Upgrading The Images Independently; Upgrading The Management Module Monitor Boot Images - Brocade Communications Systems PowerConnect B-RX Release Note

Upgrading the images Independently

Note: Using the unified approach is the easier single step process and also the preferred one.
If you don't want to use the unified software upgrade procedure to upgrade your modules boot, monitor
and system images, you can do them one by one separately, as described in the sections below.

Upgrading the management module Monitor boot images

To upgrade the management module monitor and boot image, perform the following steps:
1. Place the new boot images on a TFTP server to which the BigIron RX system has access or on a
PCMCIA flash card inserted in slot 1 or 2.
2. Copy the new monitor and boot images to the BigIron RX. Enter one of the following commands at
the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI (example:
Command syntax
copy tftp flash <TFTP-server-ip-addr> <image-name>
mon
copy tftp flash <TFTP-server-ip-addr> <image-name>
boot
copy tftp flash <TFTP-server-ip-addr> <image-name>
mon copy-boot
For example, to copy the management module boot and monitor image from TFTP server 10.10.12.12,
enter
BigIron RX# copy tftp flash 10.10.12.12 rmb02703a.bin mon copy-boot
Verify that the new monitor and boot images have been successfully copied to flash or slot 1 or 2 by

entering one of the following commands at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI:
show flash
•
dir /<path-name>/ (if the destination is slot 1 or 2)
•
Check for the boot image, monitor image, and the date and time at which the new images were
built.
