If you want to upgrade other software images, go to the appropriate upgrade section for information. If you

Upgrading the Management Module’s IronWare Image
To upgrade the management module’s IronWare image (primary or secondary), you must perform the following
steps:
NOTE:
If you are upgrading from a release earlier than 3.8.00c to 3.9.00 and later, then you should delete the
mbridge.old
file from the flash of both active and standby MPs before starting the upgrade. The upgrade may fail
if this procedure is not followed.
NOTE:
Typically lack of available flash memory is only seen in the 32-slot chassis.
1.
Verify that you have enough available bytes free in the flash memory before you begin the upgrade procedure
by entering the following command:
