Commit an upgrade

Perform the following procedure to commit an upgrade.

About this task

The software commit functionality for software upgrades allows maximum time set by the commit timer (the default is 10 minutes) to ensure that the upgrade is successful. If you enable the auto-commit option, the system automatically commits to the new software version after the commit timer expires.

Procedure

  1. Enter Global Configuration mode:

    enable

    configure terminal

  2. Optional: Configure the timer to activate the software:

    sys software commit-time <10-60>

    The default is 10 minutes.

  3. (Optional) Extend or reduce the time to commit the software:

    software reset-commit-time [<1–60>]

  4. Commit the upgrade:

    software commit

    If you disable the auto-commit feature, you must run the software commit command manually before the commit timer expires to commit the new software version, otherwise the system restarts automatically to the previous (committed) version. By default, auto-commit is enabled.
