Using your FTP client, upload all required .img files
from the new software release to the primary CMM's
/flash/working directory.
6 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 Switch Management Guide or the CLI Reference
Guide.

Reload the switch from the /flash/working directory.

During this reload, the secondary CMM takes over the primary
role and the switch runs 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/work-
ing directory can be copied to the /flash/certified directory of
each CMM by entering the following command:
-> copy working certified flash-synchro
This command provides two functions. It copies all contents
from /flash/working to the /flash/certified directory on the
primary CMM, and it copies all directory contents from the
primary CMM to the secondary CMM and synchronizes the
two modules. This helps to ensure effective CMM redundancy.
Note. The process initialized by the copy working
certified flash-synchro command will take a few
moments to complete.
