Usage Guidelines The install command loads the system image into flash memory and copies components of the optional

software to the software file system (swfs) partition.

Note If you are installing a system image that contains optional software, make sure that an SWFS partition

is mounted on disk00.

To install a system image, copy the image file to the SYSFS directory, local1 or local2. Before executing

the install command, change the present working directory to the directory where the system image

resides. When the install command is executed, the image file is expanded. The expanded files overwrite

the existing files on the WAAS device. The newly installed version takes effect after the system image

is reloaded.

Note The install command does not accept .pax files. Files should be of the type .bin (for example,

cache-sw.bin). Also, if the release being installed does not require a new system image, then it may not

be necessary to write to Flash memory. If the newer version has changes that require a new system image

to be installed, then the install command may result in a write to Flash memory.

Examples The following example loads the system image contained in the wae511-cache-300.bin file:

WAE# install wae511-cache-300.bin
