SDN Hardware Controller upgrade (no Windows)
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I am a new user, so apologies for the the question.
I have just seen that a new SDN Controller is out [1].
I wanted to upgrade from the tpkinkcloud platform, but if I go to Controller Settings -> Maintenance -> Hardware Controller -> Hardware Controller Firmware and click on "Check for Upgrade", I receive the following answer: "Up to Date You are running the latest version".
Looking at her [2], it seems you need a Windows PC also to upgrade the hardware controller. But I do not have any Windows PC available (only a Linux, a raspberry pi or a ChromeOs).
What am I mis-reading or missing? How can I upgrade to the new SDN Controller version?
To summarise:
- Controller Version 5.7.6
- Model OC200 2.0
- Firmware Version 2.7.7 Build 20221206 Rel.58608
Thanks

Hey
OK so you dont need to have a Windows PC to upgrade the OC200, it is done via the web interface where you did the check for updates.
The reason the new version isnt appearing, its a BETA version for testing, not the official release yet. When its offically released it will appear for download automatically in a day or two, however you can install the BETA if you wish
Go to the forums for the OC200 BETA firmware from there as it wont be on official downloads, save it to your PC / Laptop / Chromebook and open the OC200 interface.
Under SETTINGS, MAINTENANCE, choose MANUAL UPGRADE and point it to the file you downloaded. (you might need to extract it first from the zip file). This should then update for you
However remember this is a BETA so its currently testing for bugs and stability, there may be issues with this so at your own risk! If you are at all worried about that, hold off until its checked and officially released!
