b. Enter boot-config primary-image-source, and then paste the copied image file name, as shown in
the following example:
SFS-3012R# configure
SFS-3012R(config)# boot-config primary-image-source TopspinOS-2.1.0/build497
SFS-3012R(config)# exit
Step4 Reboot the chassis using the reload command.
Note You can also use the card shutdown and card no shutdown commands to reboot an individual
module if you do not need to update the entire chassis.
SFS-3012R# reload
Step5 Save the system configuration when prompted, and confirm that you wish to proceed with the reload, as
shown in the following example:
System configuration has been modified. Save?
[yes(default)/no/*.cfg] yes
Proceed with reload? [confirm]
SFS-3012R#
Step6 Following reboot, use the show card-inventory command to view the new primary image for all cards
and verify the update.
Updating the Software Image with the Element Manager GUIUse Element Manager to update the software image as follows:
Step1 Launch the Element Manager GUI.
Step2 Select Maintenance > File Management. The File Management window appears.
Note Perform steps 3 and 4 only if the .img file containing the required image is not on the control ler.
This situation usually occurs when updating the entire chassis to a new software version,
although it is possible that the software version already exists on the chassis but has not yet been
installed. If you are updating a single module to bring it into line with the other modules, then
it is usually not necessary to download the .img file again, unless it has been removed from the
controller.
