Specifying the startup image file and completing the upgrade Perform this task in user view. Step Command • Method 1: boot-loader file ipe-filename slot slot-number { backup | main } 1. Specify the upgrade file as • Method 2: the main startup image file boot-loader file boot for the master device. boot-package system system-package [ feature feature-package& ] slot slot-number { backup | main } 2. Specify main startup images for each subordinate device. • Method 1: boot-loader file ipe-filename slot slot-number { backup | main } • Method 2: boot-loader file boot boot-package system system-package [ feature feature-package& ] slot slot-number { backup | main } • Method 3: boot-loader update slot slot-number 3. Save the running configuration. save 4. Reboot the IRF fabric. reboot Remarks You can also specify a backup startup image file. If method 1 is used, the file name must take the storage-medium:/base-filename.ipe format, for example, flash:/startup.ipe. If method 2 is used, all file names must take the storage-medium:/base-filename.bin format, for example, flash:/startup-boot.bin. Skip this step if you have only one device. To use method 3, make sure you understand the following requirements and upgrade results: • If the master device has started up with main startup images, its main startup images are synchronized to the subordinate devices, regardless of whether any change has been made to this set of startup images. • If the master device has started up with backup startup images, its backup startup images are synchronized to the subordinate devices, regardless of whether any change has been made to this set of startup images. • Startup image synchronization will fail if any software image being synchronized is corrupted or not available. This step makes sure any configuration you have made can survive a reboot. At startup, each device reads the preloaded BootWare image to RAM, loads the startup images in the file, and sets the images as both current software images and startup software images. 95

Specifying the startup image file and completing
the upgrade
Perform this task in user view.
Step
Command
Remarks
1.
Specify the upgrade file as
the main startup image file
for the master device.
Method 1:
boot-loader file
ipe-filename
slot
slot-number
{
backup
|
main
}
Method 2:
boot-loader file boot
boot-package
system
system-package
[
feature
feature-package
&<1-30> ]
slot
slot-number
{
backup
|
main
}
You can also specify a backup startup
image file.
If method 1 is used, the file name must
take the
storage-medium
:/
base-filename
.ipe
format, for example,
flash:/startup.ipe.
If method 2 is used, all file names must
take the
storage-medium
:/
base-filename
.bin
format, for example,
flash:/startup-boot.bin.
2.
Specify main startup
images for each
subordinate device.
Method 1:
boot-loader file
ipe-filename
slot
slot-number
{
backup
|
main
}
Method 2:
boot-loader file boot
boot-package
system
system-package
[
feature
feature-package
&<1-30> ]
slot
slot-number
{
backup
|
main
}
Method 3:
boot-loader update
slot
slot-number
Skip this step if you have only one
device.
To use method 3, make sure you
understand the following requirements
and upgrade results:
If the master device has started up
with main startup images, its main
startup images are synchronized to
the subordinate devices, regardless
of whether any change has been
made to this set of startup images.
If the master device has started up
with backup startup images, its
backup startup images are
synchronized to the subordinate
devices, regardless of whether any
change has been made to this set
of startup images.
Startup image synchronization will
fail if any software image being
synchronized is corrupted or not
available.
3.
Save the running
configuration.
save
This step makes sure any configuration
you have made can survive a reboot.
4.
Reboot the IRF fabric.
reboot
At startup, each device reads the
preloaded BootWare image to RAM,
loads the startup images in the file, and
sets the images as both current
software images and startup software
images.
