Step 8
show running-config boot system
Example:
hostname(config)# show running-config boot
system
boot system disk0:/cdisk.bin
boot system disk0:/asa841-smp-k9.bin
Shows the current boot images configured (up to 4). The ASA
uses the images in the order listed; if the first image is
unavailable, the next image is used, and so on. You cannot insert
a new image URL at the top of the list; to specify the new image
to be first, you must remove any existing entries, and enter the
image URLs in the order desired, according to the following steps.
Step 9
no boot system {disk0:/ |
disk1:/}[path/]asa_image_name
Example:
hostname(config)# no boot system
disk0:/cdisk.bin
hostname(config)# no boot system
disk0:/asa841-smp-k9.bin
Removes any existing boot image configurations so you can enter
the new boot image as your first choice.
Step 10
boot system {disk0:/ |
disk1:/}[path/]asa_image_name
Example:
hostname(config)# boot system
disk0://asa901-smp-k9.bin
Sets the ASA image to boot that you just uploaded.
Repeat this command for any backup images you want to use in
case this image is unavailable. For example, you can re-enter the
images you previously removed in Step 9.
Step 11
asdm image {disk0:/ |
disk1:/}[path/]asdm_image_name
Example:
hostname(config)# asdm image
disk0:/asdm-701.bin
Sets the ASDM image to use that you just uploaded. You can only
configure one ASDM image to use, so you do not need to first
remove the existing configuration.
Step 12
write memory
Example:
primary(config)# write memory
Saves the new settings to the startup configuration.
Step 13
failover reload-standby
Example:
primary# failover reload-standby
Reloads the secondary unit to boot the new image.
Wait for the secondary unit to finish loading. Use the show
failover command to verify that both failover groups are in the
Standby Ready state.
Step 14
no failover active group 1
no failover active group 2
Example:
primary# no failover active group 1
primary# no failover active group 2
Forces both failover groups to become active on the secondary
unit.
Step 15
reload
Example:
primary# reload
Reloads the primary unit. If the failover groups are configured
with the preempt command, they automatically become active on
their designated unit after the preempt delay has passed. If the
failover groups are not configured with the preempt command,
you can return them to active status on their designated units using
the failover active group command.
