fabric as determined in step 7 is fabric 1, the <path to remote file> would be
Fabric_1-2_backup_date.
Note: For an HP workstation, where there is a tftp user, specify the path name
from the tftp user's home directory to the directory of the remote file. For a Sun
workstation, where there is no tftp user, specify the full path name to the directory
of the remote file.

When the backup has completed, the following message is displayed:
CDB backup was successful.

For a 5.0G configuration, repeat steps 6 through 8 for Fabric pair 3-4.
Procedure 25
Loading the previous software into flash memory
1
Remove old loads from flash on fabric pair 1-2
a. localhost::> operation flash
localhost::operation flash> dir
The list of file names is shown, for example:
V209_130
CURRENT
b. Delete all current loads. Vector 2.0 supports only one load in flash.
localhost::operation flash> delete <file>/foreos.exe
localhost::operation flash> delete <file>
Where <file> is the name of the file to be deleted (i.e. V209_130).
2
Enter the free command to clean up (de-fragment) flash memory
localhost::operation flash> free
Note: The Vector 2.0 software load requires approximately 1.2MB for the
software and up to 0.5MB to store a copy of the CDB during a switch of activity.
The amount of free space available after deleting the old software and
defragmenting flash memory should be greater than the new software load size
plus the 0.5 MB for the CDB file.

On fabric pair 1-2, download new software to the active fabric:
localhost::> operation load <remotehost>:<full path to remotefile>
Where <remotehost> is the IP address of the remote host on which the upgrade
file resides and <full path to remotefile> is the full path name of the upgrade file.
For example:
localhost::> operation load <ip address>:/tftpboot/VSS2.0.7_090_98.tar
