6. From the switch console, ftp the new OpenArchitect (rdr) image from the local system
to your switch.
7. The switch has two flash available: Device 1 and device 2. Use the zflash command to
write the new OpenArchitect image into the first flash device.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that Surviving Partner is not running before using zflash. The
delays incurred while zflash writes the flash can cause the Surviving Partner daemons to
think there is a failure, resulting in link oscillation.

zsync
After running zsync, the file is saved to the flash for future reboots.
Excluding Saving Files to Flash
Specific files or directories can be excluded from saving to flash by zsync by including an entry
in /etc/exclude. Likewise, existing entries in /etc/exclude such as /tmp can be removed
in order to save those files to flash with zsync.

Upgrading the Switch Driver
The switch driver upgrade process is the same as a file upgrade. However, more caution should
be taken since the driver module is likely to be the method by which you are logging into the
system. If the switch driver has a problem, you will need to have a console cable to recover. To
upgrade a switch driver, replace the file /lib/modules/if_zxe.o, run zsync and reboot.
