Loading Software The following section describes the procedure for loading new release software to your switch. Note that the procedure varies slightly for stand-alone and stacked OmniSwitch 6600 Family configurations. Follow the steps that apply to your system. Note. For more detailed information on loading software and working with directories in both stand-alone and stacked configurations, refer to the "Managing CMM Directory Content" chapter in the OmniSwitch 6600 Family Switch Management Guide. Stand-Alone Configurations 1 Verify that all required image files from the new software release are located on your computer's hard drive or a locally-accessible server. 2 Establish an FTP session to the switch, then access the /flash/working directory. Note. Before attempting to establish an FTP session, be sure that you have first unlocked the FTP session type via the aaa authentication command. Otherwise, an FTP login error will occur. See "Unlocking Session Types" on page 34 for more information. 54 Loading Software 3 Using your FTP client or the CLI's rm command, delete all .img files from the /flash/working directory. You can use the asterisk (*) wildcard to delete all .img files at once. For example: -> rm working/*.img Important. Do not delete the boot.cfg file. Otherwise, any configuration changes you have saved will be lost. Also, do not delete files from the /flash/certified directory. 4 Using your FTP client, upload all required .img files from the new software release to the /flash/working directory.
