Overview

Software upgrade enables you to add new features and fix bugs. Before performing an upgrade, use the release notes for the new software version to verify software and hardware compatibility and evaluate upgrade impacts.

Software types

The following software types are available:

·     BootWare image—A .bin file that contains a basic segment and an extended segment. The basic segment is the minimum code that bootstraps the system. The extended segment enables hardware initialization and provides system management menus. You can use these menus to load software and the startup configuration file or manage files when the device cannot start up correctly.

·     Comware image—Includes the following image subcategories:

?     Boot image—A .bin file that contains the Linux operating system kernel. It provides process management, memory management, and file system management.

?     System image—A .bin file that contains the minimum feature modules required for device operation and some basic features, including device management, interface management, configuration management, and routing. To have advanced features, you must purchase feature packages.

?     Feature package—Includes a set of advanced software features. Users purchase feature packages as needed.

?     Patch packages—Irregularly released packages for fixing bugs without rebooting the device. A patch package does not add new features or functions.

Comware software images that have been loaded are called "current software images." Comware images specified to load at the next startup are called "startup software images."

BootWare image, boot image, and system image are required for the system to work. These images are released as a whole in one .ipe file. The system automatically decompresses the file, loads the boot and system images and sets them as startup software images.

Software file naming conventions

Software image file names use the chassis-comware version-image type-release format, for example, S12500X-CMW710-SYSTEM-R1135.bin and S12500X-CMW710-BOOT-R1135.bin. This document uses boot.bin and system.bin as boot and system image file names.

Upgrade methods

You can use one of the following methods to upgrade software:

 

Upgrade method

Software type

Remarks

Upgrading from the CLI

·     BootWare image

·     Comware images (excluding patches)

This method is disruptive. If you are upgrading MPUs, you must reboot the switch to complete the upgrade. If you are upgrading the BootWare image of a card (an LPU or switching fabric module), you must reboot the card.

NOTE:

You can upgrade the BootWare of LPUs and switching fabric modules from the CLI only.

Upgrading from BootWare menus:

·     Upgrading Comware software from the BootWare menus

·     Upgrading BootWare from the BootWare menus

·     BootWare image

·     Comware images

Use this method when the device cannot start up correctly.

 

Restrictions and guidelines

When you upgrade software, follow these restrictions and guidelines:

·     Use the same method to upgrade software for all MPUs to ensure software version consistency across MPUs.

·     Make sure the Comware software and BootWare are compatible. For the compatibility between the Comware software and BootWare, see the hardware and software compatibility matrix in the Release Notes.

·     If the switch uses the LSXM1SUPB1 MPU, follow these restrictions and guidelines when you use the management ports on the MPU:

?     If multiple management ports are connected to one remote switch, you must assign their peer ports to different VLANs on the remote switch. Login or file transfer will fail if the peer ports are in the same VLAN.

?     To transfer files from the BootWare menu through TFTP or FTP, you can use only the management port M0/0/3. This port is marked with a number of 3 on the card panel.

 

 

NOTE:

The command output in this document is for reference only.

 

Upgrading from the CLI

This section describes the upgrade procedures for standalone S12500X-AF switches and S12500X-AF IRF fabrics. For more information about IRF, see H3C S12500-X & S12500X-AF Switch Series IRF Configuration Guide.

Upgrading a standalone switch

Preparing for the upgrade

1.     Telnet to the switch or log in through the console port. (Details not shown.)

2.     Display device information.

The output shows that the switch has two MPUs, an active MPU in slot 0 and a standby MPU in slot 1. You must upgrade software for the two MPUs.

 

 

NOTE:

You only need to upgrade the active MPU if the device has no standby MPU.

 

3.     Verify that the MPUs have enough free storage space for the upgrade files:

4.     If the free storage space is not sufficient, delete unused files:

# On the active MPU:

<Sysname> delete /unreserved flash:/S12500X-CMW710-A0090.ipe

The file cannot be restored. Delete flash:/S12500X-CMW710-A0090.ipe?[Y/N]:y

Deleting the file permanently will take a long time. Please wait...

..................................................

Deleting file flash:/S12500X-CMW710-A0090.ipe... Done.

# On the standby MPU:

<Sysname> delete /unreserved slot1#flash:/S12500X-CMW710-A0090.ipe

The file cannot be restored. Delete chassis1#slot1#flash:/S12500X-CMW710-A0090.ipe?[Y/N]:y

Deleting the file permanently will take a long time. Please wait...

