Switch Memory and Configuration
Using Primary and Secondary Flash Image Options

For example, if the switch is using a software version of W.14.XX stored in
Primary flash,

show version produces the following:

Example Showing the Identity of the Current Flash Image

Determining Whether the Flash Images Are Different Versions.

If the

flash image sizes in primary and secondary are the same, then in almost every
case, the primary and secondary images are identical. This command provides
a comparison of flash image sizes, plus the boot ROM version and from which
flash image the switch booted. For example, in the following case, the images
are different versions of the switch software, and the switch is running on the
version stored in the secondary flash image:

ProCurve(config)# show flash

Image Size(Bytes) Date

Version Build #

Primary Image : 7493854 03/21/07 W.14.29

1617

Secondary Image : 7463821 03/23/07 W.14.30

1700

Boot Rom Version: W.14.01
Default Boot : Primary

Will boot from primary flash
on the next boot.

Example Showing Different Flash Image Versions

Determining Which Flash Image Versions Are Installed.

The

show ver­

sion

command displays which software version the switch is currently running

and whether that version booted from primary or secondary flash. Thus, if the
switch booted from primary flash, you will see the version number of the
software version stored in primary flash, and if the switch booted from
secondary flash, you will see the version number of the software version
stored in secondary flash. Thus, by using

show version, then rebooting the

switch from the opposite flash image and using

show version again, you can

determine the version(s) of switch software in both flash sources. For exam­
