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:
