R21xx-HP FlexFabric 11900 Fundamentals Command Reference
138
main: Specifies the files as main startup files. The device always first attempts to start up with main startup
files.
Usage guidelines
Use this command to upgrade the startup software images on all MPUs. To upgrade only standby MPUs,
you can also use the boot-loader update command.
In standalone mode:
Before using this command, you must save the startup software image file to the root directory of the flash
on the active MPU. If the standby MPU is specified, the system examines the root directory of the flash on
the standby MPU for any file with the same name as the file on the active MPU. If no such a file exists, the
system copies the specified file from the active MPU to the standby MPU and sets it as a startup image file.
If a file with the same name exists, you must choose whether to overwrite the file already on the standby
MPU.
In IRF mode:
Before using this command, you must save the startup software image file to the root directory of the flash
on the global active MPU. If a standby MPU is specified, the system performs the same procedure as in
standalone mode.
The boot-loader file command overwrites the entire startup software image list. To add new startup
feature images, specify all feature package files, including feature package files in the old startup
software image list. The new startup software image list will contain only the feature package files that
are specified in the command.
Examples
# In standalone mode, specify flash:/all.ipe as the backup startup image file for the MPU in slot 4.
<Sysname> boot-loader file flash:/all.ipe slot 4 backup
Images in IPE:
boot.bin
system.bin
ssh.bin
This command will set the backup startup software images. Continue? [Y/N]:Y
Add images to target slot.
flash:/boot.bin already exists on slot 4.
flash:/system.bin already exists on slot 4.
flash:/ssh.bin already exists on slot 4.
Overwrite it? [Y/N]:y
The specified file list will be used as the backup startup software images at the next
reboot on slot 4.
# In IRF mode, specify flash:/all.ipe as the backup startup image file for the MPU in slot 4 on IRF member
device 1.
<Sysname> boot-loader file flash:/all.ipe chassis 1 slot 4 backup
Images in IPE:
boot.bin
system.bin
ssh.bin
This command will set the backup startup software images. Continue? [Y/N]:Y
Add images to target slot.
flash:/boot.bin already exists on chassis 1 slot 4.
flash:/system.bin already exists on chassis 1 slot 4.
