Recovering From A Software Failure; Installation Notes - HP Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3020 Release Note

(Optional) Ensure that you have IP connectivity to the TFTP server by entering this privileged EXEC
Step 8
command:
ping tftp-server-address
For more information about assigning an IP address and default gateway to the switch, refer to the
software configuration guide for this release.
Step 9 Download the image file from the TFTP server to the switch. If you are installing the same version of
software that is currently on the switch, overwrite the current image by entering this privileged EXEC
command:
archive download-sw /overwrite /reload tftp:[[//location]/directory]/image-name.tar
The /overwrite option overwrites the software image in flash memory with the downloaded one.
The /reload option reloads the system after downloading the image unless the configuration has been
changed and not saved.
For //location, specify the IP address of the TFTP server.
For /directory/image-name.tar, specify the directory (optional) and the image to download. Directory
and image names are case sensitive.
This example shows how to download an image from a TFTP server at 198.30.20.19 and to overwrite
the image on the switch:
Switch# archive download-sw /overwrite tftp://198.30.20.19/cgesm-i6l2-tar.122-25.SE1.tar
You also can download the image file from the TFTP server to the switch and keep the current image by
replacing the /overwrite option with the /leave-old-sw option.
