Using the CTPView Server Software to Update CTPOS (CTPView)
You can use the CTPView software to distribute and install CTPOS update archive files on the CTP platforms in your network.
Upgrading to CTPOS 7.3R7 on a dual image flash system is not supported.
To update CTPOS:
- Installing CTPOS 9.1R3.1 Dual Image on CTP Device using CTPView
- Installing CTPOS 9.1R3.4 Dual Image on CTP Device using CTPView
Installing CTPOS 9.1R3.1 Dual Image on CTP Device using CTPView
Starting in CTPOS Release 9.1R3.1, you can upgrade or install your CTP device with dual image.
To install dual image using CTPView:
For CTP2000/CTP150, the figures and illustrations are similar. So, we have used only CTP2000 device as a reference.
The steps for upgrading CTP151 are the same. The only difference being the ’image archive’ to be used.
You may manage a CTP device running CTPOS 7.3R7 or higher version using CTPView 9.1R3.1. However, upgrading to a higher version of CTPOS 7.3 is not supported using CTPView 9.1R3.1. In such a scenario, to upgrade the CTP device, use the corresponding version of CTPView.
Launch CTPView software in your CTP device and ensure that a valid CTPOS is running.
After connecting the host In the CTPView GUI, go to Node > Maintenance and click Upgrade CTP Software under CTP commands head.
The Upgrade CTP Software screen is displayed.
Select an acorn archive from the dropdown list to upgrade as per the running release of the CTP node
In case of CTP-150 and CTP-2000 running with 9.x release, archive to be used for upgrading would be “acorn_310_dual_image_upgrade_ctp150_ctp2k-02_-03_211221.tgz”.
In case of CTP-151 running with 9.1R1 or 9.1R2 release, archive to be used for upgrading would be “acorn_310_dual_image_upgrade_ctp151_211221.tgz”.
In case of CTP-150 and CTP-2000 running with 7.3 release, archive to be used for upgrading would be “acorn_429_dual_image_upgrade_ctp150_ctp2k-02_-03_211221.tgz”.
Figure 1: For CTP150 or CTP2000 Series Device
Select the host for the upgrade from the dropdown list.
Figure 2: For CTP150 or CTP2000 Series Device
Click Upgrade CTP(s) to start the upgrade.
Figure 3: For CTP150 or CTP2000 Series Device
When upgrade starts, a new window will open which will populate all upgrade logs and different stages of upgrade.
Note:Do not close this window while upgrade is in-progress. Closing this window will terminate the upgrade process.
Figure 4: For CTP150 or CTP2000 Series Device
Upgrade logs are displayed on CTPView web page.
The upgrade process is complete.
Installing CTPOS 9.1R3.4 Dual Image on CTP Device using CTPView
Starting in CTPOS Release 9.1R3.4, you can upgrade or install your CTP device with dual image.
To install dual image using CTPView:
Launch CTPView software in your CTP device and ensure that a valid CTPOS is running.
After connecting the host In the CTPView GUI, go to Node > Maintenance and click Upgrade CTP Software under CTP commands.
The Upgrade CTP Software screen is displayed.
Select an acorn archive from the dropdown list to upgrade as per the running release of the CTP node.
If your CTP Node is running on CTP151, choose
acorn_310_dual_image_upgrade_ctp151_240516.tgz.If your CTP Node is running 7.3Rx image on CTP150 or CTP2000 Series platform. then select
acorn_429_dual_image_upgrade_ctp150_ctp2k-02_-03_240516.tgz.If your CTP Node is running 9.x image on CTP150 or CTP2000 Series platform. then select
acorn_310_dual_image_upgrade_ctp150_ctp2k-02_-03_240516.tgz
Note:For illustration purpose, we have used only CTP151 device as a reference.The steps for upgrading CTP2000/CTP150 are the same; the only difference being the ’image archive’ to be selected.
Figure 5: Selecting CTPOS9.1R3-4 Archive on CTP151 Device
Click Upgrade CTP(s) to start the upgrade.
When upgrade starts, a new window will open which will populate all upgrade logs showing different stages of upgrade.
Note:Some upgrade procedure may be lengthy and may take time to complete. Do not close this window while upgrade is in-progress. Closing this window will terminate the upgrade process.
On successful competion of the upgrade, the following CTPView web page is displayed.

Upgrade logs are displayed on CTPView web page.
The upgrade process is successfully completed.
