To transfer release files from a source ERX system to a destination ERX 
system, follow the instructions in 
Installing Software When a Firewall
with the following changes:
•
Substitute the source ERX system for the network host.
•
Omit the step about mounting the CD.
•
Copy the file to the system space of the second ERX system from the 
user space of the first ERX system. 
host1#copy boston:/outgoing/releases/x-y-z.rel x-y-z.rel
Upgrading Systems That Are Operating with Two SRP Modules
Use this procedure if the system contains two SRP modules and is already 
operating with an earlier software release. Each SRP module will keep 
the system operational while you upgrade the software on the other, so 
that you can avoid interrupting service.
Caution: You must upgrade the software on the redundant SRP module when you 
upgrade the software on the primary SRP module. This action prevents the 
redundant SRP module from overwriting the new software on the primary SRP 
module if the primary SRP module fails and the redundant SRP module assumes 
control.
To upgrade the software on a system that is operational and contains two 
SRP modules:
1
Turn off autosynchronization.
host1(config)#disable-autosync
2
Copy the new release of the software to NVS of the primary SRP 
module.
host1#copy host1:x-y-z.rel x-y-z.rel
3
Save the current configuration.
host1#copy running-configuration system2.cnf
4
Specify that the ERX system should use the new software release 
when it reboots.
host1(config)#boot system x-y-z.rel
5
Synchronize the NVS file system of the redundant module to that of 
the primary module.
host1#synchronize
