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 Software type Remarks BootWare image 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 image 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.
