2 Software Upgrade Guide CAUTION: Upgrade software only when necessary and under the guidance of a technical support engineer. Files used for upgrade BootWare images BootWare images are used to upgrade the BootWare program of cards, including the main processing units (MPUs), line processing units (LPUs), and switching fabric modules. The BootWare image comprises a basic section and an extended section. Generally, there is no need to upgrade the BootWare program independently. The device uses the shipped BootWare program. System software images Patch files System software images are used at switch startup. The S10500 series support three types of system software images: Main system software image: Used by default. Backup system software image: Used when the main system software image is invalid. Secure system software image: Used when the backup system software image is invalid. If the secure system software image is also invalid, the switch displays a failure prompt. A system software image is an.bin file such as main.bin. Patch files are released to fix software defects. A patch file may contain one or more patches (or called patch units). Patch files can fix the defects of only the intended system software. They are not used to add or delete features. Patch files released at the same time for different cards of the S10500 switch series are packaged into a single patch package file to simplify installation. Upgrade methods You can upgrade switch software by using one of the following methods: Upgrade mode Object Remarks Upgrade from the CLI Upgrade from the BootWare menu BootWare System software Patches BootWare System software 1 Reboot the switch to make the upgrade effective. This method interrupts services. This method does not interrupt services, and fixes the target system software only. This method can be used when the switch cannot start up.

3 The S10500 switch series supports In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU). ISSU can avoid service interruption during software upgrade. For more information about ISSU, see the Fundamentals Configuration Guide in the H3C S10500 Switch Series Configuration Guides. To ensure that the active and standby MPUs use the same software version, upgrade them by using the same method. Make sure that the system software and BootWare are compatible. For the compatibility between the system software and BootWare, see the hardware and software compatibility matrix in the Release Notes. You can upgrade the BootWare for the LPUs and switching fabric modules from the CLI only. The command outputs in this document are for reference only. Upgrade from the CLI The upgrade procedure on a standalone switch is different from that on an Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) fabric. This section describes the following topics: Upgrading a standalone switch Upgrading an IRF fabric S10500 switches can form a single IRF fabric. For more information about IRF, see the IRF Configuration Guide in the H3C S10500 Switch Series Configuration Guides. Upgrading a standalone switch Upgrade prerequisites # Telnet to the switch or log in through the console port. # Display device information. <Sysname> display device Slot No. Brd Type Brd Status Subslot Num Sft Ver Patch Ver 0 LSU1SUPA Master 0 S10500 P001 1 LSU1SUPA Slave 0 S10500 P001 2 LSU1GP24TXSE Normal 0 S10500 P001 3 LSU1GP48EB Normal 0 S10500 P001 4 NONE Absent 0 NONE None 5 NONE Absent 0 NONE None 6 LSU1FAB04A Normal 0 S10500 P001 7 NONE Absent 0 NONE None 8 NONE Absent 0 NONE None 9 NONE Absent 0 NONE None The output shows that the switch has two MPUs, an active MPU in slot 0 and a standby MPU in slot 1. You must upgrade software for the two MPUs. 2

4 You only need to upgrade the active MPU if the device has no standby MPU. # Check the free storage space on the active and standby MPUs.

You can delete undesired files with the delete command to free storage space. # Delete undesired files from the active and standby MPUs. On the active MPU <Sysname> delete /unreserved flash:/s10500.bin The contents cannot be restored!!! Delete flash:/s10500.bin?[y/n]:y Deleting a file permanently will take a long time.

Please wait %Delete file slot1#flash:/s10500.bin...done. The delete /unreserved file-url command deletes a file permanently and the action cannot be undone. The delete file-url command moves a file to the recycle bin and the file still occupies storage space. To permanently delete the file from the recycle bin, execute the reset recycle-bin command in the original directory of the file. Download files to the switch Download the files used for upgrade to the flash memory of the active MPU and the standby MPU. Skip this section if the files are already located there. The following example shows how to download a system software image (a.bin file) to the switch. Download other files in the same way as needed. You can download the.bin file through FTP or TFTP. The following illustrates how to download through FTP when the switch serves as the FTP client and a PC serves as the FTP server. Make sure the FTP client and server can reach other. 1. Run the FTP server program on the PC (assume its IP address is ) and set the username, password, and directory where the.bin file is saved. CAUTION: S10500 switches are not shipped with FTP server software. Prepare it by yourself. 2. Download the.bin file (newest.bin for example) to the active MPU of the switch. # Log in to the PC through FTP. <Sysname> ftp Trying Press CTRL+K to abort Connected to FTP service ready. User( :(none)):username 331 Password required for username. Password: 230 User logged in # Set the file transfer mode to binary.

You can configure the switch as the FTP server, FTP client, or TFTP client. The transfer procedures slightly vary. For more information about FTP and TFTP, see the Fundamentals Configuration Guide in the H3C S10500 Switch Series Configuration Guides. Upgrade software from the CLI CAUTION: Make sure that the BootWare image, system software image, or patch package used for upgrade have been saved in the root directory of the storage medium of the active MPU and the standby MPU. Perform the following tasks as needed: Upgrade BootWare Upgrade system software Install the patch package 1. Upgrade BootWare The following example uses mpu.btw, lpu.btw, and lpo.btw files to upgrade the BootWare of MPUs, LPUs, switching fabric modules respectively. The BootWare image stored on the active MPU can be used to upgrade the active MPU, LPUs, and switching fabric modules while that stored on the standby MPU is used to upgrade the standby MPU only. # Upgrade the BootWare for the active MPU in slot 0. <Sysname> bootrom update file flash:/mpu.btw slot 0 This command will update bootrom file on the specified board(s), Continue?
