Usage guidelines
On an MSR2000 or MSR3000:
Before specifying startup software image files, you must perform the following tasks:
• Save the upgrade files to the root directory of the storage medium.
• If the specified software images require a license, register and activate a license for each image. If
a license-based software image lacks a license, the command execution result is as follows:
{ The boot-loader file boot boot-package system system-package [ feature
feature-package&<1-30> ] slot slot-number { backup | main } command cannot be issued.
{ The boot-loader file ipe-filename { backup | main } command can set all the images except the
license-based image that lacks a license.
For more information about licensing, see Fundamentals Configuration Guide.
On an MSR4000:
Use this command to upgrade the startup software images on both MPUs. To upgrade only the standby
MPU, you can also use the boot-loader update command.
Before specifying startup software image files, you must perform the following tasks:
• Save the upgrade files to the root directory of the storage medium on the active MPU.
• If the specified software images require a license, register and activate a license for each image. If
a license-based software image lacks a license, the command execution result is as follows:
{ The boot-loader file boot boot-package system system-package [ feature
feature-package&<1-30> ] { backup | main } command cannot be issued.
{ The boot-loader file ipe-filename slot slot-number { backup | main } command can set all the
images except the license-based image that lacks a license.
For more information about licensing, see Fundamentals Configuration Guide.
If the standby MPU is specified, the system examines the root directory of the storage medium 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.
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
# On an MSR2000 or MSR3000, specify cfa0:/all.ipe as the backup startup image file. The following
is the output from the MSR3000.
<Sysname> boot-loader file cfa0:/all.ipe 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 the device.
cfa0:/boot.bin already exists on the device.
cfa0:/system.bin already exists on the device.
