Upgrading satellite software

About this task

This procedure describes how to change or upgrade the satellite software.

Procedure

Copy the new satellite software images to a local compact flash card. It is recommended that the new image files be placed in a different directory.
Although you can store the satellite software on a remote server and use a URL to reference the remote location, it is recommended that the primary image location is locally accessible.
Create a new software repository using a new name and at least a primary-location for the 7210 SAS-Sx image.
Modify the satellite configuration such that the software-repository references the newly created software repository.
Use the following CLI contexts:
- MD-CLI
```
configure satellite ethernet-satellite
```
- classic CLI
```
configure system satellite eth-sat
```
Reboot the satellite to load the new software. Depending on whether a firmware update is needed, perform one of the following steps to reboot the satellite.
- If a satellite firmware update is not required:
  1. The satellite loads the new software the next time it reboots.
  2. You can reset the satellite with the following administrative commands, if required:
    - MD-CLI
```
admin satellite ethernet-satellite reboot now
```
    - classic CLI
```
admin satellite eth-sat reboot now
```
- If a satellite firmware update is required:
  1. To continue the upgrade to the 7210 firmware image, enter one of the following commands and allow it to execute completely:
    - MD-CLI
```
admin satellite ethernet-satellite synchronize
```
    - classic CLI
```
admin satellite eth-sat sync-boot-env
```
  2. Reboot the satellite to update the firmware image.
    
    The following commands cause the 7210 SAS-Sx to upgrade the included firmware images. This process takes longer than a normal reboot.
    - MD-CLI
```
admin satellite ethernet-satellite reboot upgrade
```
    - classic CLI
```
admin satellite eth-sat reboot upgrade now
```
