Upgrading the images independently Note: Using the unified approach is the easier single step process and also the preferred one. If you do not want to use the unified software upgrade procedure to upgrade your modules boot, monitor and system images, you can do them one by one separately, as described in the sections below. Upgrading the monitor and boot images on the management module To upgrade the monitor and boot images on the management module, perform the following steps: 1. Place the new boot images on a TFTP server to which the BigIron RX system has access or on a PCMCIA flash card inserted in slot 1 or slot 2. 2. Copy the new monitor and boot images to the BigIron RX. Enter one of the following commands at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI (For example: BigIron RX#): Table 6: Command syntax for upgrading monitor and boot images on the management module Command syntax Description copy tftp flash Copies the latest monitor image from the TFTP server to mon flash. copy tftp flash Copies the latest boot images from the TFTP server to flash. boot copy tftp flash Copies the latest monitor and boot images from the TFTP mon copy-boot server to flash.

If you have completed upgrading the software images, you must reboot the management module to complete the upgrade process.
