Before the download begins, the switch prompts you to install the image immediately after the
download is finished. If you install the image immediately after download, the switch reboots.
If you download and install the software image on the active partition, you need to reboot the
●
switch. 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 download and install the software image on the non-active partition, you do not need to
●
reboot the switch.
If you install the image at a later time, use the following command to install the software:
●
install image <fname> {<partition>} {msm <slotid>} {reboot}
You can also perform a hitless upgrade on ExtremeWare XOS modular software packages (.xmod files).
To perform a hitless upgrade of a software package, you must install the core software image first, and
the version number of the modular software package must match the version number of the core image
that it will be running with. For more information about hitless upgrade, please see the ExtremeWare
XOS Concepts Guide.
Example
The following command downloads the switch software image from the TFTP server at 10.10.15.04,
from the file named bd10K-11.0.0.25.xos:
download image 10.10.15.04 bd10K-11.0.0.25.xos
Although the example command specifies a BlackDiamond 10K image, the output is similar on all
modular switches. On a modular switch, if you download an image into the active partition, you see
output similar to the following:
Do you want to install image after downloading? (y - yes, n - no, <cr> - cancel) Yes
