As a best practice, store the startup images in the factory default file system. If you store the startup images in a hot swappable storage medium, do not remove the hot swappable storage medium during the startup process.

boot-loader file

Use boot-loader file to specify startup image files.

Syntax

In standalone mode:

boot-loader file boot filename system filename [ feature filename&<1-30> ] { backup | main }

boot-loader file ipe-filename { backup | main [ undecompressed ] }

In IRF mode:

boot-loader file boot filename system filename [ feature filename&<1-30> ] { all | slot slot-number } { backup | main }

boot-loader file ipe-filename { all | slot slot-number } { backup | main [ undecompressed ] }

Parameters

boot: Specifies a boot image file.

system: Specifies a system image file.

feature: Specifies a space-separated list of up to 30 feature image files.

filename: Specifies a .bin file in the filesystemname/filename.bin format. The file must be stored in the root directory of a file system on the device. Excluding the file system location section (if any), the value string can have a maximum of 63 characters. For more information about specifying a file, see file system management in Fundamentals Configuration Guide.

ipe-filename: Specifies an .ipe image package file in the filesystemname/filename.ipe format. The file must be stored in the root directory of a file system on the device. Excluding the file system location section (if any), the value string can have a maximum of 63 characters. For more information about specifying a file, see file system management in Fundamentals Configuration Guide.

all: Specifies all hardware components to which the specified images apply.

slot slot-number: Specifies the IRF member ID of a member device. (In IRF mode.)

backup: Specifies the files as backup startup image files. Backup images are used only when main images are not available.

main: Specifies the files as main startup image files. The device always first attempts to start up with main startup files.

undecompressed: Specifies the IPE file as the main startup image file without decompressing it. If you do not specify this keyword, the device decompresses the IPE file and then sets the decompressed .bin files as the main startup image files. As a best practice, do not specify this keyword if the device has sufficient storage space.

Usage guidelines

The boot-loader file command overwrites the entire startup image list. To add new startup feature images, specify all feature image files in the old startup image list, including feature image files. The new startup image list will contain only the feature image files that are specified in the command.

Before you specify startup image files, register and activate a license for each upgrade image that requires a license. If a license-based software image lacks a license, the command execution result is as follows:

· If .bin files are specified, the command cannot be executed.

· If an .ipe file is specified, the command sets all images as startup images except for the image that does not have a license.

For more information about licensing, see Fundamentals Configuration Guide.

To load the specified startup software images, you must reboot the system.

If the upgrade images are not found in the file system on the slot specified to upgrade, the system automatically copies the images to that file system. The destination directory is the root directory of the file system. If the destination root directory already contains a startup image with the same name as an upgrade image, you must choose whether to overwrite the image.

Incremental patches cannot be installed by using the boot-loader file command.

If the device does not have sufficient storage space, you can specify the undecompressed keyword. The device sets the IPE file as the main startup image file without decompressing it and sets the current main startup image files as the backup startup image files. The device decompresses the IPE file upon reboot, loads the decompressed .bin files as the main startup image files, and deletes the IPE file. If the device fails to decompress the IPE file or load the decompressed .bin files, it loads the backup startup image files.

Usage guidelines

Some install commands modify the current software image list but do not modify the main startup image list. For the software image changes to take effect after a reboot, you must execute the install commit command to update the main startup image list with the image changes. You can use the display install committed command to verify the operation results.

Both the install commit and boot-loader file commands modify the main startup software image list.

Usage guidelines

A component is a collection of features. The features of a component are installed or uninstalled at the same time.

When the system displays a component or file error, use this command to identify the image files that include the component or file. Then, you can use the install verify command to identify image file problems.

This command searches only the root directories of the file systems at the specified location.

network-admin

Parameters

boot: Specifies a boot image file.

system: Specifies a system image file.

feature: Specifies feature image files. You can specify a space-separated list of up to 30 feature image files.

patch: Specifies a patch image file. You can specify only one patch image file for the command at a time. However, you can execute the command multiple times to activate multiple patch image files.

all: Specifies all member devices. (In IRF mode.)

slot slot-number: Specifies an IRF member device by its member ID. (In IRF mode.)

Usage guidelines

Before you use this command to activate a software image, read the release notes to identify the licensing requirements for the image. If the image requires a license, make sure the device has a valid license installed for the image.

Centralized devices:

An image runs in memory immediately after it is activated. For an activated image to run after a reboot, you must commit the software change by using the install commit command.

Centralized IRF devices:

Images run in memory immediately after they are activated. However, only images activated by using the install activate patch filename all command still run in memory after a reboot. For other images to take effect after a reboot, you must commit the software change by using the install commit command.

If the specified files are not stored on the member device to be upgraded, the command copies the images to the member device automatically.

At reboot, a subordinate device automatically synchronizes the master device's configuration and status data. You must wait for the synchronization to complete before using the install activate command on the subordinate device. To identify whether the synchronization is complete, use the display system stable state command. The synchronization is complete if the System State field displays Stable.

Examples

# (In standalone mode.) Activate the system image in system.bin and the feature images in feature1.bin.

Parameters

ipe-filename: Specifies an .ipe file in the filesystemname/filename.ipe format. The file must be stored in the root directory of a file system on the device. The value string excluding the file system location section (if any) can have a maximum of 63 characters. For more information about specifying a file, see file system management in Fundamentals Configuration Guide.

filesystem: Specifies the destination file system for the software images, in the filesystemname format.

Usage guidelines

To use the install activate command to activate software images, you must use .bin image files. If the upgrade file is an .ipe file, use this command to decompress the .ipe file before you start the upgrade.

To identify software images that are included in an .ipe file, use the display install ipe-info command.

Examples

# Decompress all.ipe to the flash memory.

<Sysname> install add flash:/all.ipe flash:

Usage guidelines

Before you use this command, read the release notes to identify software image licensing requirements. Make sure the device has valid licenses for all license-based images.

This command adds the patch image file to the startup software image list that the device used at startup.

· If the device used the main startup software image list at startup, this command adds the patch image file to the main startup software image list.

· If the device used the backup startup software image list at startup, this command adds the patch image file to the backup startup software image list.

Both the install commit and boot-loader file commands modify the main startup software image list. To modify the backup startup image list or add inactive images as main startup images, however, you must use the boot-loader file command.

Examples

# Commit software changes.

<Sysname> install commit

This operation will take several minutes, please wait...........................Done.
