BLADEOS 6.3 Application Guide
When the software requirements are met, use one of the following procedures to download the new software to your switch. You can use the BLADEOS CLI, the ISCLI, or the BBI to download and activate new software.
Using the BLADEOS CLI
1.At the Boot Options# prompt, enter:
Boot Options# gtimg
2.Enter the name of the switch software to be replaced:
Enter name of switch software image to be replaced ["image1"/"image2"/"boot"]: <image>
3.Enter the hostname or IP address of the FTP or TFTP server.
Enter hostname or IP address of FTP/TFTP server: <hostname or IP address>
4.Enter the name of the new software file on the server.
Enter name of file on FTP/TFTP server: <filename>
The exact form of the name will vary by server. However, the file location is normally relative to the FTP or TFTP directory (usually /tftpboot).
5.Enter your username for the server, if applicable.
Enter username for FTP server or hit return for
TFTP server: {<username><Enter>}
If entering an FTP server username, you will also be prompted for the password.
6.The system then prompts you to confirm your request. Once confirmed, the software will load into the switch.
7.If software is loaded into a different image than the one most recently booted, the system will prompt you whether you wish to run the new image at next boot. Otherwise, you can enter the following command at the Boot Options# prompt:
Boot Options# image
The system informs you of which software image (image1 or image2) is currently set to be loaded at the next reset, and prompts you to enter a new choice:
Currently set to use switch software "image1" on next reset. Specify new image to use on next reset ["image1"/"image2"]:
Specify the image that contains the newly loaded software.
