boot-loader update
In standalone mode:
Use boot-loader update to synchronize startup images from the active MPU to the standby MPU.
In IRF mode:
Use boot-loader update to synchronize startup images from the global active MPU to a standby MPU.
Syntax
In standalone mode:
boot-loader update { all | slot slot-number }
In IRF mode:
boot-loader update { all | chassis chassis-number slot slot-number }

Parameters
all: Upgrades the standby MPU. (In standalone mode.)
all: Upgrades all standby MPUs in the IRF fabric. (In IRF mode.)
slot slot-number: Specifies the slot number of the standby MPU. (In standalone mode.)
chassis chassis-number slot slot-number: Specifies a standby MPU. The chassis-number argument represents the IRF member ID of the device that holds the standby MPU. The slot-number argument represents the slot number of the standby MPU. (In IRF mode.)
Usage guidelines
This command is not applicable to HPE 7904 and HPE 7904 TAA switches in standalone mode. In any other situations, you can use this command to synchronize startup images after adding new MPUs.
The images used for synchronization are in the main or backup startup software images list instead of the current software images list (see the display boot-loader command).
The main images list is used if the active MPU or global active MPU started up with the main startup images.
The backup image list is used if the active MPU or global active MPU started up with the main startup images.
The startup images synchronized to the standby MPU are set as main startup images, regardless of whether the source startup images are main or backup.
To avoid problems, make sure the image list used for synchronization is the same as the current software images list.
Startup image synchronization fails if any software image being synchronized is not available or is corrupted.
Examples
# On an HPE 7910 or HPE 7910 TAA switch in standalone mode, synchronize startup images from the active MPU to the standby MPU in slot 11.
<Sysname> boot-loader update slot 11 This command will update the specified standby MPU. Continue? [Y/N]:y Updating. Please wait... Copying main startup software images to slot 11. Please wait... Done. Setting copied images as main startup software images for slot 11... Done. Successfully updated the startup software images of slot 11.
# On an 7910 IRF fabric, synchronize startup images from the global active MPU to the MPU in slot 11 of member device 1.
<Sysname> boot-loader update chassis 1 slot 11 This command will update the specified standby MPU. Continue? [Y/N]:y Updating. Please wait... Copying main startup software images to chassis 1 slot 11. Please wait... Done. Setting copied images as main startup software images for chassis 1 slot 11... Done. Successfully updated the startup software images of chassis 1 slot 11.
