Upgrading The Boot Code; Upgrading The Flash Code - HP ProCurve 9304M Installation And Configuration Manual

Installation and Basic Configuration Guide
NOTE: HP devices are TFTP clients but not TFTP servers. You must perform the TFTP transaction from the HP
device. You cannot "put" a file onto the HP device using the interface of your TFTP server.
NOTE: If you are upgrading redundant management modules, the flash code is automatically copied from the
active management module to the standby module when you reload. However, the boot code is not automatically
copied. See "File Synchronization Between the Active and Standby Redundant Management Modules" on
page 3-11.

Upgrading the Boot Code

To upgrade the boot code on a management module, use the following CLI method.
USING THE CLI
1. Place the new boot code on a TFTP server to which the HP device has access.
2. Enter either of the following commands at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI (example: HP9300#) to copy
the boot code from the TFTP server into the flash memory of the management module:
• copy tftp flash <ip-addr> <image-file-name> boot
• ncopy tftp <ip-addr> <image-file-name> flash boot
3. Verify that the code has been successfully copied by entering the following command at any level of the CLI:
• show flash
The line that begins "Boot Image size" lists the boot code version, at the end of the line.
4. If the boot code version is correct, reload the software by entering one of the following commands:
• reload (this command boots from the default boot source, which is the primary flash area by default)
• boot system flash primary | secondary

Upgrading the Flash Code

When you upgrade the flash code, you must upgrade the flash code on the management module (if the chassis
contains any) to the same software release, before you reboot.
The following sections describe how to upgrade the flash code.
Upgrading the Flash Code on a Management Module
To upgrade flash code on a management module:
1. Place the new flash code on a TFTP server to which the HP device has access.
2. Enter either of the following commands at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI (example: HP9300#) to copy
the flash code from the TFTP server into the flash memory of the management module:
• copy tftp flash <ip-addr> <image-file-name> primary | secondary
• ncopy tftp <ip-addr> <image-file-name> flash primary | secondary
3. Verify that the flash code has been successfully copied by entering the following command at any level of the
CLI:
• show flash
The line that begins "Compressed Pri Code size" lists the flash code version in the primary flash, at the end of
the line. Similarly, the line that begins "Compressed Sec Code size" lists the flash code version in the
secondary flash.
4. If the flash code version is correct, go to Step 6. Otherwise, go to Step 1.
5. Reload the software by entering one of the following commands:
