dff40000-dff5ffff

3. Upgrade the DIAG Installer.
   NOTE:In Install mode, the DIAG-OS installation removes any existing NOS and DIAG-OS partition. If you do not create file /tmp/diag_os_install_mode, the DIAG-OS installs in Upgrade mode. In this case, the installation process does NOT touch any existing NOS.
