Caution When entering the clear boot system flash cat.4000-promupgrade.6-1-4.bin command, be sure to type
the correct promupgrade image in the command syntax. If you enter only clear boot system flash, all
images in the autoboot string are cleared, and the switch will not know which image to boot.
Step 10 Use the clear boot system flash promupgrade_image command to remove the promupgrade program
from the autoboot string.
This example shows how to remove the promupgrade image cat.4000-promupgrade.6-1-4.bin from
the boot sequence. Notice that the response message shows the system image for software release 5.5(8)
in the autoboot string:
Console> (enable) clear boot system flash bootflash:cat4000-promupgrade.6-1-4.bin
BOOT variable = bootflash:cat4000.5-5-8.bin,1;
Step 11 Use the del command to delete the promupgrade program from the Flash memory and squeeze the Flash
memory to reclaim unused space.
This example shows how to delete the promupgrade image cat.4000-promupgrade.6-1-4.bin from the
Flash memory and reclaim unused space:
Console> (enable) del bootflash:cat4000-promupgrade.6-1-4.bin
Console> (enable) squeeze bootflash:
All deleted files will be removed, proceed (y/n) [n]? y
Squeeze operation may take some time, proceed (y/n) [n]? y
Console > (enable)
Step 12 After removing the promupgrade image from the BOOT string, use the show boot command to verify
that the BOOT string is set correctly.
Migrating Supervisor Engine II from a Catalyst 4006 Switch to a
Catalyst 4500 Series Switch
If you migrate your Supervisor Engine II from a Catalyst 4006 switch to a Catalyst 4503 or 4506 switch,
save your configuration and reload the configuration file after you insert the supervisor engine into the
Catalyst 4500 series chassis.
The Catalyst 4500 series switch requires software release 7.4(1) or a later release. If your Supervisor
Engine II is running software release 7.3(2) or an earlier release, upgrade to software release 7.4(1) or a
later release before migrating your supervisor engine to a Catalyst 4500 series chassis.
Caution If you attempt to boot a Supervisor Engine II running software release 7.3(2) or an earlier release in a
Catalyst 4500 series chassis, the switch will continuously reboot.
