Rapier Switch User Guide

The default install is the install of last resort. The release for the default install can not be changed by the manager and is always the EPROM release. The patch for the default install may be set by the manager.

The temporary and preferred installs are completely configurable. Both the release and an associated patch may be set. The release may be EPROM or a release stored in FFS.

The RELEASE parameter specifies the release file for this install. The release file is either a file name of the form device:filename.ext for files in the file subsystem, or EPROM, to indicate the EPROM release. The default value for the device field is FLASH.

The PATCH parameter specifies the patch file for this install, and is a file name of the form device:filename.ext. The patch file is stored in FLASH. The default value for the device field is FLASH. If the patch name is not given, the patch file information for a given install is removed and only the release file will be loaded for the install.

A patch file can not be set up for an install unless a release file is already set up, or a release file is specified in the same command. This stops the inadvertent setting of an install to be just a patch file. When the switch reboots in such a case the particular install is ignored, which may have undesirable effects on the switch operation.

For security reasons this command will only be accepted if the user has SECURITY

OFFICER privilege.

To delete a particular install (except the default install) use the command:

DELETE INSTALL

To display the current install information, including which install is currently running in the switch, and how the install information was checked at the last reboot, use the command:

SHOW INSTALL
