Verifying available flash space on the management module before an image is copied

Rebooting from the system
To use a source besides the Multi-Service IronWare image in the primary location in flash memory
for a single reboot, enter a command similar to the following at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI.
Brocade# boot system slot1 /slot1/xmr03000.bin
The command in this example reboots the system using the image xmr03000.bin located on the
flash card in slot 1. This example assumes that the flash card in slot 1 is not the management
focus.
Syntax: boot system slot1 | slot2 [/dir-path/]file-name
The slot1 | slot2 keywords specify the flash card slot.
The file-name parameter specifies the file name. If the file is in a subdirectory, specify the
subdirectory path in front of the file name. If the file name you specify is not a full path name, the
CLI assumes that the name (and path, if applicable) you enter are relative to the subdirectory that
currently has the management focus.
NOTE
This command also is supported at the boot PROM.
For example, to reboot the system using the image xmr03000.bin on a TFTP server, enter a
command similar to the following.
Brocade# boot system tftp 10.10.10.1 xmr03000.bin
Syntax: boot system tftp ip-address file-name
The ip-address parameter specifies the address of the TFTP server on which the desired image
resides.
The file-name parameter specifies the name of the Brocade Multi-Service IronWare image on the
TFTP server.
For example, to reboot the system using the secondary location in flash memory, enter the
following command.
Brocade# boot system flash secondary
Brocade# Are you sure? (enter 'y' or 'n'): y
Syntax: boot system flash secondary
To reboot the system from a BOOTP server, enter the following command.
Brocade# boot system bootp
Syntax: boot system bootp
Configuring the boot source for future reboots
To change the Brocade Multi-Service IronWare image source from the primary location in flash
memory to another source for future reboots, enter a command similar to the following at the
global CONFIG level of the CLI.
Brocade(config)# boot system slot1 xmr03000.bin
The command in this example sets Auxiliary flash slot 1 as the primary boot source for the Brocade
device. When you reload the software or power cycle the device, the device will look for the Brocade
Multi-Service IronWare image on the flash card in slot 1.
