Copy an Image from a Local Location
This section describes using the Element Manager to copy an image file from a locally available
location before installing it as the active image.
1. In the Element Manager, select
Maintenance-> File Management…
.
Note the uninstalled image files(.img) and installed system-images. Do not modify or delete the
installed system-image. If there are two saved image files, you can create space by clicking Delete.
2. Click the
Import…
button.
3. Copy/Download an Image Through the CLI
The Import File window appears.
4. Select Image from the
File Type
drop-down menu.
5. Click the Local File radio button from the Copy From section.
6. Click the Choose... button.
7. Navigate to the locally available image file and select the file.
8. Enter the file name of the image in the Copy To: File Name on System field.
Image files must reside in the image file-system and the file name must have the .
img
extension.
9. Click the Copy button.
Wait until the transfer is complete.
The window will automatically refresh to show the latest copied image file. However, the .img file
will not change until you have installed the new image. Installation must be performed through the
CLI.
Copy/Download an Image Through the CLI
There are two ways that the software can be downloaded from the CLI:
• Through an FTP server
• Through a TFTP server
Download From an FTP Server
Use FTP to download new image files to the InfiniBand system. Uninstalled system-image files always
end with a
.img
extension.
