Installation and Removal
Equalizer VLB can be installed on all currently supported Equalizer appliance models.
The instructions included below are intended for Equalizers in a standalone configuration (not in a failover pair), and
without the Envoy Geographic Load Balancing software. If your system is part of a failover pair or if Envoy is
enabled, see the detailed upgrade instructions for Version 8, in the Software Upgrades section of the Coyote Point
Support Portal (
coyotepoint.com/support.htm).
Current Release Notes and the Installation and Administration Guide are available from the
Help menu of the
Administration Interface.
Upgrading to the Equalizer VLB Beta
1. Log into Equalizer in either of two ways:
a. Use a serial terminal and the
eqadmin account (default password: equalizer). Upon successful login, the
Equalizer Configuration Menu window is displayed.
b. Use a Secure Shell (SSH) connection and the
eqsupport account, if enabled. Upon successful login, enter
the following to display the
Equalizer Configuration Menu:
su root
eqadmin
2. Select option 8, Upgrade, and press Enter (on older systems, Upgrade is option 10). The Equalizer upgrade
selection
screen appears.
3. Press
Enter. The upgrade utility prompts you to enter the upgrade URL:
4. Type the upgrade URL:
ftp://ftp2.coyotepoint.com/pub/patches/upgrades/upgrade-8.0.0/vlb/upgrade.tgz
If a nameserver is not configured for your Equalizer, use the IP address “64.13.152.125” instead of
“
ftp2.coyotepoint.com”.
5. Select
OK and press Enter. You will see FTP output as Equalizer downloads the upgrade archive.
6. During installation of the new release, some additional prompts may be displayed, depending on your
configuration. These prompts are self-explanatory and the answers you supply depend on your network
configuration and requirements.
