Upgrading the IronWare image on a management module

To upgrade the management module IronWare image (primary or secondary), you must perform the following steps:

1.Place the new IronWare image on a TFTP server to which the BigIron RX system has access or on a PCMCIA flash card inserted in slot 1 or 2.

2.Copy the new IronWare image from the TFTP server or a flash card in slot 1 or 2 to the management module's code flash or a flash card in slot 1 or 2.

To perform this step, enter one of the following commands at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI:

•copy tftp flash <TFTP-server-ip-addr><image-name>primary secondary

•copy tftp slot1 slot2 <TFTP-server-ip-addr><image-name>primary secondary

•copy slot1 slot2 flash <image-name>primary secondary

•copy slot1 slot2 slot1 slot2 <image-name><dest-name>

For example, to copy the management module's Ironware image from TFTP server 10.10.12.12, enter

BigIron RX# copy tftp flash 10.10.12.12 rmpr02702h.bin primary

3.Verify that the new IronWare image has been successfully copied to the specified destination by entering one of the following commands at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI:

•show flash (if the destination was code flash)

•dir /<path-name>/ (if the destination was slot 1 or 2)

4.Check for the primary or secondary images and the date and time that it was placed in the directory.

If you have completed upgrading the software images, you must reboot the management module to complete the upgrade process. For more information, see Rebooting the management module.
