5.2 Updating Firmware
The firmware - including bootloader - image is updated using the CLI of the base Ethernet switch.
The system update package (ie: t5310-system-BETA-1.02.tar; this example will be used in the following
commands) contains an image of bootloader, Hyperviser and Linux kernel, root filesystems for both guest
OSs and config partition as well as a MD5 checksum file for consistency check.
Note:
CONFIGFLASH is initialized once during manufacturing time. This partition is persistent across
system updates. It shows always the version used to initialize the flash partition during
manufacturing time.
Note:
Please make sure, the name of the update package used does not exceed 32 characters (ASCII).
Note:
Please also note, updating the active image is not allowed
Note:
If you have created custom script files (.SCR) that are saved in the Switch, make sure to copy them
on the backup flash bank (run this command in Fastpath before the update: copy active backup),
this will copy the scripts from the currently active bank to the backup flash bank. Alternatively, back
them up on an external server (Section 8.7.14 of CLI manual) for re-download after the update.
