Boot-Loader Pex File - H3C S5830V2 Command Reference Manual

slot slot-number: Specifies the IRF member ID of the device for which the startup images are
specified.
backup: Specifies the files as backup startup files. Backup startup images are used only when main
images are not available.
main: Specifies the files as main startup files. The device always first attempts to start up with main
images.
Usage guidelines
Use this command to upgrade the startup software images on each member device. To upgrade only
the subordinate devices, you can also use the boot-loader update command.
Before specifying a startup software image file, save the upgrade file to the root directory of a storage
medium on the parent fabric. The system automatically copies the upgrade file to the flash memory
on the IRF member device or PEX you are upgrading, and sets images in the file as startup images.
If a file with the same name as the upgrade file already exists, you must choose whether to overwrite
the existing file.
When an .ipe image package file is used for upgrade, you must choose whether to delete the file
after the system decompresses the file.
The boot-loader file command overwrites the entire startup software image list. To add new startup
feature images, specify all feature image files in the old startup image list, including feature image
files. The new startup software image list will contain only the feature image files that are specified in
the command.
