Performing a Hitless Upgrade on the Current Partition
The following example shows the commands necessary to perform a hitless upgrade on the current
partition. In this example, the primary partition is the current partition:
NOTE
If you download the image to the current partition, specifying the partition name is optional.
show switch
download image tftphost bd10K-11.1.0.14.xos primary msm B
run msm-failover
download image tftphost bd10K-11.1.0.14.xos primary msm A
After executing these commands, MSM B will be the master, and the primary partition will be the active
partition for both MSMs. The previously running software was overwritten on the primary partition,
and is no longer on the switch.
Saving Configuration Changes
The configuration is the customized set of parameters that you have selected to run on the switch. As
you make configuration changes, the new settings are stored in run-time memory. Settings that are
stored in run-time memory are not retained by the switch when the switch is rebooted. To retain the
settings and have them loaded when you reboot the switch, you must save the configuration to
nonvolatile storage.
The switch can store multiple user-defined configuration files, each with its own filename. By default,
the switch has two prenamed configurations: a primary and a secondary configuration. When you save
configuration changes, you can select to which configuration you want the changes saved or you can
save the changes to a new configuration file. If you do not specify a filename, the changes are saved to
the configuration file currently in use. Or if you have never saved any configurations, you are asked to
save your changes to the primary configuration.
NOTE
Configuration files have a .cfg file extension. When you enter the name of the file in the CLI, the system
automatically adds the .cfg file extension.
If you have made a mistake or you must revert to the configuration as it was before you started making
changes, you can tell the switch to use the backup configuration on the next reboot.
Each filename must be unique and can be up to 32 characters long. Filenames are also case sensitive.
For information on filename restrictions, please refer to the specific command in the
ExtremeWare XOS
Command Reference Guide .
To save the configuration, use the following command:
save configuration {primary | secondary | <existing-config> | <new-config>}
Where the following is true:
