Upgrade mode Object Remarks
Patches
This method does not interrupt services, and fixes the
target system software only.
Upgrade from the
BootWare menu
• BootWare
• System software
This method can be used when the switch cannot start up.
NOTE:
•
The S10500 switch series supports In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU). ISSU can avoid service
interruption during software upgrade. For more information about ISSU, see the
Fundamentals
Configuration Guide in the H3C S10500 Switch Series Configuration Guides.
• To make sure the active and standby MPUs use the same software version, upgrade them by using the
same method.
• Make sure that the system software and BootWare are compatible. For the compatibility between the
system software and BootWare, see the hardware and software compatibility matrix in the Release
Notes.
• You can upgrade the BootWare for the LPUs and switching fabric modules from the CLI only.
• The command outputs in this document are for reference only.
Upgrade from the CLI
The upgrade procedure on a standalone switch is different from that on an Intelligent Resilient Framework
(IRF) fabric. This section describes the following topics:
• Upgrading a standalone switch
• Upgrading an IRF fabric
NOTE:
S10500 switches can form a single IRF fabric. For more information about IRF, see the IRF Configuration
Guide in the H3C S10500 Switch Series Configuration Guides.