..................................................

Deleting file flash:/S12500X-CMW710-A0090.ipe... Done.

 

 

NOTE:

·     The delete /unreserved file-url command deletes a file permanently, and the action cannot be undone.

·     The delete file-url command moves a file to the recycle bin and the file still occupies storage space. To delete the file from the recycle bin, execute the reset recycle-bin command in the original directory of the file.

 

Downloading upgrade files to the flash memories of MPUs

You can use FTP or TFTP to download files.

 

 

NOTE:

The switch does not come with FTP or TFTP software. Prepare the software yourself.

 

This example uses FTP to download files from an FTP server and assumes that the FTP client and server can reach each other.

To download the software file (for example, newest.ipe) from the FTP server:

1.     Run the FTP server program on the PC at 10.10.110.1, and set the username, password, and the file directory where the software file is stored.

2.     Download the file to the active MPU:

# Log in to the PC with FTP.

<Sysname> ftp 10.10.110.1

Connected to 10.10.110.1 (10.10.110.1).

220 WFTPD 2.0 service (by Texas Imperial Software) ready for new user

User (10.10.110.1:(none)):username                       ---Enter the username.

74948608 bytes received in 35.974 seconds (896.00 kbyte/s)

ftp> bye

221 Windows FTP Server (WFTPD, by Texas Imperial Software) says goodbye

3.     Copy the file to the root directory of the flash memory on the standby MPU.

<Sysname> copy newest.bin slot1#flash:/

Copy flash:/newest.bin to slot1#flash:/newest.bin?[Y/N]:y

Copying file flash:/newest.ipe to slot1#flash:/newest.ipe...Done.

 

 

NOTE:

You can configure the switch as the FTP server, FTP client, or TFTP client. The transfer procedures vary slightly. For more information about FTP and TFTP, see H3C S12500-X & S12500X-AF Switch Series Fundamentals Configuration Guide.

 

Upgrading software from the CLI

Before upgrading software, verify that the software file is stored in the root directory of the flash memory on the active MPU.

3.     Install a patch package:

 

IMPORTANT

IMPORTANT:

Use the display install active command to verify whether patches have been installed on the device. If the device has patches, uninstall them. Only one patch package file can be installed on the device.

 

# Install the patch package S12500X-CMW710-SYSTEM-R1135H01.bin. Make sure the file is saved to the root directory of the flash memories on both MPUs.

<Sysname> install activate patch flash:/S12500X-CMW710-SYSTEM-R1135H01.bin slot 0

<Sysname> install activate patch flash:/S12500X-CMW710-SYSTEM-R1135H01.bin slot 1

The patches run immediately without requiring a reboot.

# Commit the installed patches to have the patches continue to run at the next reboot.

# Delete unused files on other standby MPUs. (Details not shown.)

 

 

NOTE:

·     The delete /unreserved file-url command deletes a file permanently and the action cannot be undone.

·     The delete file-url command moves a file to the recycle bin and the file still occupies storage space. To delete the file from the recycle bin, execute the reset recycle-bin command in the original directory of the file.

 

Downloading upgrade files to the flash memories of MPUs

You can use FTP or TFTP to download files.

 

 

NOTE:

The switch does not come with FTP or TFTP software. Prepare the software yourself.

 

This example uses FTP to download files from an FTP server and assumes that the FTP client and server can reach each other.

To download the software file (for example, newest.ipe) from the FTP server:

1.     Run the FTP server program on the PC at 10.10.110.1, and set the username, password, and the file directory where the software file is stored.

2.     Download the file to the global active MPU:

# Log in to the PC with FTP.

<Sysname> ftp 10.10.110.1

Connected to 10.10.110.1 (10.10.110.1).

Upgrading Comware software from the BootWare menus

Upgrade Comware software by using one of the following methods:

·     Using TFTP to upgrade through the management Ethernet port

·     Using FTP to upgrade through the management Ethernet port

·     Using Xmodem to upgrade through the console port

For more information about BootWare, see "Appendix A Using BootWare menus."

 

 

NOTE:

·     The switch does not come with FTP or TFTP software. Prepare the software yourself.

·     Upgrading through an Ethernet port is faster than through the console port.

 

Using TFTP to upgrade through the management Ethernet port

1.     Connect the management Ethernet port of the switch to the PC that stores the source .ipe file, and connect the console port of the switch to the configuration terminal.

