ProSAFE M7100 Managed Switches
Dual Image Commands
The software supports a dual image feature that allows the switch to have two software images
in the permanent storage. You can specify which image is the active image to be loaded in
subsequent reboots. This feature allows reduced down-time when you upgrade or downgrade
the software.
delete
This command deletes the supplied image file from the permanent storage. The image to be
deleted must be a backup image. If this image is the active image, or if this image is activated, an
error message displays. The optional <unit> parameter is valid only on Stacks. Error will be
returned, if this parameter is provided, on Standalone systems. In a stack, 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.
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.
