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 slot number of the device, which is fixed at 1.
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.
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.
Examples
# Specify flash:/all.ipe as the main startup image file for slot 1.
<Sysname> boot-loader file flash:/all.ipe slot 1 main
Verifying the file flash:/all.ipe on slot 1..............Done.
H3C WBC560 images in IPE:
boot.bin
system.bin
This command will set the main startup software images. Continue? [Y/N]:Y
Add images to slot 1.
File flash:/boot.bin already exists on slot 1.
File flash:/system.bin already exists on slot 1.
Overwrite or rename the new file? [Yes/No/Rename]: Y
Decompressing file boot.bin to flash:/boot.bin........................Done.
Decompressing file system.bin to flash:/system.bin...............................Done.
Verifying the file flash:/boot.bin on slot 1...Done.
Verifying the file flash:/system.bin on slot 1.............Done.
The images that have passed all examinations will be used as the main startup software images at the next reboot on slot 1.

bootrom backup
Use bootrom backup to back up the BootWare image in the Normal area to the Backup area on a BootWare.
Syntax
bootrom backup slot slot-number-list [ all | part ]
Views

Predefined user roles
network-admin
Parameters
slot slot-number-list: Specifies the slot number of the device, which is fixed at 1.
all: Backs up the entire BootWare image, including the basic segment and the extended segment. If you do not specify the all or part keyword, this command backs up the entire BootWare image.
part: Backs up the extended BootWare image section.
Usage guidelines
A BootWare is divided into a Normal area and a Backup area. The BootWare image is stored in the Normal area and backed up to the Backup area. At startup, the system reads the BootWare image automatically from the Normal area. If the image is inaccessible, the system reads the BootWare image from the Backup area.
If the BootWare image in the Normal area is corrupted or requires a version rollback, use the bootrom restore command to copy the BootWare image in the Backup area to the Normal area.
Examples
# Back up the entire BootWare image from the Normal area to the Backup area.
<Sysname> bootrom backup slot 1
Now backing up the Boot ROM, please wait...
......Done.

bootrom read

Parameters
slot slot-number-list: Specifies the slot number of the device, which is fixed at 1.
all: Backs up the entire BootWare image, including the basic segment and the extended segment. If you do not specify the all or part keyword, this command backs up the entire BootWare image.
part: Backs up the extended BootWare image section.
Usage guidelines
For each BootWare image you are backing up, this command creates two files (basicbtm.bin and extendbtm.bin) in the flash memory for the basic segment and the extended segment. If the BootWare image in the Normal area of a BootWare is corrupted or requires a version rollback, use the bootrom update command to read the two backup files from the flash memory to the BootWare.
Examples
# Back up the BootWare image from the Normal area of BootWare to the flash memory.
<Sysname> bootrom read slot 1
Now reading the Boot ROM, please wait...
.........Done.

bootrom restore

Parameters
file file: Specifies the file that contains the BootWare image. The file argument represents the file name, a string of 1 to 63 characters.
slot slot-number-list: Specifies the slot number of the device, which is fixed at 1.
all: Loads the entire BootWare image, including the basic segment and the extended segment. If you do not specify the all or part keyword, this command restores the entire BootWare image.
part: Loads the extended BootWare image section.
Usage guidelines
BootWare images are contained in the .bin Comware boot image file. You can specify a Comware boot image file in this command to upgrade the BootWares in the system before you upgrade the Comware images. If you do not upgrade BootWares before upgrading Comware images, the system automatically upgrades BootWares as necessary when loading Comware images.
The new BootWare images take effect after you reboot the device.
Examples
# Use the file a.bin in the root directory of the flash memory to upgrade the BootWare image.
<Sysname> bootrom update file flash:/a.bin slot 1
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.
