download image [[<hostname> | <ipaddress>] <filename> {{vr} <vrname>} | memorycard
<filename>] {<partition>} {msm <slotid>}
NOTE
If the backup MSM is installed in slot B, specify msm B. If the backup MSM is installed in slot A, specify msm
A.
Before the download begins, the switch prompts you to install the image immediately after the
download is finished. If you install the image immediately after download on the active partition,
the switch MSM reboots.
●
If you download and install the software image on the active partition, you will immediately
reboot the MSM. The following message appears when downloading and installing on the active
partition:
Image will be installed to the active partition, a reboot required. Do you
want to continue? (y or n)
Enter
y
to continue the installation and reboot the MSM. Enter
n
to cancel.
●
If you download and install the software image on the non-active partition, you will need to
reboot the MSM manually before you proceed. Use the following command to reboot the switch:
reboot {time <month> <day> <year> <hour> <min> <sec>} {cancel} {warm} {msm <slot_id>}
Reboot only the backup MSM so the switch will continue to forward traffic.
●
If you install the image at a later time, use the following command to install the software:
install image <fname> {<partition>} {msm <slotid>} {reboot}
3 Initiate failover from the primary MSM to the backup MSM using the following command:
run msm-failover {force}
When you failover from the primary MSM to the backup MSM, the backup becomes the new
primary, runs the software on its active partition, and provides all of the switch management
functions.
4 Select the partition to download the image to and download and install the new ExtremeWare XOS
software on the new backup MSM (this was the original primary MSM) using the following
command:
download image [[<hostname> | <ipaddress>] <filename> {{vr} <vrname>} | memorycard
<filename>] {<partition>} {msm <slotid>}
NOTE
If the new backup MSM is installed in slot A, specify msm A. If the new backup MSM is installed in slot B,
specify msm B.
Before the download begins, the switch prompts you to install the image immediately after the
download is finished. If you install the image immediately after download on the active partition,
the switch MSM reboots.
●
If you download and install the software image on the active partition, you will immediately
reboot the MSM. The following message appears when downloading and installing on the active
partition:
Image will be installed to the active partition, a reboot required. Do you
want to continue? (y or n)
Enter
y
to continue the installation and reboot the MSM. Enter
n
to cancel.
