Preparing For The Upgrade; Preloading The Boot Rom Image To Boot Rom - HP 5130 EI series Configuration Manual

If you skip this task, the device upgrades the Boot ROM automatically when it upgrades the startup
software images.
The Boot ROM image preloaded into the Boot ROM does not affect the device running status.
3. Specify the image file as the startup software image file.
4. Reboot the entire IRF fabric.
5. Verify the upgrade.

Preparing for the upgrade

1. Use the display version command to verify the current Boot ROM image version and startup
software version.
2. Use the release notes for the upgrade software version to evaluate the upgrade impact on your
network and verify the following items:
Software and hardware compatibility
Version and size of the upgrade software
Compatibility of the upgrade software with the current Boot ROM image and startup software
image
3. Use the dir command to verify that all IRF member devices have sufficient storage space for the
upgrade images. If the storage space is not sufficient, delete unused files by using the delete
command. For more information, see "Managing the file system."
4. Configure FTP and TFTP settings.
5. Use FTP or TFTP to download the upgrade image file.
The file must be stored in the root directory of any storage medium in the system.
For more information about FTP and TFTP configuration and operations, see "Configuring FTP" or
"Configuring TFTP"
