Furthermore, each interface module must be power-cycled in order for the new FPGA images to be loaded. Therefore,
you must reboot the system using the boot system command (not the reload command). Use this command to
reboot the management module, specifying primary or secondary to correspond with where you placed the new
software images:
•
boot system flash primary | secondary
During the management module reboot, the following synchronization events occur:
•
If you have a standby management module, the active management module compares the standby
module's monitor, primary, and secondary images to its own. If you have updated these images on the
active module, the active module automatically synchronizes the standby module's images with its own.
•
If you copied the primary and/or secondary ProCurve software image and/or monitor-and-boot image
to all interface modules using the copy command with the all keyword, the management module made
a copy of the image and stored it in its code flash under the names lp-primary-0, lp-secondary-0 or lp-
monitor-0. By default, the system checks the interface modules' ProCurve software images, which reside
in the code flash of the interface modules and the management module to make sure they are the same
in both locations. (The interface module images are retained on the management module for storage
only, and are not run by the management or interface modules.) If the images stored on the interface
and management modules are different, the system automatically enters "interactive mode" and prompts
you to do the following:
–
If you want to update the ProCurve software images in the interface module's code flash with the
images in the management module's code flash, enter the lp cont-boot sync <slot-number> | all
command at the Privileged EXEC prompt.
–
If you want to retain the ProCurve software images in the interface module's code flash, enter the
lp cont-boot no-sync <slot-number> | all command at the Privileged EXEC prompt.
Note: If you do not enter a command within 60 seconds, the synchronization proceeds automatically.
After the management module finishes booting, do the following:
•
Enter the show module command at any CLI level, and verify that the status of all interface modules
is CARD_STATE_UP.
•
Enter the show version command at any CLI level, and verify that all management and interface
modules are running the new software image version.
If you find that an interface module is in a waiting state or is running an older software image, then you may have
forgotten to enter the lp cont-boot sync <slot-number> command at the Privileged EXEC prompt.
Downloading a New Image Using a Script
With software version 02.1.00c, you can create a script to download new software images to your ProCurve 9408sl.
Use this command to download an image using a script:
syntax: copy tftp system <ip_addr> <download_script>
The <ip_addr> variable is used to identify the IP address of the tftp server that holds the script.
The <download_script> variable is the name of the script containing download specifications.
The CLI command first copies the download script specified to the system's memory. It then parses the script to
perform the software download specified in the script.
The following section describes the download script syntax.
# download script syntax:
# <spec_line>
# ...
# <spec_line>
# where <spec_line> == KEYWORD:<val>;
