B. Updating Software on a Management Module From a Release Earlier than 07.6.01b
To update the software on an M2, M4, or EP management module from a release EARLIER than 07.6.01b to release
07.8.01d:
1. Verify the version of boot code installed on the management module by entering the show flash command.
The boot code version is displayed at the end of the line that begins with "Boot Image size". Ensure that boot code
version 07.06.05 is displayed.
Notes: The show flash command only displays the version of boot code installed on the device. It does not display
the version of boot code running on the device.
If you rebooted the routing switch after installing boot code 07.06.05 (as described in "A. Updating Boot Code on a
Management Module to Version 07.06.05"), the required boot code is running. If you are not sure, ProCurve
recommends that you reboot the device now.
2. Store software release 07.6.01b (filename: H2R07601b.bin) on a TFTP server that the routing switch can access.
3. Update the software on the management module to version 07.6.01b by entering the following command:
copy tftp flash <ip-address> H2R07601b.bin [primary | secondary]
Where:
primary copies software to the primary (default) storage area in flash memory.
secondary copies software to the secondary area in flash memory.
If no redundant management module is installed, the message TFTP to Flash Done is displayed when the
update is complete.
If a redundant management module is installed, the message Sync Secondary code in flash...Done is
displayed when the flash images are synchronized and the update is complete.
4. Verify that the software has been successfully copied by entering the show flash command at any level of the CLI:
• The software release in the primary flash is displayed at the end of the line that begins with "Compressed
Pri Code Size".
• The software release in the secondary flash is displayed at the end of the line that begins with
"Compressed Sec Code Size".
Ensure that software release 07.6.01b is stored in the primary or secondary flash area.
5. Reboot the routing switch to load software release 07.6.01b from the area of flash memory (primary or
secondary) where you stored it.
6. Continue with "C. Updating Software on a Management Module From Release 07.6.01b or Greater" to update
the software to release 07.8.01d.
