Copying Cisco IOS Software Images Between Flash Memory Cards

This procedure describes how to copy a later Cisco IOS software image from one flash memory card to another flash memory card containing an earlier Cisco IOS software image. In this example, the following filenames apply:

•image.new—The new image on the flash memory card located in slot 1.

•image.old—The old image on the flash memory card in slot 0.

•image.boot—The bootable Cisco IOS software image stored in the onboard flash memory SIMM. (This image is used by default to boot the system if no other bootable image is available.)

This procedure assumes there is sufficient space on the flash memory card in slot 0 for both images (the new Cisco IOS software image and the old image).

•If there is not enough space for both images on the card in slot 0, use the delete command to delete unnecessary files from the flash memory card, but do not delete the image.old file.

•After deleting the files, use the squeeze command to remove the deleted files from the flash memory card in slot 0 permanently.

For additional information about the delete and squeeze commands, see the “Flash Memory Commands” section on page 4-49).

Use the following procedure to copy a bootable Cisco IOS software image from one flash memory card to another.

Step 1 Insert the flash memory card with the new image in slot 1.

Step 2 Enter the following command to copy the image.new file from the memory card in slot 1 to the memory card in slot 0:

Milo# copy slot1:image.new slot0:image.new
