When you download a BootROM image (download bootrom [[ipaddress | hostname] filename {{vr} vrname} {block-size block_size}] {slot slotid} {install} {reboot}}), you are prompted to install the image immediately after the download is finished. If you choose to install the image at a later time, you can use this command to install the software on the switch.
The BootROM image file is designated with a .xtr file extension.
For ExtremeSwitching 5420 and 5520 series switches only, the ExtremeXOS (.xos) image file includes the bootROM image. The from-exos specifies using the BootROM version packaged with the ExtremeXOS image. You do not need to specify a file name. After the .xos image installation is finished, and when a new .xos image is in use, the bootROM image is available in ExtremeXOS file system (/exos/bin). When this command is run with the from-exos option, this image will be used for bootROM upgrade. To see what version bootROM is installed on each partition, use the show version {detail | process name | images {partition partition} command.
To display the BootROM version for the switch, use the show version command.
When specifying a local or remote file name, the switch permits only the following characters:
You can run this command only from the master node.
The following example installs the previously downloaded BootROM image file summitX-1.0.1.5-bootrom.xtr:
# install bootrom summitX-1.0.1.5-bootrom.xtr
The following messages appear:
Installing bootrom...

Verifying Flash contents... ........................................................................ ........................................................................ ........................................................................ ........................................................................ .................................................... bootrom written.

The following example installs the bootROM image file uboot.xtr located on the local file system at /usr/local/tmp/:
# install bootrom /usr/local/tmp/uboot.xtr Downloading to Switch. Installing bootrom... Bootrom installed successfully. It will be used on the next reboot.
