Upgrading from the
Command Line
Interface
This section describes how to upgrade files to your Switch from the
Command Line Interface (CLI).
Introduction
Before upgrading the software to your Switch from the CLI, it is
important to check the contents of the flash to ensure that there is
enough space to download the new files.
The flash space needed for the new files is approximately 5.5 MB.
1
To check the contents of the flash, logon to your Switch either via a telnet
connection or directly via the console to display the User View in the CLI
and enter the following:
dir unit1>flash:
A file list similar to the following is displayed:
Directory of unit1>flash:/
15367 KB total (10215 KB free)
2
You can check the contents of the flash for the remaining units in the
fabric by entering:
dir unit2>flash:
dir unit3>flash:
dir unit4>flash:
dir unit5>flash:
dir unit6>flash:
dir unit7>flash:
The file list should contain one of each file type (
.zip, .def, .cfg
and
.app
).
3
Any additional files should be considered for deletion to allow maximum
space for downloading the new files. To delete a file from the list enter:
delete/unreserved unit1>flash:/
