Use the install command after the software files have
been transferred to the switch via FTP. For example:
-> install /flash/working/*.img
Note. For more information on the install command, refer
to the OmniSwitch 7700/7800/8800 Switch Management
Guide or the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide.
6
Reload the switch from the /flash/working directory.
To do this, enter
-> reload working no rollback-timeout
at the CLI prompt.
Note. This reload process will take a few moments to
complete.
Following the reload, the switch will come up running
from the /flash/working directory (i.e., the new release
software) until the next system reboot. Meanwhile, the
software in the /flash/certified directory remains
unchanged and available as a last known good version if
an error should occur with the new software.
Once the release software is considered valid and reliable
with your network configuration, the contents of the
/flash/working directory can be copied to the
/flash/certified directory via the copy working certified
command.

1
Verify that the OK1 LED is solid green and the OK2
LED is flashing green on both the primary and secondary
CMM modules.
2
Next, verify that all required image files from the new
software release are located on your computer's hard drive
or a locally-accessible server.
3
Establish an FTP session to the switch, then access the
/flash/working directory.
Note. Before attempting to establish an FTP session, be
sure that you have first unlocked the FTP session type via
the aaa authentication command. Otherwise, an FTP
login error will occur. See
page 25
for more information.
4
Using your FTP client or the CLI's rm command,
delete all .img files from the /flash/working directory on
the primary CMM. (To determine whether you are logged
into the primary CMM, use the show running-directory
command.) You can use the asterisk (*) wildcard to delete
all .img files at once. For example:
-> rm working/*.img
Important. Do not delete the boot.cfg file. Otherwise,
any configuration changes you have saved will be lost.
Also, do not delete files from the /flash/certified direc-
tory.
