5Using your FTP client, upload all required .img files from the new software release to the primary CMM’s /flash/working directory.

6Use 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 Switch Management Guide or the CLI Reference Guide.

7Reload 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.

During this reload, the secondary CMM takes over the primary role and the switch runs 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/work- ing directory can be copied to the /flash/certified directory of each CMM by entering the following command:

-> copy working certified flash-synchro

This command provides two functions. It copies all contents from /flash/working to the /flash/certified directory on the primary CMM, and it copies all directory contents from the primary CMM to the secondary CMM and synchronizes the two modules. This helps to ensure effective CMM redundancy.

Note. The process initialized by the copy working certified flash-synchrocommand will take a few moments to complete.
