Thanks for the reply. My snap server has 2 45gig drives in it. I can copy files to and from the share I setup on the drive. Here are the results of looking for the upgrade files:

ftp> pwd
257 "/whoot/os_private/Temp" is your working directory.
ftp> dir
200 Command okay.
125 Data connection already open; transfer starting.
----rwx--- 1 3 2 30814256 Nov 06 08:30 1099751289
----rwx--- 1 3 2 30814256 Nov 06 10:51 1099759749
226 Closing data connection. Requested file action successful.
ftp: 118 bytes received in 0.00Seconds 118000.00Kbytes/sec.
ftp>

Let me know what else you think I can try. Since the last post I have tried to do an upgrade with the osupgrade utlitity via commandline and received the same results. I have also tried to set the PlatformBytes to 4 0 0 instead of 1 1 0. Same thing.. the upgrade says it installs but after reboot I'm back to 3.4.803 with platform bytes of 0 0 0.

There must be a way to get around this... Does the snapserver store a log somewhere that may indicate why the upgrade did not take. I did not try to upgrade to ver 4 due to the supposed throughput hit with that upgrade. 3.4.805 should work on this box.

I also looked at trying to upgrade the bios via 'update mode' and the utilities off snap appliance's site. I didn't have any luck, when you put the snap in 'update mode' via the /config/update url it seems to reboot the snap, but the nic never becomes active again. I have to manually powercycle the unit to get it out of the 'update state'. Has anyone ever tried to do this?
