Hi all,
I have to upgrade the IOS on below switch to s2t54-ipservicesk9-mz.SPA.151-2.SY9.bin.
Most of the cisco forums suggest below steps
Option1
Step1. Copy the new image to bootdisk:
Step2. Change Boot variable using 'boot system; command
Step3. Verify new boot variable by 'show bootvar' command
Step4. Reload
Option2
There is also a command 'upgrade firmware'
Step1. Copy the new image to bootdisk:
Step2. Run 'upgrade firmware' command with path to new image in bootdisk:
Step3. Verify new boot variable by 'show bootvar' command
Step4. Reload
What are difference in these options ?
What are the options to Backout in case the new image causes any issue in network. ?
