NOTE
When you use the
install firmware
command to install the new BootROM and firmware images, all of the I/O
modules enter the Down state. Upgrade the firmware when you can schedule a downtime for your network.
NOTE
Upgrading the firmware on a BlackDiamond 12804 switch can take a minimum of 6 minutes per slot.
For single MSM systems, reboot the switch using the
reboot
command after the firmware installation is
complete.
For dual MSM systems, the
install firmware
command cannot install all of the necessary software
while the MSM is primary. To completely install the firmware, an MSM failover is required. To do this,
complete the following:
1
On the primary MSM, use the
install firmware
command to install the new BootROM and/or
firmware images.
2
When the installation is complete, initiate failover to the backup MSM using the
run msm-failover
command.
3
On the new primary MSM, use the
install firmware
command to install the remaining firmware
images.
4
When the installation is complete, return to your original primary MSM by initiating failover from
the new backup MSM to the original primary MSM using the
run msm-failover
command.
NOTE
Because two failovers are required for a dual-MSM firmware installation, you do not use the
reboot
command
after executing the firmware installation.
Displaying BootROM and Firmware Versions.
To display the BootROM (firmware) version for all modules
and PSU controllers installed in the switch, use the
show version
command.
Recovering From a Corrupted BootROM—BlackDiamond 8800 Series Switch Only.
If your default BootROM
image becomes corrupted, you can force the MSM to boot from an alternate BootROM image by
inserting a pen into the Alternate (A) and Reset (R) holes on the BlackDiamond 8800 MSM and
applying pressure. For more information, please refer to the
Extreme Networks Consolidated XOS
Hardware Installation Guide

Example
The following command installs the newer firmware image(s):
