Download the Software Image from the Support Site
Access to the Cisco support site and download facility is username and password controlled. You must have
an active customer account to access the site and download the StarOS image.
Download the software image to a network location or physical device (PCMCIA card) from which it can be
uploaded to the
/flash
device.
Contact your Cisco representative or Cisco TAC for additional information.
Transfer StarOS Image to /flash on the Chassis
Transfer the new operating system image file to the
/flash
device on the SMC using one of the following
methods:
•
Copy the file from a network location or local device plugged in into the SMC by entering the following
command:
[local]
host_name
#
copy from_url to_url [-noconfirm]
•
Transfer the file to the
/flash
device using an FTP client with access to the system.
Whenever transferring a operating system software image file using the file transfer
protocol (FTP), the FTP client must be configured to transfer the file using binary mode.
Failure to use binary transfer mode will make the transferred operating system image
file unusable. In release 20.0 and higher Trusted StarOS builds, FTP is not supported.
Important
•
Transfer the file to the
/flash
device using an SFTP client with access to the system.
Verify that the image file was successfully transferred to the /flash device by running the following Exec
mode command:
[local]
host_name
#
directory /flash
The image filename should appear in the displayed output.
Run the
show version /flash/image_filename
command to verify the build information.
[local
host_name
#
show version /flash/image_filename.bin
Saving a Copy of the Current Configuration File
Prior to upgrading to a new software release, you should copy and rename the current configuration file to
the
/flash
device and to an off-chassis location (external memory device or network URL). This renamed
copy assures that you will have a fallback, loadable configuration file should a problem be encountered during
the upgrade.
