Upgrade bootrom on module in BD8810

Upgrade bootrom on module in BD8810

I installed a new module in our BD8810 this morning and it logged "HAL.Card: MSM-A: Slot 4 bootrom 1.0.4.0 is out of date, do 'install firmware' to install 1.0.4.1."

Can I run install firmware and it will update the bootrom on only this module and not affect anything else since they are all at 1.0.4.1 already? I can then reboot Slot 4 so it comes up on the new bootrom? This is a core switch and I cannot take it down.

Thanks

Dh,

Did you get it upgraded?

Dave,

'force' option installs the new firmware without a version check. Please see the command details with example output for BD platforms.
http://documentation.extremenetworks.com/exos_commands_16/exos_16_2/exos_commands_all/r_install-firm...

if you are still seeing the log message about slot 4 image being out-of-date even after running the 'install firmware' command, then 'force' option can be used.

Thanks,
Ijaz

When I run the install firmware it says the firmware versions are current but I can see that slot 4 is still at 1.0.4.0

What if I run install firmware force, will that force it to upgrade?
