Enabling Software Synchronization From The Active Mpu To The Standby Mpu At Startup; Upgrading Pexs; Preparing For The Upgrade - HP 10500 Series Configuration Manual

Enabling software synchronization from the active
MPU to the standby MPU at startup
This feature is available only when the device operates in standalone mode. To synchronize software
from the global active MPU to other MPUs on an IRF fabric, use the irf auto-update enable command. For
more information about software auto-update, see Virtual Technologies Configuration Guide.
When the standby MPU starts up, this feature examines its startup software images for version
inconsistency with the current software images on the active MPU.
If the software versions are different, the standby MPU does the following:
1. Copies the current software images of the active MPU.
2. Specifies the images as startup software images.
3. Reboots with these images.
IMPORTANT:
To ensure a successful synchronization in a multiuser environment, prevent users from rebooting or
swapping MPUs during the software synchronization process. You can configure the information center to
output the synchronization status to configuration terminals (see
Configuration Guide
To enable software synchronization from the active MPU to the standby MPU at startup:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enable startup software
version check for the
standby MPU.
3. Enable software
auto-update for the standby
MPU.

Upgrading PEXs

Preparing for the upgrade

1. Use the display version command to identify the current BootWare and Comware image versions
on the PEX.
2. Use the release notes for the upgrade software version to evaluate the upgrade impact on your
network and verify the following items:
Software and hardware compatibility.
Version and size of the upgrade software.
Compatibility of the upgrade software with the current BootWare and Comware software
images.
Software compatibility between the PEXs and the parent devices.
