5 Use the install command after the software files have been transferred to the switch via FTP. For example: -> install /flash/working/*.img Note. For more information on the install command, refer to the OmniSwitch 6600 Family Switch Management Guide or the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide. 6 Reload the switch from the /flash/working directory. To do this, enter -> reload working no rollback-timeout at the CLI prompt. Note. This reload process will take a few moments to complete. Following the reload, the switch will come up running from the /flash/working directory (i.e., the new release software) until the next system reboot. Meanwhile, the software in the /flash/certified directory remains unchanged and available as a last known good version if an error should occur with the new software. Once the release software is considered valid and reliable with your network configuration, the contents of the /flash/working directory can be copied to the /flash/certified directory via the copy working certified command. March 2005 Stacked Configurations 1 Verify that the OK1 LED is solid green and the OK2 LED is flashing green on both the stack's primary and secondary OmniSwitch 6600 Family switches. 2 Next, verify that all required image files from the new software release are located on your computer's hard drive or a locally-accessible server. 3 Establish an FTP session to the primary switch in the stack, 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. 4 Using your FTP client or the CLI's rm command, delete all .img files from the /flash/working directory on the stack's primary switch. (To determine whether you are logged into the primary switch, use the show runningdirectory command.) You can use the asterisk (*) wildcard to delete all .img files at once. For example: -> rm working/*.img Note. Do not delete the boot.cfg file. Otherwise, any configuration changes you have saved will be lost. Also, do not delete the boot.slot.cfg file or files from the /flash/certified directory. Loading Software 55

Loading Software

5
Use the
install
command after the software files have
been transferred to the switch via FTP. For example:
-> install /flash/working/*.img
Note.
For more information on the
install
command, refer
to the
OmniSwitch 6600 Family Switch Management
Guide
or the
OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide
.
6
Reload the switch from the
/flash/working
directory.
To do this, enter
-> reload working no rollback-timeout
at the CLI prompt.
Note.
This reload process will take a few moments to
complete.
Following the reload, the switch will come up running from
the
/flash/working
directory (i.e., the new release software)
until the next system reboot. Meanwhile, the software in the
/flash/certified
directory remains unchanged and available as
a last known good version if an error should occur with the
new software.
Once the release software is considered valid and reliable with
your network configuration, the contents of the
/flash/working
directory can be copied to the
/flash/certified
directory via the
copy working certified
command.
Stacked Configurations
1
Verify that the OK1 LED is solid green and the OK2
LED is flashing green on both the stack’s primary and
secondary OmniSwitch 6600 Family switches.
2
Next, verify that all required image files from the new
software release are located on your computer’s hard drive
or a
locally-accessible
server.
3
Establish an FTP session to the
primary
switch in the
stack, 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.
4
Using your FTP client or the CLI’s
rm
command,
delete all
.img
files from the
/flash/working
directory on
the stack’s primary switch. (To determine whether you are
logged into the primary switch, use the
show running-
directory
command.) You can use the asterisk (
*
) wild-
card to delete all
.img
files at once. For example:
-> rm working/*.img
Note.
Do not delete the
boot.cfg
file. Otherwise, any
configuration changes you have saved will be lost. Also,
do not delete the
boot.slot.cfg
file or files from the
/flash/certified
directory.
