DETAILED STEPS
Verifying Automatic Upgrades of EPLD Images
To check on the automatic upgrade status while the upgrades occur or after the upgrades, use the
commands listed in Table 8-12.
Resetting Automatic Upgrades of EPLD Images
If the automatic upgrade function has stopped because it has exceeded the maximum number of allowed
update attempts, you will see the following message:
switch# 2013 May 21 13:30:21 switch %$ VDC-1 %$_ %USER-2-SYSTEM_MSG:
<<%EPLD_AUTO-2-AUTO_UPGRADE_CHECK>> Automatic EPLD upgrade check for module 15: Max
retries reached. Use 'clear auto-upgrade epld flags all' to upgrade. - epld_auto
You can reset the automatic upgrade process in one of the following ways:
• Clearing the auto-upgrade epld flags for all of the I/O modules by using the clear auto-upgrade
epld flags all command.
• Clearing the auto-upgrade epld flags for a specific I/O module by using the clear auto epld flags
module_number command.
• Restarting the switch.
