Today I update the last .ipe file that is in the HPE website r2432p05.bin

What can i delete from the flash:/ without damage?

mferna,

You have 5 versions of code on the switch.  Do a display boot and see what versions are your next version and backup.  Delete /unreserve the ones that are not the next boot or backup and you should recover a bunch of space.

Software images on slot 1:
Current software images:
flash:/5900_5920-cmw710-boot-r2432p05.bin
flash:/5900_5920-cmw710-system-r2432p05.bin
Main startup software images:
flash:/5900_5920-cmw710-boot-r2432p05.bin
flash:/5900_5920-cmw710-system-r2432p05.bin
Backup startup software images:
None

So I can delete every old .bin file (boot and image) right?

I don't have any backup software, how can i put one in it? Just for precaution. 

Sincerely,

Hi!

You can delete old boot and system images that are not R2432P05.

If you decide to set backup images you can't delete that version either.

Use the boot-loader command to specify the files and set them as the backup images.  You can use the ? to have the CLI tell you what the next parameter is to walk you through that setup.

Regards,

David
