3.6 Backing Up the Key Data in the Flash Memory You must back up the key data stored in the flash memory before the upgrade. You can download the data that needs to be backed up to the PC through FTP or TFTP. After the upgrade, you can reload the backup files to the flash memory. For details, see 4.1 Upgrading the Switch to V100R006C00SPC800 Using the Command Line.

3.7 Checking the Flash Memory Space 1. Run the dir command in the user view to check whether the flash memory space is sufficient

for the system software. If a stack is established, ensure that all the members in the stack have enough space.

2. (Optional) Load and activate the patch file S27_37_57-V100R006SPH005.pat.

Before upgrading an S2752 or S3700 to V100R006, delete the current startup file to free up the flash memory space.

If no system software is stored on the device, do not restart or power cycle the device during the upgrade. Otherwise, the system may break down. If the device is powered off unexpectedly during the upgrade, use the BootROM to upgrade the device. If the upgrade using BootROM fails, contact Huawei engineers.

3. Run the delete command to delete unnecessary files to ensure there is enough space for storing relevant upgrade files. Before deleting the unnecessary files, ensure that the files are backed up or are unwanted. The following is an example of deleting the s-s2700.cc file. For details, see "Managing the File System" in the Quidway S2700/S3700/S5700/S6700 Series Ethernet Switches Configuration Guide – Basic Configurations.

After you run the delete /unreserved command to delete a file from the flash, the file cannot be restored; therefore, run this command with caution, and a file backup is recommended.

<Quidway> delete /unreserved s-s2700.cc

Warning: The contents of file flash:/ s-s2700.cc cannot be recycled. Continue? [Y/N]:y

Info: Deleting file flash:/ s-s2700.cc...

The switch is automatically upgraded by loading the latest system software during startup.

Enter 7. Reboot on the advanced BootROM menu to restart the switch. Then, the S2700 restores the baud rate on the console interface to 9600 bit/s. The baud rate of the HyperTerminal also needs to be set to 9600 bit/s. The PC then can communicate with the S2700.

4.3 Upgrading the S5700-SI to V100R006C00SPC800 Using the USB Flash Drive

4.3.1 Overview

If you do not have a PC in the on-site deployment, use the USB flash drive in which the system software and configuration file are stored. The software commissioning engineer is not required.

Only the S5700-SI and S6700 can be upgraded using the USB flash drive. Stacks do not support this upgrade method.

The general process of the upgrade in the USB way is as follows:

a. Copy files.

When the S5700-SI is started successfully (the SYS indicator is in green and blinks at 0.5 Hz), the USB flash drive can be inserted to load files. The S5700-SI automatically downloads the system software and configuration file according to the index file in the USB flash drive.

b. Restart the switch.

The S5700-SI sets the system software and configuration file for next startup, and then restarts automatically.

c. Verify the loading of files.

After restarting successfully (the SYS indicator is in green and blinks at 0.5 Hz), the S5700-SI begins to verify the loaded files. When the SYS indicator is in orange and blinks at 0.5 Hz, the upgrade is finished.

1. Prepare the hardware.

USB port: The S5700-SI provide USB 1.1; the S6700 provide USB 2.0.

USB flash drive:

The USB flash drive delivered with Huawei switch is recommended because this USB flash drive is compatible with the switch. The USB flash drive must be paid independently. If you have not bought the USB flash drive, contact local Huawei office.

The USB flash drive must use the FAT32 format; otherwise, set the format to FAT32 before using it.

The space in the USB flash drive must be sufficient for the system software and configuration file.

2. Prepare system software, configuration file, web file, and patch file.

3. Create the index file.

a. Create the file usbload_config.txt.

b. Fill in the file.

If you need to upgrade the system software, configuration file or patch file of V100R006, the index file is in any of the following formats: <sn=201105091219;/>

<mac=; vrpfile=; vrpver=; cfgfile=; webfile=; patchfile=;/>

<esn=; vrpfile=; vrpver=; cfgfile=; webfile=; patchfile=;/>

<boardtype=; vrpfile=; vrpver=; cfgfile=; webfile=; patchfile=;/>

The first line in the index file must be the SN to prevent repeated copy. The SN consists of creation

date + time, for example, <sn=201105091219;/>. Before copying a file, the device compares the SNs. If the SN of a file to be copied already exists, the device does not copy the file. After the file is copied, the device stores the SN. The index files without SNs are considered invalid, and the device will stop copying the files.

