install module loader
To upgrade the bootloader on either the active or standby supervisor module, use the install module
loader command. This command is only for supervisor modules, not switching modules.
install module module-number loader kickstart [bootflash: | slot0: | volatile: | kickstart-image]
Syntax Description
Defaults None.
Command Modes EXEC mode.
Command History
Usage Guidelines Before issuing the install module loader command, be sure to read the release notes to verify
compatibility issues between the boot loader and the kickstart or system images.
If you install a loader version that is the same as the currently-installed version, the loader will not be
upgraded. When both the current version and the installed version are the same, use the init system
command to force a loader upgrade.
Examples The following example shows how to perform a non disruptive upgrade for the system.
switch# install module 6 loader bootflash:kickstart_image
This example displays the command being issued on the standby supervisor module in slot 6.
