# coraid-update(8)

upload an update file to a CORAID appliance

## NAME

coraid-update - upload an update file to a CORAID appliance

## SYNOPSIS

```
coraid-update {update file} {AoE device}
```

## DESCRIPTION

The *coraid-update* script performs a few sanity checks before copying the local update file to the remote update AoE target on the CORAID appliance.

Two arguments are provided: 1) the name of the update file to be uploaded, and 2) the special block device file corresponding to the update target, e.g., */dev/etherd/e100.40*.

It generates no output and exits with a zero status when the update file has been successfully uploaded  to the update target on the appliance.  Otherwise, an error message is printed to standard error and  *coraid-update* exits with a non-zero status.
