Verifying that the switch is running the new BootWare image

	NOTE: The verification is required only if the BootWare image has been upgraded.

 

# Reboot the switch to check whether the switch is running the new BootWare image.

If not, examine the upgrade steps and perform the upgrade steps again.

The command output might vary by switch model. The following is an output example:

…

****************************************************************************

*                                                                          *

*                         BootWare, Version 1.51                           *

*                                                                          *

Verifying that the switch is running the new software images

	NOTE: The verification is required only if the startup software has been upgraded.

 

# Use the display boot-loader command to check whether the switch is running the new software images.

If not, examine the upgrade steps and perform the upgrade steps again.

The command output might vary by switch model. This section uses an S10500 switch as an example.

<Sysname>display boot-loader

Software images on slot 0:

Current software images:

  flash:/S10500-CMW710-BOOT-R7596P10.bin

  flash:/S10500-CMW710-SYSTEM-R7596P10.bin

Main startup software images:

  flash:/S10500-CMW710-BOOT-R7596P10.bin

  flash:/S10500-CMW710-SYSTEM-R7596P10.bin

Backup startup software images:

  None

Verifying that a patch is installed successfully (modular switch)

# Use the display device command to check whether a patch has been installed successfully.

The Patch Ver field indicates the patch version that the switch is running. If the Patch Ver field displays None, the patch fails to be installed.

The command output might vary by switch model. This section uses an S10500 switch as an example.

Verifying that a patch is installed successfully (fixed-port switch)

# Use the display device command to check whether a patch has been installed successfully.

The Patch Ver field indicates the patch version that the switch is running. If the Patch Ver field displays None, the patch fails to be installed.

The command output might vary by switch model. This section uses an S10500 switch as an example.

Verifying that the cards and subcards are in normal state (modular switch)

# Use the display device command to check whether the cards and subcards are in normal state.

The Brd Status field indicates the card or subcard status.

The command output might vary by switch model. This section uses an S10500 switch as an example.

Verifying that the switch is in stable state

# Use the display system stable state command to check whether the switch is in stable state.

The switch is stable if the System State field displays Stable.

<Sysname> display system stable state

System state     : Stable

Redundancy state : No redundancy

  Slot    CPU    Role       State

  1       0      Active     Stable

Verifying that the configuration has been recovered

# Use the display current-configuration command to view the current configuration.

# Use the display diff current-configuration startup-configuration command to check whether configurations are lost or modified.

Verifying that the services are normal

# Collect entries (such as routing entries, FIB entries, and MAC address entries) and compare them with the entries before the upgrade to check whether entries are lost.

# Check whether the service traffic before and after the upgrade is the same.

# Check whether the servers such as NMS servers are working correctly.

 

	NOTE: Before verifying the services, do not execute the save command.
