Restoring or downgrading the BootWare image

To restore or downgrade the BootWare image for a card, make sure you have used the bootrom backup
command or the bootrom read command to back up the image to the Backup area of BootWare or the
storage media.
Before performing a downgrade, also verify software compatibility.
Perform the following task in user view to restore or downgrade the BootWare image:

Remarks
When you use method 3, make sure
you understand the following
requirements and upgrade results:
•
If the global active MPU started up
with main startup images, its main
startup images are synchronized to
the standby MPU. This
synchronization occurs regardless
of whether any change has been
made to this set of startup images.
•
If the global active MPU started up
with backup startup images, its
backup startup images are
synchronized to the standby MPU.
This synchronization occurs
regardless of whether any change
has been made to this set of startup
images.
•
Startup image synchronization will
fail if any software image being
synchronized is corrupted or is not
available.
This step makes sure any configuration
you have made can survive a reboot.
At startup, the MPUs read the
preloaded BootWare image to RAM
and load the startup images.
Verify that the current software images
are the same as the startup software
images.
