Usage guidelines

A BootWare is divided into a Normal area and a Backup area. The BootWare image is stored in the Normal area and backed up to the Backup area. At startup, the system reads the BootWare image automatically from the Normal area. If the image is inaccessible, the system reads the BootWare image from the Backup area.

If the BootWare image in the Normal area is corrupted or requires a version rollback, use the bootrom restore command to copy the BootWare image in the Backup area to the Normal area.

Examples

# Back up the entire BootWare image from the Normal area to the Backup area.

<Sysname> bootrom backup chassis 1 slot 10
  Now backuping the Boot ROM, please wait...
