Installing A Modular Software Package - Extreme Networks ExtremeWare XOS Guide Manual

Software Upgrade and Boot Options
If you download and install the software image on the active partition, the switch automatically
reboots after the download and installation is completed. The following message appears when
downloading and installing on the active partition:
Image will be installed to the active partition, a reboot required. Do you want
to continue? (y or n)
Enter to continue the installation and reboot the switch. Enter
y
If you install the image at a later time, the image is still downloaded and saved to the switch, but
you must use the following command to install the software:
install image <fname> {<partition>} {msm <slotid>} {reboot}

Installing a Modular Software Package

In addition to the functionality available in the ExtremeWare XOS core image, you can add functionality
to your switch by installing modular software packages. Modular software packages are contained in
files named with the file extension
software packages are built at the same time as core images and are designed to work in concert with
the core image, so the version number of a modular software package must match the version number
of the core image that it will be running with. For example, the modular software package for SSH
named as follows:
bd10K-11.0.0.25-ssh.xmod
can run only with the core image named:
bd10K-11.0.0.25.xos
A modular software package can be installed on the active partition or on the inactive partition. You
would install on the active partition if you wished to add the package functionality to the currently
running core image without having to reboot the switch. You would install on the inactive partition if
you wanted the functionality available after a switch reboot.
To install the package, you use the same process that you use to install a new core image. Follow the
process described in the earlier section
the package, see "Understanding Hitless Upgrade—BlackDiamond 10K Switch Only" on page
You activate the installed modular software package either by rebooting the switch or by issuing the
following command:
run update
Installed packages can be uninstalled by issuing the following command:
uninstall image <fname> <partition> {msm <slotid>} {reboot}
