Howto firmwareupdate a comware switch

[hpbon]

Been doing lots of procurve updates... but I am a bit confused about the comware switches in many ways. Right now I am focused on how to upgrade the switch - and I do not understand the difference in ipe og bin.

I found this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIc88CEnpks

But when I am downloading 5130EI_7.10.R3115P08.zip (which I take a latest firmware), there are only one bin (5130ei-cmw710-packet-capture-r3115p08.bin) and then there is a ipe (5130EI-CMW710-R3115P08.ipe). It looks as the format on my switch is different than on the switch on the Youtube video.

On my switch, "display version" gives me:

I would prefer to update via ssh and tftp. What is the correct approach in my case?

Thanks, Lars.

Hello

You need to download the ipe file, this contains your bin files.

If you are using a tftp server use following command in your switch:

tftp <ipaddress> get <full .ipe file name>

this will donwload the file in the switch his flash,.

After that extract the file like this: 

boot-loader file flash:/<the .ipe file name> slot all main

After this you will see that the bin files will be extracted, and after a reboot you should be good to go.

You can check before the reboot, if the correct file as been installed when you do:

Display boot-loader

Kind regards

That seems extreemly easy... I will try it tomorrow, thanks...

I worked great except I could not use "all" so I used "1" instead.

Now a dir looks like this:

Directory of flash:

Can I delete the old bins?

Thanks, Lars.

Hello

Yes, the number 1 is your slot number, if you would have more then 1 switch in a stack, you could use all.

If you don't want them in your flash anymore you can use following command:

delete /unreserved flash:/<file name>

Kind regards
