Upgrading Bootrom On Devices - Extreme Networks EPICenter Software Installation Manual

Rebooting Procedures for Multi-Step Upgrades
During a multi-step upgrade, your Extreme devices are automatically rebooted for each intermediate
upgrade process between the source image and the destination image. For example, if the multi-step
upgrade includes two sets of upgrade events, the switch is automatically rebooted between upgrade one
and upgrade two. If the multi-step upgrade includes three sets of events, the switch is automatically
rebooted between upgrade one and upgrade two, and again between upgrade two and upgrade three.
The "final" reboot of a multi-step procedure works identically to a standard, single upgrade of either
the software image or BootROM. The switch is rebooted according to the option you select using the
Reboot Options setting:
• Do not reboot after download indicates the devices should not be rebooted.
• Reboot immediately after download indicates the devices should be rebooted immediately after the
download. This selection also provides an option to restore the saved configuration to the device.
• Reboot after indicates the devices should be rebooted at a later time, and lets you specify the
number of hours (up to 72) to wait before doing the reboot.
