Step 2 Click the line in the Current Files on System table that lists the file that you want to delete, and then click the Delete button. A Delete File window opens.
Step 3 Click the Yes button.
Understanding Configuration Files
A configuration file is a text file that stores a list of CLI commands.
Startup-Config
The main configuration file is called startup-config. This file stores all of the CLI commands necessary to completely configure a box from a factory default state. This configuration file can be copied, backed up, and modified.
Running-Config
Whenever configuration changes are made via the GUI or CLI, a CLI command is temporarily saved in a virtual configuration file called running-config. If the administrator wishes to save these changes permanently, this file is copied into the startup-config file.
Any number of configuration files can be stored. For convenience and rapid configuration, files can also maintain a partial list of CLI commands. These files can also be copied into running-config for immediate use or startup-config for persistent use across reboots.
Understanding Log Files
Log files are text files that record activity, including configuration changes. Depending on their size, log files are rotated and compressed. Log files can also be exported from the system by using the copy command.
File Management and Storage
The management of log files is performed automatically, but you can configure log files. Log files are stored separately from other file types, but all files share the 128 MB of flash memory. Log files are stored in syslog files.
The system checks the size of the active log file hourly, and when it exceeds 1 MB, the active log file, ts_log, is closed, compressed, and renamed ts_log.1.gz. Other ts_log.x.gz files are incremented by 1. These files can be downloaded via the Log Viewer GUI, which can create filters for troubleshooting and auditing purposes.
Message Types
The following levels of logging are captured:
•CONF—configuration changes; no user action is required.
•INFO—general information; no user action is required.
•WARN— abnormal condition; user intervention may be required.
•ERROR— abnormal condition; user intervention is required.
•FATAL—abnormal condition; user must reboot.
Installing Software Images
To proceed to the instructions, refer to the "Installing a Software Image" section. The sections that follow provide context and details about installing images.
The Image data that is used to configure the software is being continuously updated and enhanced. Use the latest system image data to ensure the most efficient usage of your system.
Refer to the user's support portal at support.cisco.com for the latest upgrades.
System Image
A system image is an unpacked and installed image file. An image file is the source from which to install a system image and it has an .img extension.
When an image file is installed, the image file is expanded into a system image. The system image is what the user will refer to in order to specify what the system should use to boot up each card in the system.
Image File
Image files are stored in flash memory as a single complete file with an ".img" extension. Each image file contains all the operating software (application software and firmware/microcode) needed by the various cards that can be installed into the system.
The system cannot use an image file directly to boot up the system. The image file must first be installed. The installation process automatically unbundles the image file and distributes the software components to each card in the system. Users do not have to be aware of individual software components. The user executes one CLI command to install an image file. Refer to the install command in the CLI Reference Guide.
The Server Switch operating system stores up to three images on a disk: the uninstalled image, the current system (or installed) image, and the recovery image.
The system only has enough flash memory to store:
•one system image file (active)
•one image file (inactive/uninstalled)
•one recovery image
Occasionally, you will have to manually delete an image file from the InfiniBand system to make room for a new version. Refer to the "Deleting Files in the File System" section.
Inactive Image
An inactive image is an image that has been downloaded, but has not been installed. It is not the active, or system image.
The operating system can only store one inactive image. Delete inactive images through the CLI (refer to the "Deleting Files in the File System" section), or by clicking the delete button in the Element Manager.
Active Image
An active image is the current system image. An installed, or active image has gone through the entire upgrade process. The system image usually has a slash (/) in its name. Do not modify or delete the installed system image.
Recovery Image
The Recovery Image is a default image that comes installed on the system. The Recovery Image can be used to quickly restore operation to the system if an image upgrade should fail.
Version Numbers
The operating system and installed system image running on the InfiniBand system determine the supported software features.
Two types of system-images are provided:
•An image for the HCA card
•An image for the Cisco SFS 7000, Cisco SFS 7008, Cisco SFS 7008, or Cisco IB Server Switch Module.
Before configuring the InfiniBand system, check the version of the installed system image used to boot the chassis. Use this information to ensure that you upgrade to the correct software.
Copying/Downloading the Image
Upgrading the Server Switch operating system requires several steps, which are described in the following sections. One step is to copy the image before installing it.
Table 5-6 lists several options for copying the image into the system.

Card Status Requirements
Only cards with an oper-status of "up" are updated. If a card is down when you run install, or a card is added after running install, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Bring up the card
Step 2 Run the installation again.
Step 3 Specify the same image file. If the image is already installed on a card, that card is skipped.
Step 4 Be sure to specify the boot-config again so that all cards know to boot from the same system image.
Upgrade Procedure Overview
The system upgrade process is summarized in the following steps:
Step 1 Set up the hardware connection for the upgrade.
Step 2 Verify the installed system image version number.
Step 3 Download an image file from a network-accessible FTP server, or download an image file remotely from a TFTP server.
Step 4 Install the new system image.
Step 5 Configure the CLI and Element Manager to use the appropriate configuration file the next time they reboot.
Step 6 Reboot the system.
Installing a Software Image
To install an image file, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Click the Maintenance menu and choose File Management. The File Management window opens.
Note If you have not already imported an image file to your file system, refer to the "Importing Configuration Files and Image Files" section.
Step 2 Click the line in the Current Files on System table that lists the file that you want to install, and then click the Install button. A verification window opens.
Note Before you install an image, verify that you have brought up all of the cards on the chassis that you want to run the new image. Cards that run a different image from the chassis cannot pass traffic.
Note Alert other users that you plan to install a new image to your Server Switch.
Step 3 Click the Yes button to install the image.
