Updating Software

For easy software image management, the 8100fl switch supports the
download and upload of software images between the compact flash on the
management module and a server on the network (see
Restoring Files" on page
To update the installed software or firmware on the switch, enter the image
command at the Privileged Exec level of the CLI:
ProCurve#image install <imagename> [chassis | {management-
module slot | fabric-module slot | interface-module slot }]
where
imagename is the path and/or filename for the software distribution file.
When you install a new image, it will automatically be placed in the opposite
flash bank to the one currently in use. So if you are running in bank-A, it will
be placed in bank-B and vice versa.

Rebooting

You can use boot commands to immediately initiate software boots from a
software image stored in bank-A or bank-B.
To stop the system and force an immediate restart, enter the reload command
at the Privileged Exec level of the CLI:
ProCurve#reload [chassis | {management-module slot |
fabric-module slot | interface-module slot }] [soft | hard]
[reason]
To specify the boot image to use when rebooting the switch, enter the boot
system command at the Privileged Exec level of the CLI:
ProCurve#boot system [chassis | {management-module slot |
fabric-module slot | interface-module slot }] {bank-A |
bank-B}
