a. Obtain the Win32 Disk Imager tool or any other tool that can create a
bootable USB key.
– You can get a copy of Win32 Disk Imager at http://ausgsa.ibm.com/
projects/i/ima_support/downloads/bootableISOs/.
– Win32 Disk Imager is an open source project on SourceForge at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/.
– As with any open source tool, review its use with your manager or
consult IBM SWG legal.
b. Insert the USB key into a USB port on your computer.
c. Start Win32DiskImager.exe.
d. Select the USB drive for Device field.
e. Select the .img file for Image File field.
f. Select the MD5 Hash check box.
g. Compare the result with the value in the .img.md5 file.
h. If the value matches, select Write.
i. When complete, select Exit.
j. Eject the USB key from your computer.
v Transfer on Linux.
a. Insert the USB key into a USB port on your computer.
b. Verify that the .img file downloaded successfully.
1) Run md5sum against the .img file.
2) Compare the results with the contents of the .img.md5 file. The values
must match.
c. Become the root user.
d. Run the fdisk -l command to determine the USB drive device name; for
example, /dev/sdb.
Attention: Verify the USB drive device name after you insert it into
your computer. The wrong device name in the dd command can result in
damage.
e. Assuming the identifier for the .img file is 200163, run the following
commands:
dd if=usb-flash-8436-4BX-200163.img of=/dev/sdb bs=256k; sync; sync
f. Remove the USB key from your computer.
The USB key is ready to use as a service key for the field-reflash.
4. Obtain the password for the service key. You need a password to unlock the
image when you boot the appliance from the service key. The password is in a
password file (extension .img.password.txt) that you obtained from
https://datapower-production-images.dp.rtp.raleigh.ibm.com. The password is
specific to a bootable image file. You can use the password in the
usb-flash-8436-4BX-200163.img.password.txt file with only the
usb-flash-8436-4BX-200163.img file.
