show flashdisplay boot-loader
Displays the current flash memory precedence and the source of the current boot file (software
image). The switch has two flash memory locations: primary and secondary. In the display
boot-loader output:
• btm.swi is the primary flash memory.
• secondary.swi is the secondary flash memory.
When the switch is configured with primary flash as the default boot source, this command shows
that the primary boot file (software image) is in primary flash (btm.swi):
HP Switch# display boot-loader
The next primary boot file of MM is: flash:/cfa0/btm.swi
The next backup boot file of MM is: flash:/cfa0/secondary.swi
The current boot file of MM is: flash:/cfa0/btm.swi
When the switch is configured with secondary flash as the default boot source, this command
shows that the primary boot file (software image) is in secondary flash (secondary.swi):
HP Switch# display boot-loader
The next primary boot file of MM is: flash:/cfa0/secondary.swi
The next backup boot file of MM is: flash:/cfa0/btm.swi
The current boot file of MM is: flash:/cfa0/secondary.swi
Field Descriptions
next primary boot file: The current default flash memory location for the next reload or boot
operation. Can be either the primary or secondary flash.
next backup boot file: The current non-default flash memory location. Can be either the primary
or secondary flash.
current boot file: The flash memory location from which the switch was last booted. Can be either
primary or secondary flash.
NOTE: “of MM” appears in the display boot-loader output on switches that support dual memory
modules, and refers to the current active (Actv) memory module.
Operating Notes
Both the primary flash and a secondary flash contain a software image. Any valid software image
can be loaded into either flash memory.
This command indicates which flash memory is the default when the switch is booted with any of
the following commands:
reload
boot [system ]
To change the flash memory default, use this command:
boot set-default flash < primary | secondary >
For more on switch memory operation, refer to the “Switch Memory and Configuration” chapter
in the latest Basic Operation Guide for your switch.
