Upgrading the Switch Software

Upgrading a Switch by Using the CLI

This procedure is for copying the tar file to the switch. You copy the file to the switch from a TFTP server

and extract the files. You can download an image file and replace or keep the current image. The archive

download-sw privileged EXEC command both downloads and extracts the files.

To download the image for a CGESM switch, follow these steps:

Step 1 Go to: http://www.hp.com/support and select the appropriate country or region.

Step 2 From the Support and Drivers page, click the Download drivers and software (and firmware) radio

button

Step 3 Enter CGESM in the product field and press the Right Arrow key.

Step 4 Select an operating system, then click on the desired blade infrastructure or firmware release.

Step 5 Click the download button to download the image.

To download the cryptographic software files, click the software depot link in the Notes section. Once

there, search for CGESM or go to the Enhancement releases and patch bundles section.

Step 6 Copy the image to the appropriate TFTP directory on the workstation, and make sure that the TFTP

server is properly configured.

For more information, refer to Appendix B in the software configuration guide for this release.

Step 7 Log into the switch through the console port or a Telnet session.

Step 8 (Optional) Ensure that you have IP connectivity to the TFTP server by entering this privileged EXEC

command:

ping tftp-server-address

For more information about assigning an IP address and default gateway to the switch, refer to the

software configuration guide for this release.

Step 9 Download the image file from the TFTP server to the switch. If you are installing the same version of

software that is currently on the switch, overwrite the current image by entering this privileged EXEC

command:

archive download-sw /overwrite /reload tftp:[[//location]/directory]/image-name.tar

The /overwrite option overwrites the software image in flash memory with the downloaded one.

The /reload option reloads the system after downloading the image unless the configuration has been

changed and not saved.

For //location, specify the IP address of the TFTP server.

For /directory/image-name.tar, specify the directory (optional) and the image to download. Directory

and image names are case sensitive.

This example shows how to download an image from a TFTP server at 198.30.20.19 and to overwrite

the image on the switch:

Switch# archive download-sw /overwrite tftp://198.30.20.19/cgesm-i6l2-tar.122-25.SE1.tar

You also can download the image file from the TFTP server to the switch and keep the current image by

replacing the /overwrite option with the /leave-old-sw option.
