Upgrading from the CLI
This section uses a two-member IRF fabric as an example to describe how to upgrade software from the
CLI. If you have more than two subordinate switches, repeat the steps for the subordinate switch to
upgrade their software. If you are upgrading a standalone switch, ignore the steps for upgrading the
subordinate switch. For more information about setting up and configuring an IRF fabric, see the
installation guide and IRF configuration guide for the HP 6125 Blade switch series.
Preparing for the upgrade
Before you upgrade software, complete the following tasks:
1. Log in to the IRF fabric through Telnet or the console port (details not shown).
2. Perform the display irf command in any view to identify the number of IRF members, and the role
and IRF member ID of each member switch.
