112 XPath OS CLI commands

Commits the current firmware image to the alternate bank.

Synopsis

firmwarecommit

Availability

admin

Description

Use this command to commit (copy) the current firmware image from the primary partition to the

secondary partition.

To maintain the integrity of the firmware image in the flash memory, the firmwareDownload command

initially updates only the secondary partition. When the download completes successfully and the system

reboots, the system swaps the partitions so that the primary partition (with the old firmware) becomes the

secondary, and the secondary partition (with the new firmware) becomes the primary.

By default, the firmwareDownload command automatically copies the new firmware to the secondary

partition after the reboot. If you decide to disable the autocommit (-n) option when running

firmwareDownload after the system is rebooted, you must execute the firmwareCommit command.

firmwareCommit copies the primary partition (with new firmware) to the secondary partition, thereby

committing the new firmware to both partitions of the system.
