Parameters

boot boot-package: Specifies the file path of a .bin boot image file, a case-insensitive string of up to 63 characters. The file path specified for the boot-package argument uses the storage-medium:/base-filename.bin format, for example, flash:/startup-boot.bin. The file path must not include the IRF member ID.

system system-package: Specifies the file path of a .bin system image file, a case-insensitive string of up to 63 characters. The file path specified for the system-package argument uses the storage-medium:/base-filename.bin format, for example, flash:/startup-system.bin. The file path must not include the IRF member ID.

feature feature-package: Specifies a space-separated list of up to 30 .bin feature image file paths. Each file path is a case-insensitive string of up to 63 characters. In addition, the file paths must use the storage-medium:/base-filename.bin format, for example, flash:/startup-a.bin. The file path must not include the IRF member ID.

ipe-filename: Specifies the file path of an .ipe image package file, a case-insensitive string of up to 63 characters. The file path must use the storage-medium:/base-filename.ipe format, for example, flash:/startup.ipe. The file path must not include the IRF member ID.

all: Upgrades the entire system. You can use this keyword to upgrade member devices in bulk. The system will automatically copy images to the root directory of the storage medium on each member device.

slot slot-number: Specifies the IRF member ID of the device for which the startup images are specified.

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

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

Usage guidelines

Use this command to upgrade the startup software images on each member device. To upgrade only the subordinate devices, you can also use the boot-loader update command.

Before specifying a startup software image file, you must perform the following tasks:

·     Save the upgrade file to the root directory of a storage medium on any one of the IRF member devices.

The system automatically copies the upgrade file to the flash memory on the IRF member device you are upgrading, and sets images in the file as startup images. If a file with the same name as the upgrade file already exists, you must choose whether to overwrite the existing file.

When an .ipe image package file is used for upgrade, you must choose whether to delete the file after the system decompresses the file.

The boot-loader file command overwrites the entire startup software 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 software image list will contain only the feature image files that are specified in the command.

Examples

# Specify flash:/all.ipe as the backup startup image file for IRF member device 1.

<Sysname> boot-loader file flash:/all.ipe slot 1 backup

Verifying the IPE file and the images.....Done.

H3C S5130-54C-PWR-HI Switch images in IPE:

boot-loader update

Use boot-loader update to synchronize startup images from the master to a subordinate device.

Syntax

boot-loader update { all | slot slot-number }

network-admin

Parameters

all: Upgrades all the subordinate devices.

slot: Specifies the IRF member ID of a subordinate device.

Usage guidelines

You can use this command to synchronize startup images after adding new member devices.

The startup images synchronized to the subordinate device are set as main startup images, regardless of whether the source startup images are main or backup.

If the master device has started up with main startup images, its main startup images are synchronized to the subordinate device, regardless of whether any main startup image has been respecified.

If the master device has started up with backup startup images, its backup startup images are synchronized to the subordinate device, regardless of whether any backup startup image has been respecified.

Startup image synchronization fails if any software image being synchronized is not available or has been corrupted.

If a patch installation or software upgrade has been performed, use the install commit command to update the set of main startup images on the master before software synchronization for startup image consistency between the master and the subordinate device.

Examples

# Synchronize startup images from the master device to subordinate device 2.

<Sysname> boot-loader update slot 2

This command will update the specified standby MPU. Continue? [Y/N]:y

Updating. Please wait...

Copying main startup software images to slot 2. Please wait...

Done.

Parameters

file file-url: Specifies the file that contains the Boot ROM image in the flash. The file-url argument represents the file name, a string of 1 to 63 characters.

slot slot-number-list: Specifies a space-separated list of up to seven IRF member ID items. For each item, you can specify an IRF member device or a range of IRF member devices.

·     Specify an IRF member device by its member ID.

·     Specify a range of IRF member devices in the form of start-member-id to end-member-id.

For example, the list can be slot 0 to 2 3.

Usage guidelines

If a software upgrade requires upgrading the Boot ROM image, you can use this command to preload the new Boot ROM image to the Boot ROM before upgrading Comware images. This command helps shorten the subsequent upgrade time, reducing the risk of upgrade failure caused by unexpected electricity failure.

To complete the upgrade, reboot the device.

To save space, you can delete the Boot ROM image in the flash after completing the Boot ROM image upgrade.

Examples

# Use the file a.bin to upgrade the Boot ROM image.

<Sysname> bootrom update file a.bin

   This command will update the Boot ROM file on the specified board(s), Continue? [Y/N]:y

   Now updating the Boot ROM, please wait...

.............Done.

Parameters

all: Specifies all IRF members.

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.

filename: Specifies the name of a software image file on the master, in the format of storage-medium:/base-filename.bin. It can be a case-insensitive string of up to 63 characters and cannot contain slot information.

slot slot-number: Specifies an IRF member by its member ID.

Usage guidelines

The specified files must be saved in the root directory of the storage medium.

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.

If you specify a subordinate member for the command, the command copies the images to the subordinate member 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 check the synchronization progress, use the display device command. The synchronization is completed when all member devices are in normal state.

Examples

# Activate the patch image system-patch.bin on member device 1.

<Sysname> install activate system-patch.bin slot 1