The configuration terminal can be co-located with the TFTP server.

2.     Run the TFTP server program on the PC connected to the management Ethernet port, and specify the file storage directory.

3.     Run the terminal emulation program on the PC connected to the console port.

4.     Start the switch and access the EXTENDED-BOOTWARE menu (for more information, see "Appendix A Using BootWare menus").

5.     Enter 3 in the EXTENDED-BOOTWARE menu to access the Ethernet submenu.

2.     If Xmodem is used, verify that the HyperTerminal settings are correct, including the baudrate and data bits.

3.     Check the HyperTerminal output for typing errors:

?     If Xmodem is used, verify that the baud rate is the same on the console port and the HyperTerminal.

?     If TFTP is used, verify that you entered the correct TFTP server IP address, filename, and file path.

?     If FTP is used, verify that you entered the correct FTP server IP address, filename, file path, and FTP username and password.

4.     Verify that FTP or TFTP server software is running and has correct settings.

5.     Verify that the flash memory is sufficient for storing the downloaded files.

6.     Verify that the upgrading file is applicable to the device and the file type is correct.

7.     Verify that the versions of Comware software and BootWare are correct. For the compatibility between the Comware software and BootWare, see the hardware and software compatibility matrix in Release Notes.

Modifying serial port parameters

When you use the console port to access the system, make sure the port parameters are consistent with the serial port settings on the configuration terminal, including the baud rate, data bits, parity check, stop bits, flow control, and emulation. If the settings are inconsistent, communication will fail.

You can change the baud rate from the BootWare menus. H3C recommends that you change the default baud rate (9600 bps) to a higher baud rate for faster file transfer before downloading a Comware image file with XMODEM through the console port.

To change the baud rate of the console port:

1.     Enter 1 in the BASIC-BOOTWARE menu.

Enter your choice(0-5): 1

===============================<BAUDRATE SET>===============================

Restoring the factory-default configuration

 

CAUTION

CAUTION:

Performing this task can cause all next-startup configuration files to be permanently deleted.

 

To restore the factory-default configuration from the EXTENDED-BOOTWARE menu, make sure password recovery capability is disabled. If the capability is enabled, you cannot perform the task.

Disabling password recovery capability can protect your system from unauthorized console access to configuration. However, if you have only console access to the system but you have lost the console login password, you can only access the system after restoring the factory-default configuration.

To enable the system to start up with the factory-default configuration instead of a next-startup configuration file:

1.     Enter 5 in the EXTENDED-BOOTWARE menu.

Enter your choice(0-9):5

2.     Follow the system instruction to complete the task.

?     If password recovery capability is enabled, first disable the capability from the CLI, and then reboot the device to access the EXTENDED-BOOTWARE menu.

Password recovery capability is enabled. To perform this operation, first

disable the password recovery capability using the undo password-recovery

enable command in CLI.

?     If password recovery capability is disabled, enter Y at the prompt to complete the task.

Because the password recovery capability is disabled, this operation can

cause the configuration files to be deleted, and the system will start up

with factory defaults. Are you sure to continue?[Y/N]Y

Setting...Done.

Starting up without loading the configuration file

You can perform this task only if password recovery capability is enabled.

To ignore all configuration files and start up with the empty configuration, enter 6 in the EXTENDED-BOOTWARE menu.

Enter your choice(0-9): 6

Flag Set Success.

This is a one-time operation. It takes effect only for the first system startup or reboot (option 1 or option 0 in the EXTENDED-BOOTWARE menu) after you select the option.

Managing the BootWare image

You can use BootWare Operation menu to back up, recover, and upgrade the BootWare image.

To access the BootWare Operation menu, enter 7 in the EXTENDED-BOOTWARE menu.

Skipping console login authentication

IMPORTANT

IMPORTANT:

·     To perform this task, make sure password recovery capability is enabled. If the capability is disabled, you cannot perform this task.

·     Skipping console login authentication applies only to console login users.

·     Skipping console login authentication is a one-time operation. It takes effective only for the first system boot or reboot (option 1 and option 0 in the EXTENDED-BOOTWARE menu) after you perform the operation. If you do not configure a new login password, the original setting continues to take effect for the subsequent reboot.

 

If you cannot remember the console login password, enter 8 in the EXTENDED-BOOTWARE menu so you can log in to the device through the console port without login authentication.
