Appendix B Upgrading software Software upgrade enables you to have new features and fix bugs. Before performing an upgrade, use the release notes for the new software version to verify software and hardware compatibility and evaluate upgrade impacts. Software types The following software types are available: • BootWare image—A .bin file that contains a basic segment and an extended segment. The basic segment is the minimum code that bootstraps the system.
Upgrade method Upgrading from the CLI without using ISSU Software type Remarks • BootWare • Comware images This method is disruptive. If you are upgrading MPUs, you must reboot the switch to complete the upgrade. If you are upgrading the BootWare of a card (an LPU or switching fabric module), you must reboot the card. (excluding patches) NOTE: You can upgrade the BootWare of LPUs and switching fabric modules from the CLI only.

NOTE: You can configure the switch as the FTP server, FTP client, or TFTP client. The transfer procedures vary slightly. For more information about FTP and TFTP, see HP 11900 Switch Series Fundamentals Configuration Guide. Upgrading software from the CLI Before upgrading software, verify that the software file is stored in the root directory of the flashes on the MPUs.

Appendix C Using BootWare menus Accessing the BootWare menu The BootWare program is stored in the built-in flash. It consists of one basic segment and one extended segment. The basic segment enables the system to complete basic initialization, and the extended segment bootstraps the Comware software images. Table 4 lists the menus that each segment provides and the major tasks you can perform with these menus. You can access these menus only during system startup.
