On an Ardis DDP device (http://www.dynamicdrivepool.com/), P5 is installed under /tmp/avfs-dbase/aw. To update the P5 software, download the current Linux installer(https://p5.archiware.com/download), then follow these instructions. The examples assume the DDP uses IP address 192.168.222.88 and the P5 version to be installed is 5.1.6. Please adjust as needed.
IMPORTANT: It is highly recommended to make a backup copy of the current 'aw' folder before updating the software!!!
1. Copy the awpst5xx.tgz installer from your workstation to the DDP, e.g.: scp ./Downloads/awpst516.tgz root@192.168.222.88: 2. Open a secure shell connection to the DDP, e.g.: ssh root@192.168.222.88 3. Copy the P5 installer to the P5 installation folder, e.g.: cp /root/awpst516.tgz /tmp/avfs-dbase/aw/ 4. Change to P5 install folder: cd /tmp/avfs-dbase/aw/ 5. Stop P5: ./stop-server 6. Extract installer files: tar zxvf awpst516.tgz 7. Start P5: ./start-server , wait for success message 8. Login to P5 running on the DDP by going to http://[DDPs_IP_address]:8000/login
