HP 12-Port 4X Fabric Copper Switch Commands
Administrative Commands
Appendix B
266
install
Synopsis:
The install command installs a downloaded system-image to the appropriate locations. The administrator
must then specify which system-image to use to boot the chassis, and reload the chassis.
Syntax:
install image:file
Image files must reside in the image file-system and the file name must have the .img extension.
Command Modes:
Privileged-execute mode.
Privilege Level:
Unrestricted read-write user.
Usage Guidelines:
After downloading the image file to the chassis controller, it must be installed. The CLI install command
performs everything necessary to install a new system-image to flash disk. It automatically installs all
necessary firmware and component images. Once installed, the administrator must reinitialize the chassis
using the newly installed system-image.
Run the boot-config command to specify the new system-image to use to initialize the chassis when it boots
up.
Only cards with an oper-status of up are updated. If a card is down when you run install, or a card is added
after running install, bring up the card and run install again. Specify the same image file. If the image is
already installed on a card, that card is skipped. Run the boot-config command again so that all cards know to
boot from the same system-image.
