Software upgrade commands

boot-loader file

Use boot-loader file to specify startup image files.

Syntax

boot-loader file boot filename system filename [ feature filename&<1-30> ] [ patch filename&<1-16> ] { all | slot slot-number } { backup | main }

boot-loader file ipe-filename [ patch filename&<1-16> ] { all | slot slot-number } { backup | main }

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.

patch: Specifies a space-separated list of up to 16 patch image files. You can specify only non-incremental patch 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 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 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.

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 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.

 

NOTE: The system will verify the digital signature of the specified images before it updates the startup image list with the specified images. If the digital signature verification fails, the system will not update the startup image list and you will receive a digital signature verification failure message.

boot-loader update

Use boot-loader update to synchronize startup images.

Syntax

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

Views

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

all: Synchronizes startup images from the master to all subordinate devices.

slot slot-number: 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 on the master device.

·     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 on the master device.

If a patch has been installed on the master, use the install commit command to update the set of main startup images on the master before software synchronization. This command ensures startup image consistency between the master and the subordinate device.

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

Examples

# Synchronize startup images to a slot.

<Sysname> boot-loader update slot 2

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

Predefined user roles

network-admin

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 a space-separated list of up to seven slot number items. An item specifies an IRF member device by its member ID or a range of IRF member devices in the form of start-slot-number to end-slot-number. The end slot number must be equal to or greater than the start slot number.

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.

 

NOTE: The system verifies a BootWare image before it loads that image to the Normal area of BootWare. If the digital signature verification fails, the system will not load the image and you will receive a digital signature verification failure message.

 

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.

Parameters

slot slot-number: Specifies an IRF member device by its member ID. If you do not specify an IRF member device, this command displays information for all IRF member devices.

verbose: Displays detailed information about each software image, including their image name, basic information, and contained components. If you do not specify this keyword, the command displays only image names.

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.
