Method 4
Use the
copy
command to copy the main application file of the active MPU to the standby MPU,
specify the file as the main application file, and reboot the standby MPU. Note that when using
this method, make sure that the main application files of the active and standby MPUs are of the
same version.
The detailed steps are as follows:
Step1
Use the
dir
command to view the application file to be updated on the active MPU:
If any, proceed with operation in Step 2;
If not, upload the application file to the active MPU through Xmodem, FTP, or TFTP. For details
about uploading an application file, refer to the procedures mentioned above.
Step2
Use the
dir
command to view the available space in the CF card on the standby MPU. Make
sure there is enough space for the new application file.
Step3
Use the
copy
command to copy the application file on the active MPU to the standby MPU:
On a device configured with an RPE-X1
<HP> copy b54D002main.bin slot41#cfa0:/
Copy cfa0:/mainb54d002.bin to slot14#cfa0:/mainb54d002.bin?[Y/N]:y
%Copy file cfa0:/mainb54d002.bin to slot14#cfa0:/mainb54d002.bin...Done.
On a device configured with an RSE-X1
<HP> copy b54D002main.bin slot2#cfa0:/
Copy cfa0:/mainb54d002.bin to slot2#cfa0:/mainb54d002.bin?[Y/N]:y
%Copy file cfa0:/mainb54d002.bin to slot2#cfa0:/mainb54d002.bin...Done.
Step4
Specify the application file on the standby MPU to be used at next startup.
On a device configured with an RPE-X1
<HP> boot-loader file slot14#cfa0:/mainb54d002.bin slot 14 main
This command will set the boot file of the specified board. Continue? [Y/N]:y
The specified file will be used as the main boot file at the next reboot on slot
14!
On a device configured with an RSE-X1
<HP> boot-loader file slot2#cfa0:/mainb54d002.bin slot 2 main
This command will set the boot file of the specified board. Continue? [Y/N]:y
The specified file will be used as the main boot file at the next reboot on slot
2!
Step5
Use the
display boot-loader
[
slot
slot-number
] command to view the application files to be
used by the active and standby MPUs for booting the system. Make sure the application files
are of the same version.
Step6
After rebooting the standby MPU using the
slave restart
command in system view, use the
display version
command to view the current version of the application file. If the application
file is of the new version, you have succeeded in updating the application files on the standby
MPU.
Step7
Use the
display device
command to view the status of the active and standby MPUs.
If both MPUs are in the normal status, the active and standby MPUs are normal.
