Software Upgrade Commands; Boot-Loader File - H3C S5830V2 Command Reference Manual

Software upgrade commands

The switch can start up from the built-in flash memory or the USB disk. As a best practice, store the
startup images in the built-in flash memory. If you store the startup images on the USB disk, do not
remove the USB disk during the startup process.
Unless otherwise stated, "IRF fabric" refers to both a standalone IRF fabric and the parent fabric in
an IRF 3 system.
In an IRF 3 system, the master device on the parent fabric is also the master of the entire system.
For more information about IRF 3, see IRF Configuration Guide.

Parameters
boot boot-package: Specifies the file path of a .bin boot image file, a case-insensitive string. The file
must be stored in the root directory of a storage medium in the system. The maximum length is 63
characters for the storage-medium:/base-filename.bin segments of the file path. This length limit
does not include the IRF member ID or slot number in front of the storage medium segment. For
more information about specifying a file path, see "Managing the file system."

limit does not include the IRF member ID or slot number information in front of the storage medium
segment. For more information about specifying a file path, see "Managing the file system."
feature feature-package: Specifies a space-separated list of up to 30 .bin feature image file paths.
The file paths are case insensitive. The files must be stored in the root directory of a storage medium
in the system. The maximum length is 63 characters for the storage-medium:/base-filename.bin
segments of a file path. This length limit does not include the IRF member ID or slot number
information in front of the storage medium segment. For more information about specifying a file path,

characters for the storage-medium:/base-filename.ipe segments of the file path. This length limit
does not include the IRF member ID or slot number information in front of the storage medium
segment.
all: Specifies startup images for all devices. If you specify this keyword, the system copies
device-specific images automatically to the root directory of the storage medium on each device. For
a successful upgrade, make sure the specified files include the upgrade images for all devices.
