56 Loading Software March 2005
5 Using your FTP client, upload all required .img files
from the new software release to the primary switch’s
/flash/working directory.
6 Use the install command after the software files have
been transferred to the switch via FTP. For example:
-> install /flash/working/*.img
Note. For more information on the install command, refer
to the OmniSwitch 6600 Family Switch Management
Guide or the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide.
7 Reload the switch from the /flash/working directory.
To do this, enter
-> reload working no rollback-timeout
at the CLI prompt.
Note. This reload process will take a few moments to
complete.
During this reload, software from the primary switch is distrib-
uted to all switches in the stacked configuration. By synchro-
nizing the system software, the primary switch ensures
effective redundancy throughout the stack.
Certifying Your New Software
After the newly-loaded software is considered tested and reli-
able, it is important that you certify the new software by copy-
ing it to the /flash/certified directory.
It is also important that you synchronize the contents of the
/flash/working and /flash/certified directories on all switches
in the stack with the newer contents of the /flash/certified and
/flash/working directories on the primary switch.
Otherwise, your new software—along with any configuration
changes you have made—will be lost if a reboot or failover
occurs.
To certify and synchronize all new software in the stack, enter
the following command:
-> copy working certified flash-synchro
