Upgrading The Boot File Through A System Reboot - HP 5800 Series Configuration Manual

Upgrading the boot file through a system reboot

CAUTION:
You must save the file to be used at the next device boot in the root directory of the device. Copy or move
•
a file to change the path of it to the root directory.
To run boot-loader successfully, save the file to be used at the next device boot in the root directory of
•
the storage media on a member device.
• You cannot specify the boot file to be used at the next boot of the USB device.
• The names of the files to be used at the next boot of the master and subordinate switches may be
different, but the versions of the files must be the same; otherwise, a subordinate switch reboots by using
the master's boot file and joins the IRF virtual device again.
To upgrade the boot file through a system reboot:
Step
1. Save the boot file to the root
directory of the Flash of the master
device by using FTP, TFTP, or other
approaches.
2. Copy the new boot file to the root
directory of the storage media of
the subordinate switch.
3. Specify a boot file to be used at
the next boot of a member device.
4. Reboot a specified member switch
or the IRF virtual device.
