Rapier Switch Software Release 2.2.1
C613-02013-00 Rev A
The default install is the install of last resort. The release for the default install
can not be changed by the manager and is always the EPROM release. The
patch for the default install may be set by the manager.
The temporary and preferred installs are completely configurable. Both the
release and an associated patch may be set. The release may be EPROM or a
release stored in FFS.
The RELEASE parameter specifies the release file for this install. The release
file is either a file name of the form
device:filename.ext
for files in the file
subsystem, or EPROM, to indicate the EPROM release. The default value for
the device field is FLASH.
The PATCH parameter specifies the patch file for this install, and is a file name
of the form
device:filename.ext
. The patch file is stored in FLASH. The
default value for the device field is
FLASH
. If the patch name is not given, the
patch file information for a given install is removed and only the release file
will be loaded for the install.
A patch file can not be set up for an install unless a release file is already set up,
or a release file is specified in the same command. This stops the inadvertent
setting of an install to be just a patch file. When the switch reboots in such a
case the particular install is ignored, which may have undesirable effects on the
switch operation.
For security reasons this command will only be accepted if the user has SECURITY
OFFICER privilege.
To delete a particular install (except the default install) use the command:
DELETE INSTALL
To display the current install information, including which install is currently
running in the switch, and how the install information was checked at the last
reboot, use the command:
SHOW INSTALL
