Upgrading the Software or BootROM on Your Switches
EPICenter Reference Guide
191
The top portion of the page shows the selected image (device or slot image) or BootROM, the
destination and reboot options, and whether the configuration file should be downloaded after the
image upgrade.
The
Partition to use after reboot
field shows the partition that will be used upon reboot—this will
always be the same partition as the destination of the image. For ExtremeWare devices, this will be the
partition you selected as the image destination. For ExtremeXOS devices, the image always goes to the
non-current partition. (However, for a modular upgrade, you can specify the location).
The
Upgrade on the following devices
list shows the devices you have selected for upgrade.
You cannot make changes to these choices on this page, but you can use the
<<Back
button to return to
the previous pages of the wizard to change your selections.
If the settings are correct, click
Finish
to proceed with the upgrade.
If the images do not require a multi-step upgrade, the upgrade proceeds without any additional
prompts. A Messages From Server window shows the progress of the upgrade on the selected devices.
This is the original behavior. When finished, the devices reboot according to the setting of the Reboot
Options.
Performing a Multi-Step Upgrade
EPICenter allows you to perform a procedure called a multi-step upgrade. Using the multi-step upgrade
EPICenter automatically determines the appropriate upgrade path for both the device BootROM and
image. The EPICenter client software compares the desired (destination) image and BootROM versions
to the existing (source) image and BootROM versions loaded on the switch to determine what
intermediate steps, if any, are required.
Only Extreme Networks “
i
-series” switches are evaluated for a multi-step upgrade. Extreme devices that
are not part of the “
i
-series” can be upgrade only using a single step method.
NOTE
For more information on upgrading your Extreme switch, see the ExtremeWare Release Notes.
Upgrade Logic
The multi-step upgrade feature uses the following logic:
●
If the destination image version is greater than or equal to ExtremeWare version 6.1.9, first check the
BootROM version. The BootROM version must be at least Boot 7.6, if not, upgrade the BootROM to
Boot 7.6.
●
If the source software image version is less than ExtremeWare version 6.1.9 and the destination
image is greater than ExtremeWare version 6.1.9, upgrade the software image version to
ExtremeWare version 6.1.9.
●
If the source software image version is less than ExtremeWare version 6.2.2 and the destination
image version is greater than ExtremeWare version 6.2.2, upgrade the device to ExtremeWare version
6.2.2.
●
If the destination software version is greater than or equal to ExtremeWare version 7.0.0, first check
the BootROM version. The BootROM version must be at least Boot 7.8, if not, upgrade to Boot 7.8.
