Transferring code images between control modules
For example, to copy the control module’s image from PCMCIA flash card 1 of the
control module in slot 8 to flash card 1 of the control module in slot 9, enter the
following command on the control module in slot 8:
admin>
loadmate cm 1 1
To copy boot image 2 on the control module in slot 8 to the onboard flash memory of
the control module in slot 9, enter the following command on the control module in
slot 8:
admin>
loadmate boot
To transfer all images of any known load type on flash card 1 of the control module in
slot 9 to flash card 2 of the control module in slot 8, enter the following command on
the control module in slot 9:
admin>
loadmate 1 2
(executed )
You cannot run a
load
and
loadmate
operation or two
loadmate
operations
simultaneously. Troubleshooting the restore process
If the system terminates the process of loading a tar file, one of the following
messages might appear:
load aborted: not a tar image
load aborted: a tar image, inconsistent with the specified load-type.
load aborted: invalid/unknown image header.
load aborted: mismatched image for the specified load-type.
load aborted: invalid image, unsupported by load tar command.
The
load
command supports type checking to verify that the load type specified on
the command line matches the image header. The preceding messages indicate that
the type checking process discovered inconsistencies between the load type and the
image header. Check your command line and, if necessary, download the tar file
again.
The following warning message does not terminate the load operation, but indicates
that you are not loading the most recent software version:
load: warning: old image header version detected, load continued...
Finally, the following error messages can also appear when you use the
load
command to upload an image to a PCMCIA flash card on a Stinger unit:
