4. Install a New Image After downloading the image file to the chassis controller, it must be installed. The install
command installs the specified image file into the system.
To install an image file:
Step 1. In the privileged-execute mode, enter install image:file.
image specifies the file resides in the image file-system. file is the name of the image file to install.
Image files must reside in the image file-system and the file name must have the .img extension.
Syntax:
HP-IB#install image:image-file-name
HP-IB# install image:HP-AB291A-Release-1.1.3hp-build020.img Proceed with install?
[yes(default) | no]
************************* operation completed successfully
The name of the image file will change after it is installed.
NOTE 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. Be sure to
run boot-config again so that all cards know to boot off the same system-image.
View a card’s status by using the show card command. For information regarding installing a
new card, refer to “Installing the Host Channel Adapter” on page 28.
5. Specify a New Boot Image After a system-image is installed on the system chassis, specify the system-image to use
the next time it reboots. Use the boot-config command with the name of the system-image.
Step 1. Find the name of your new system image by listing all the image files on the chassis. Enter the dir image
command.