If an index file contains the following three formats, the device uses the information in format (2). If the required information is not obtained, the device uses the information in format (3) and then format (1). When only one USB flash drive is used in the upgrade, the values of mac=, esn=, and boardtype= are default. When the device obtains the value default, the device starts to copy the file without comparing it with other files.

When editing an index file, press Enter when a line is finished. After editing the file, save it.

Select the upgrade files, including system software, configuration file, Web file, and patch file as required.

The upgrade procedures for S5700-SI, and S6700 are the same.

(1) To upgrade the same system software, configuration file, Web file, and patch file on multiple devices, fill in the file in the format <boardtype=; vrpfile=; vrpver=; cfgfile=; webfile=; patchfile=;/>.



35

− To obtain the value of boardtype, view device labels or run the display version command. boardtype=default indicates that all devices will be upgraded.

− Fill in the system software name behind vrpfile=.

− Fill in the version number behind vrpfile=.

− Fill in the configuration file name behind cfgfile=.

− Fill in the web file name behind webfile=.

− Fill in the patch file name behind patchfile=.

The following are the index files of different devices:

<boardtype=S5728C-SI; vrpfile=S5700SI-V100R006C00SPC800.CC;

vrpver=V100R006C00SPC800; cfgfile=; webfile=; patchfile=;/>

<boardtype=S6748-EI; vrpfile=S6700-V100R006C00SPC800.CC; vrpver=V100R006C00SPC800;

cfgfile=; webfile=; patchfile=;/>

The following two formats are used for upgrading a single device:

(2) <mac=; vrpfile=; vrpver=; cfgfile=; webfile=; patchfile=;/>

− View the device's MAC address on the chassis and fill in the MAC address behind mac= in the format XXXX-XXXX-XXXX.






The following is an example of configuration file:

<mac=0018-8200-0001; vrpfile=; vrpver=; cfgfile=vrpcfg.cfg; webfile=; patchfile=;/>

The following is an example of patch file:

<mac=0018-8200-0002; vrpfile=; vrpver=; cfgfile=; webfile=; patchfile=patch.pat;/>

(3) <esn=; vrpfile=; vrpver=; cfgfile=; webfile=; patchfile=;/>

− View the device's ESN and fill in the ESN behind esn=.






The following is an example of patch file:

<esn=020TEA10A9000016; vrpfile=; vrpver=; cfgfile=; webfile=; patchfile=patch.pat;/>



36

The following is an example of system software:

<esn=020TEA10A9000017; vrpfile=S5700SI-V100R006C00SPC800.CC;

vrpver=V100R006C00SPC800; cfgfile=vrpcfg.cfg; webfile=; patchfile=;/>

If a keyword is not found or matched, the value of this item is considered to be empty.

If the version number behind vrpver= is the same as the current version, the device will not restart.

4. Copy the index file, system software, configuration file, Web file, and patch file to the root directory of the USB flash drive.

The index files must be stored to the root directory on the USB flash drive; the other files are stored in the corresponding directories.

Do not power off the switch during file copy; otherwise, the upgrade fails or the switch

cannot start.

Do not remove the USB flash drive before the upgrade is finished; otherwise, the USB flash drive may be damaged.

Procedure

1. Power on the S5700-SI, and wait until the system completes the startup (you are advertised to wait for two minutes).

2. Confirm that the system is operating stably (the SYS indicator is in green and blinks every two seconds). If the system operating is unstable, wait or solve the issue.

If the SYS indicator is on and in green or orange, the system startup is not finished. Wait until the system starts successfully.

If the SYS indicator is on and in red, the system is started but an error occurs. Fix the problem before the next step. Check whether the power supply and the fan function properly. If no, power off the S5700-SI, and then restart the S5700-SI. If the fault persists (the indicator is on and in red), contact Huawei technical support personnel.

3. Insert the USB flash drive.

If the SYS indicator is in green and blinks more than twice every second, the system is copying the system software and configuration file from the USB flash drive.

After copying the files, the system restarts.

If the SYS indicator is in orange and blinks every two seconds after the restart, the upgrade is successful. Now you can remove the USB flash drive.



37

If the SYS indicator is on or blinks in red, or blinks and is in read, an error occurs. Power off the S5700-SI and power on it, and then insert the USB flash drive again. If the upgrade fails three times, check whether the index file on the USB flash drive is correct, or contact the Huawei technical support personnel.

NOTE When using the USB flash drive for upgrade, change the SN in the USB flash drive.
