Operating the switch 59
Software Release 2.6.1
C613-02039-00 REV A
Example: Upgrade to a new patch file
Use this procedure to upgrade the software release currently running on the
switch with a new patch. This example assumes that the current release,
Software Release 2.6.1, is set as the preferred release.
To upgrade to a new patch file:
1. Load the new patch file onto the switch.
Load the new file onto your switch. See “Loading and Uploading Files” on
page 52.
LOAD FILE=86261-01.paz
Check that the file is successfully loaded.
SHOW FILE
2. Test the patch.
Set the release to run as a temporary install, so that it loads the patch once
only the next time it reboots.
SET INSTALL=TEMPORARY RELEASE=86s-261.rez
PATCH=86261-01.paz
If you want to use the current switch configuration again, store the
dynamic configuration as a configuration script file, and set the switch to
use this configuration when it restarts.
CREATE CONFIG=myconfig.scp
SET CONFIG=myconfig.scp
Reboot the switch.
RESTART REBOOT
The switch reboots, loading the new patch file and the specified
configuration. Check that the switch operates correctly with the new patch
file.
3. Make the patch part of the default (permanent) release.
If the switch operates correctly with the new patch, make the release
permanent.
SET INSTALL=PREFERRED RELEASE=86s-261.rez
PATCH=86261-01.paz
Every time the switch reboots from now on, it loads the new release and
patch from FLASH.
Do not set an untested patch as part of the preferred install.
