Bootrom update succeeded.
3) Set the main and backup boot files.
z Set the main boot file.
<H3C>boot-loader file flash:/ SWITCH002.app slot 0 main
This command will set boot file of the specified board, Continue? [Y/N]:y
The specified file will be used as a main boot file at the next time!
z Set the backup boot file.
<H3C>boot-loader file flash:/ SWITCH001.app slot 0 backup
This command will set boot file of the specified board, Continue? [Y/N]:y
The specified file will be used as a backup boot file at the next time!
z Display the boot file information.
<H3C> display boot-loader
The primary app to boot of board 0 at this time is: flash:/SWITCH001.app
The primary app to boot of board 0 at next time is: flash: /SWITCH002.app
The slave app to boot of board 0 at next time is: flash:/SWITCH001.app
<H3C> reboot
(Make sure that other configuration is saved before rebooting the system.)
After the above steps, you have completed upgrading of the Boot ROM program and
the host software.
Note that you must execute the reboot command to validate the host software package.
If the Flash memory does not have enough space, you can delete some program files
on the Flash after completing the Boot ROM upgrade. (You are recommended to delete
the host software packages that are no longer in use.) Then you can download the
desired host software package to the switch through FTP to upgrade the host software.
Note that the switch cannot be powered off during loading process.
6.3.2 Upgrading Using TFTP
Upgrading using TFTP is similar to upgrading using FTP, except that the protocol used
for downloading is TFTP. In this case, the switch can only function as a TFTP client to
download software from the TFTP server to its Flash. After software is downloaded, the
remaining procedure is the same as that in the case of upgrading using FTP.
6.4 Examples of Upgrading Boot ROM and Host Software of
the Dual SRPUs
The following gives an example to describe the entire procedure for upgrading the Boot
ROM program and host software of an S7502E switch (installed with dual SRPUs). The
upgrading procedure applies to all S7500E series switches.
