Brocade Communications Systems S3-1002483-03 Upgrading the interface module’s IronWare image

6 Upgrading images independently

To upgrade monitor and boot images simultaneously for an interface, perform the following steps:

1.Place the new monitor and boot images 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 monitor and boot images to the BigIron RX. Enter one of the following commands at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI (example: BigIron RX#):

TABLE 27 Command syntax for upgrading the monitor and boot images on the interface module

Command syntax	Description
copy tftp lp <ip-addr><image-name>mon all	Copies the latest monitor image from the TFTP server to all
<slot-number>	interface modules or to the specified interface module
	(slot-number).

copy tftp lp <ip-addr><image-name>mon copy-boot all <slot-number>

Copies the latest monitor and boot images from the TFTP server to all interface modules or to the specified interface module (slot-number).

For information about the image name to specify, refer to Table 22.

3.Verify that the new images were successfully copied to code flash by entering the following command at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI:

BigIron RX# show flash

Check for the monitor image, boot image, and the date and time at which the new images were built.

4.If you want to upgrade other software images, go to the appropriate upgrade section for information. If you have completed upgrading the software images, you must reboot the management module to complete the upgrade process. For more information, refer to “Rebooting the management module” on page 139.

Upgrading the interface module’s IronWare image

To upgrade the IronWare image (primary or secondary) on all interface modules or an interface module in a specified chassis slot, 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 all interface modules or an interface module in a specified chassis slot. To perform this step, enter one of the following commands at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI (example: BigIron RX#):

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

•copy tftp lp <TFTP-server-ip-addr><image-name>primary secondary <chassis-slot-number>

•copy slot1 slot2 lp <image-name>primary secondary all

•copy slot1 slot2 lp <image-name>primary secondary <chassis-slot-number>

For example, to copy the interface module IronWare image from TFTP server 10.10.12.12, enter

BigIron RX# copy tftp lp 10.10.12.12 rlp02702h.bin primary all
