Upgrade methods You can upgrade switch software by using one of the following methods: Upgrade mode Upgrade from the CLI Upgrade from the boot menu In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) Object Remarks • Boot ROM • System software • Reboot the switch to validate the upgrade. • This method interrupts services. Patches This method does not interrupt services, and fixes the target system software only. • Boot ROM • System software This method can be used when the switch cannot start up.

You must upgrade software for the two MPUs. NOTE: You only need to upgrade the active MPU if the device has no standby MPU.
NOTE: • The delete /unreserved file-url command deletes a file permanently and the action cannot be undone. • The delete file-url command moves a file to the recycle bin and the file still occupies storage space. To permanently delete the file from the recycle bin, execute the reset recycle-bin command in the original directory of the file. Download the .app file to the switch Download the .app file to the storage medium (such as flash memory) of the active MPU and that of the standby MPU.
NOTE: • You can configure the switch as the FTP server, FTP client, or TFTP client. The transfer processes slightly vary. For more information about FTP and TFTP, see the Fundamentals Configuration Guide in the HP A7500 Switch Series Configuration Guides. • You can use the transfer procedure described in this section to transfer Boot ROM images, system software images, and patch files for upgrade from the CLI. Upgrade software from the CLI CAUTION: Make sure that the .
