Copying The Software Upgrade Image To The Ace - Cisco 4700M Administration Manual

Appendix A Upgrading or Downgrading Your ACE Software
Verify the states of both ACEs by entering the show ft group detail command in Exec mode. Because
Step 12
both ACE-1 and ACE-2 are running the same version of software now, configuration mode is enabled.
The configuration is synchronized from ACE 2 (currently active) to ACE-1. If ACE-1 is configured with
a higher priority and preempt is configured on the FT group, ACE-1 reasserts mastership after it has
received all configuration and state information from ACE-2, making ACE-2 the new standby. ACE-1
becomes the active ACE once again.
Perform manual cleanup in the running-configuration files of both ACEs to remove unnecessary version
Step 13
configuration elements.
Enter the write memory all command in both ACEs to save the running-configuration files in all
Step 14
configured contexts to their respective startup-configuration files. This action will eliminate future errors
when the ACEs reload their startup-configuration files.
