Switch Memory and Configuration Using Primary and Secondary Flash Image Options ProCurve(config)# boot system flash secondary System will be rebooted from secondary image. Do you want to continue [y/n]? Figure 6-15. Example of Boot Command with Secondary Flash Option In the above example, typing either a y or n at the second prompt initiates the reboot operation. Using the Fastboot feature. The fastboot command allows a boot sequence that skips the internal power-on self-tests, resulting in a faster boot time. When fastboot is enabled, it is saved to the standby management module when the config files are synchronized. Fastboot is used during the next bootup on either management module. Syntax: [no] fastboot Enables the fastboot option The no option disables the feature. Syntax: show fastboot Shows the status of the fastboot feature, either enabled or disabled. The fastboot command is shown below. ProCurve(config)# fastboot Using Reload The Reload command reboots the switch from the flash image that you are currently booted on (primary or secondary) or the flash image that was set either by the boot set-default command or by the last executed boot system flash command. Because reload bypasses some subsystem self-tests, the switch reboots faster than if you use either of the boot command options. Syntax: reload For example, if you change the number of VLANs the switch supports, you must reboot the switch in order to implement the change. The reload command prompts you to save or discard the configuration changes. 6-23
