Upgrading the startup software

You can upgrade the startup software by using the following methods:

·     Upgrading the startup software by using the boot loader method

·     Upgrading the startup software from the BootWare menu

·     Performing a compatible upgrade by using ISSU commands (distributed devices)

·     Performing a compatible upgrade by using ISSU commands (centralized devices)

·     Performing an incompatible upgrade by using ISSU commands (distributed devices)

·     Performing an incompatible upgrade by using ISSU commands (centralized devices)

Upgrading the startup software by using the boot loader method

Upgrade workflow

Table 1 Upgrade workflow

 

Upgrade procedure

Preparing for the upgrade

See "Preparing for the upgrade."

Downloading the upgrade file

Download the upgrade file from an PC to the switch. For more information, see "Appendix A Downloading the upgrade file."

Upgrading the startup software

	NOTE: ·     You can specify an .ipe file or a boot image file and a system image file in the boot-loader file command. This section uses an .ipe file as an example. ·     Available commands vary by switch model. This section uses an S10500 switch as an example. ·     The upgrade procedure for single-MPU devices is the same as that for dual-MPU devices.

 

# Specify an .ipe file as the main startup software file.

<Sysname> boot-loader file flash:/all.ipe all main

Verifying the file flash:/all.ipe on slot 1..............Done.

H3C S10510 images in IPE:

  boot.bin

  system.bin

This command will set the main startup software images. Continue? [Y/N]:y

# Specify an .ipe file as the backup startup software file.

<Sysname> boot-loader file flash:/all2.ipe all backup

Verifying the file flash:/all2.ipe on slot 1..............Done.

H3C S10510 images in IPE:

  boot.bin

  system.bin

This command will set the backup startup software images. Continue? [Y/N]:y

Rebooting the switch

# Reboot the switch to complete the upgrade.

<Sysname> reboot

Start to check configuration with next startup configuration file, please wait.

........DONE!

This command will reboot the device. Continue? [Y/N]:y

Now rebooting, please wait...

Upgrading the startup software from the BootWare menu

Upgrade workflow

Table 2 Upgrade workflow

 

Upgrade procedure

Preparing for the upgrade

See "Preparing for the upgrade."

Downloading the upgrade file

Download the upgrade file from an PC to the switch. For more information, see "Appendix A Downloading the upgrade file."

Rebooting the switch

# Return to the EXTENDED-BOOTWARE menu, and enter 0 in the EXTENDED-BOOTWARE menu to reboot the switch.

 

	NOTE: For a modular switch that has an active MPU and a standby MPU, you must access the BootWare menus of them through the console port to upgrade their startup software. You also need to connect to the management Ethernet ports on both MPUs.

 

Performing a compatible upgrade by using ISSU commands (distributed devices)

	NOTE: ·     Before performing an ISSU, you must use the display version comp-matrix command to identify the recommended ISSU methods. ·     In this section, the IRF fabric has two member devices, and each member device has two MPUs. ·     The upgrade procedure for single-MPU devices is the same as that for dual-MPU devices. ·     The command output varies by device model.
