Software upgrade commands

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

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

boot-loader file ipe-filename [ patch filename&<1-30> ] { 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.

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.

patch: Specifies a space-separated list of up to 30 incremental patch image files or 16 non-incremental patch image files. Because the boot, system, and feature images each can have one non-incremental patch image file, you can specify a maximum of 16 non-incremental patch image files.

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.

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

Prerequisites

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.

Application scenarios

When the current software cannot meet the requirements of network operation or user services, you can use this command to upgrade the software to optimize device performance to meet the requirements.

Operating mechanism

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.

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.

Restrictions and guidelines

The system verifies 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.

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

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

display boot-loader

boot-loader update

Use boot-loader update to synchronize startup images.

Syntax

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

Views

User view

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

Prerequisites

If any of the startup software images require a license, register and activate a license for the image on the new subordinate device before executing this command. Use the display license feature command to verify the licensing state of software images.

Application scenarios

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

Operating mechanism

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.

Restrictions and guidelines

If a patch installation or ISSU has been performed 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.

Do not reboot any member device during the execution of the boot-loader update command. Member devices might not be able to come up.

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

Examples

# Synchronize startup images from the active MPU to the standby MPU in slot 1.

<Sysname> boot-loader update slot 1

This command will update the specified standby MPU. Please do not reboot any MPU during the upgrade. Continue? [Y/N]:y

Updating. Please wait...

Verifying the file flash:/BOOT.bin on slot 1.............Done.

Verifying the file flash:/SYSTEM.bin on slot 1.....................Done.

Syntax

bootrom backup slot slot-number-list [ all | part ]

Views

User view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

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.

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.

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.

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

Application scenarios

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.

Operating mechanism

After you use this command, the system loads the specified BootWare image in the file system to the Normal area of BootWare. The system directly uses the BootWare image in the Normal area when it starts up. If the storage space is insufficient, you can delete the BootWare image file after the system has loaded the BootWare image.

Restrictions and guidelines

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.

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.

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.

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
