R21xx-HP FlexFabric 11900 Fundamentals Command Reference

158
ipe ipe-filename: Specifies the name of a .ipe file in the format storage medium name:/xxx.ipe, for
example, flash:/a.ipe. It can be a case-insensitive string of 1 to 63 characters. The specified file must be
saved in the root directory of a storage medium on the active MPU. (In standalone mode.)
ipe ipe-filename: Specifies the name of a .ipe file in the format storage medium name:/xxx.ipe, for
example, flash:/a.ipe. It can be a case-insensitive string of 1 to 63 characters. The specified file must be
saved in the root directory of a storage medium on the global active MPU. (In IRF mode.)
slot slot-number: Specifies the slot number of the standby MPU. If the device has only one MPU, enter the
slot number of the MPU to upgrade the whole device. (In standalone mode.)
chassis chassis-number slot slot-number: Specifies the member ID and slot number of the standby MPU.
If the member has only one MPU, enter the member ID and slot number of the MPU to upgrade the whole
fabric. (Single-chassis in IRF mode.)
chassis chassis-number: Specifies the member ID of a subordinate member. &<1-3> indicates that you
can specify a space-separated list of up to three member IDs. When the IRF fabric has multiple members,
you can specify only one member ID if the old version and the new version are compatible and can
specify multiple member IDs if the old version and the new version are incompatible. (Multichassis in IRF
mode.)
Usage guidelines
In standalone mode, when the device has only one MPU, specify the slot number of the MPU for this
command. When the device has two MPUs, specify the slot number of the standby MPU for this
command. In either case, this command performs the following operations:
• Examines the compatibility of the specified images with the running versions. The result might be
compatible or incompatible.
• Determines the ISSU methods.
The ISSU methods available for a compatible version include:
{ Incremental upgrade. During the upgrade, the involved processes will be upgrade.
{ ISSU reboot. During the upgrade, CPUs will be rebooted.
{ Reboot. During the upgrade, the device (if single-MPU) or the standby MPU (if dual-MPU) will
be rebooted.
The ISSU method for an incompatible version is always reboot.
• Uses the ISSU methods to upgrade the specified MPU, and configures the upgrade software images
as the main startup software images for the specified MPU.
In IRF mode:
An IRF fabric might have a single member or multiple members, and a single-chassis IRF fabric might
have one or two MPUs:
• When the IRF fabric has only one member and the member has only one MPU, specify the member
ID and slot number of the only MPU for this command.
• When the IRF fabric has only one member and the member has two MPUs, specify the member ID
and slot number of the standby MPU for this command.
• When the IRF fabric has multiple members, specify one or more subordinate members for this
command.
In any of these cases, the command performs the following operations:
• Examines the compatibility of the specified images with the running versions. The result might be
compatible or incompatible.
