slot
slot-number
: Specifies the slot number of the MPU for which the startup images are specified.
(In standalone mode.)
chassis
chassis-number
slot
slot-number
: Specifies the MPU for which the startup images are
specified in the IRF fabric. The
chassis-number
argument represents the IRF member ID of the
device that holds the card, and the
slot-number
argument represents the slot number of the card. (In
IRF mode.)
backup
: Specifies the files as backup startup files. Backup startup images are used only when main
images are not available.
main
: Specifies the files as main startup files. The device always first attempts to start up with main
startup files.
Usage guidelines
Before specifying startup software images, you must save the upgrade file to the device.
•
In standalone mode, save the file to the root directory of a storage medium on the active MPU.
•
In IRF mode, save the file to the root directory of a storage medium on the global active MPU.
If the storage medium is partitioned, save the files to the root directory of the first partition.
If you specify a standby MPU, the system automatically copies the upgrade file to the flash memory
on the specified MPU, and sets images in the file as startup images. If a file with the same name as
the upgrade file already exists, you must choose whether to overwrite the existing file.
The
boot-loader file
command overwrites the entire startup software image list. To add new startup
feature images, specify all feature image files, including feature image files in the old startup
software image list. The new startup software image list will contain only the feature image files that
are specified in the command.
Examples
# On an HPE 7910/HPE 7910 TAA switch in standalone mode, specify
flash:/all.ipe
as the backup
startup image file for the MPU in slot 10.
<Sysname> boot-loader file flash:/all.ipe slot 10 backup
Verifying image file......Done.
Images in IPE:
boot.bin
system.bin
ssh.bin
This command will set the backup startup software images. Continue? [Y/N]:Y
Add images to target slot.
flash:/boot.bin already exists on slot 10.
flash:/system.bin already exists on slot 10.
flash:/ssh.bin already exists on slot 10.
Overwrite it? [Y/N]:y
Decompressing file boot.bin to flash:/boot.bin....................................Done.
Decompressing file system.bin to flash:/system.bin................................Done.
The images that have passed all examinations will be used as the backup startup software
images at the next reboot on slot 10.
# On an HPE 7910/HPE 7910 TAA IRF fabric, specify
flash:/all.ipe
as the backup startup image file
for the MPU in slot 10 of member device 1.
<Sysname> boot-loader file flash:/all.ipe chassis 1 slot 10 backup
Verifying image file......Done.
