v1.0, November 2010
boot system
This command activates the specified image. It will be the active-image for subsequent reboots
and will be loaded by the boot loader. The current active-image is marked as the backup-image for
subsequent reboots. The optional <unit> parameter is valid only in Stacking, where the unit
parameter identifies the node on which this command must be executed. When this parameter is
not supplied, the command is executed on all nodes in a Stack.
show bootvar
This command displays the version information and the activation status for the current active and
backup images on the supplied unit (node) of the Stack. If you do not specify a unit number, the
command displays image details for all nodes on the Stack. The command also displays any text
description associated with an image. This command, when used on a Standalone system, displays
the switch activation status. For a standalone system, the unit parameter is not valid.
filedescr
This command associates a given text description with an image. Any existing description will be
replaced. For stacking, the [<unit>] parameter identifies the node on which this command must
be executed. When this parameter is not supplied, the command is executed on all nodes in a
Stack.
